Residue problem in varroa struggle, residue in honey
It has resulted in the trend towards non-releasing products. also
Against varro all season, including nectar flow period
The thought of waging an effective struggle also contributes to this process.
provided. In this regard, using powdered sugar against varroa
combat techniques have been developed. The method is from sugar beets
made from very fine or double-ground sugar
between the frame of bees in bee colonies of powdered sugar
It is based on pouring on.
Placing under the frames before application
Adhesive with petroleum jelly or liquid oil.
papers are prepared. Also, so that the bees do not stick to this paper
A sieve with 3x3 mm holes is placed on it.
Drawers in hives with pollen trap are also
can be used. 125 g per 10 frame colony in this system
powdered sugar in the frames with the help of a sieve mug
it is poured evenly between and over. Frame on them
the remaining powdered sugar can be removed from between the frames with the help of a beekeeper brush.
The process is completed by sweeping on the bees and the hive is closed.
The next day, the adhesive paper is removed. Application 2
Once a week and when the bees are not on the cluster easily
can be done. As an alternative application 3-4 times with an interval of 5-7 days
can also be applied. Residue risk in honey and beeswax
Since it is not available, it can be applied in all seasons.
Very small dust particles in powdered sugar application
powdered sugar converted into varroa nail tip
It covers the anchorage organelles (ambulacrum).
As a result, the mite slips over the bees
causing the mite to take oxygen
mite without oxygen by entering the air holes and getting moist
leaves. Powdered sugar to observe this effect
During the period of application, the ambient temperature is high and
Low humidity is technically important. Also powder
that the sugar is well ground and powdered, sugar
mite particles enter the ambulacrum and trachea
It is important for observing the expected effect.
Moisture-free and non-clumping for powdered sugar effectiveness
It is very important. Otherwise, the result from the application
can not be expected. Therefore, in hot and low humidity weather
implementation is more successful. However, the application of powdered sugar
It can be applied successfully as periodic and supportive treatment.
The method does not have a negative effect on bees, bee
does not leave any residue on its products, mechanically
As mites do not develop resistance because it shows its effect
unlike other chemical drugs, due to its various advantages
It can also be used at the time of nectar flow.
