Diarrhea bees spring
Diarrhea bees spring: causes.
Bees, Unlike many insects, do not fall into hibernation.
They actively feed and grow brood.
To maintain the temperature in the nest on Normal, toiler whipped a ball.
The heat released by operation pectoral muscles.
But often diarrhea bees in the spring causes meager medosbora and even death family.
There are several main causes of diarrhea bees, the most common of which is nozematoz.
This bacterial infection. To avoid this phenomenon, it is imperative to include in the autumn of processing nests antibacterial drugs.
Bees often watered or fed medications as a preventive measure. But very often beekeepers are to blame for the deaths due to diarrhea bees.
Why bees oponosylys?
It should be understood, that insects usually get rid of feces during the spring overflight.
But this is only, If the intestine is not full. Of course, starve the bees can not, so they also die.
But the situation affect you. It should not only warm nest, but do not forget about ventilation.
The most common cause of diarrhea is not nozematoz, Beekeeper and laziness or inexperience
Causes of diarrhea:
- high humidity winterers;
- appearance early brood;
- cold nest;
- presence of pests;
- bad food.
pay attention, honeydew honey in a lot of minerals and trace elements, because the intestine is full toilers soon, than other varieties of nectar.
In the fall of padevogo replace honey with added sugar tыstom antibiotics. So you can make a difference.
As humidity affects the health of bees?
The point is, that at high humidity insects trying to remove excess water from winterers, as active flutter, in accordance, increased energy costs.
Worker forced to eat more, to air Zimovniki. The same happens, If the nest is too cold.
Insects spend a lot of energy to heat.
Exacerbates the situation the emergence of early brood.
Need periodically inspect hive, to cut and stop the uterus brood.
According to observations, more likely to suffer diarrhea south breed bees.
This is because, they need to make genetically planted very early spring circled.
If pivdenky living in northern latitudes, they are forced to defecate in the hive, because at this time in warm areas already harvested honey insects.
From the foregoing it follows, the smaller bees will spend energy to maintain normal microclimate in nest, the less they will spend feed.
In accordance, their intestines will not jam.
task Beekeeper – provide heat input into the slot and make good ventilation, so that moisture does not accumulate in winterers.
To do this at warming the hive using breathable materials. Floor wintering put straw mat.
Better insulation between the bottom and leave a gap 1 cm. Since moisture will accumulate on the walls of the hive in the form of condensate.
