Description

Method for detecting bee cleaning behavior
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of bee cleaning behavior detection, in particular to a method for detecting a bee cleaning behavior.
Background
Bees are important economic insects. The social benefit and the ecological benefit of bee breeding are very obvious. The effect of bees on the sustainable development of the ecological environment is mainly embodied in the pollination aspect of the flowering plants, the propagation of the flowering plants is ensured, the diversity of plants and pollinating insects is realized, and the method is an important condition for keeping ecological balance and ecological sustainable development. At present, more than 800 million bee colonies are bred in China, the annual output value of bee products is more than 120 hundred million yuan, and pollination contributes to about 500 hundred million yuan.
Interpretation of terms:
a cleaning action: and (4) clearing up the behavior of diseased, dead and unhealthy bee pupae by bee colonies.
Bee pupae in the red eye stage: the bee pupa gradually darkens from white to brown in the development process, and the eye color of the bee pupa is pink about 5-7 days after the sealing, which is called the red eye stage bee pupa.
And (3) spleen: the spleen of the honey comb is called the son spleen when the eggs, larvae and pupae are located.
And (4) sealing the cover: and the bee pupas are sealed by the beeswax on the 9 th day of the worker bee pupas, and the sealed bee pupas become sealing covers.
The varroa destructor is the most serious enemy which harms the health of western bees and is a prominent problem in bee breeding production. The varroa destructor is parasitic mite outside the bee body, is a large enemy of the domesticated bee, and is found to be parasitic on some varieties of western bees and eastern bees at present. The varroa jacobsoni parasitizes on adult bee bodies to suck body fluid (hemolymph), and when the varroa jacobsoni is slightly harmful, bee collection is influenced, so that bees are deformed, wings are rolled, and the service life is shortened; in severe cases, a large number of pupae in the bee colony can not emerge, new bees can not be produced, the colony vigor is reduced, even the whole colony dies, serious loss is brought to the bee colony, and the bee-keeping benefit is remarkably reduced. The breeding of the bee mites needs to be finished in the bee sealing cover, and the bee pupae absorb nutrition, so the bee pupae becomes a host place for breeding the bee mites. The bee has the behavior of checking whether the bee pupae are healthy and cleaning up sick, dead and unhealthy bee pupaes, the behavior is called a cleaning behavior, the bee colony with a strong cleaning behavior can open the cover in time, the bee pupae parasitized by bee mites are cleaned, the breeding process of the bee mites is interrupted, bee mite eggs or larvae are dead, and therefore the harm of the bee mites to the bee colony is reduced.
The main method for preventing varroa destructor is chemical method, i.e. chemical medicine is used to kill varroa destructor. But the amount of drug used is critical. If the dosage is too much, the newly emerged worker bees are damaged, and chemical medicine residues in bee products are caused; the dosage is too small, and the effect of removing mites cannot be achieved. Therefore, the method for detecting the intensity of the bee cleaning behavior is also a main method for identifying the anti-mite bee colony, and has important significance for breeding bee varieties (strains) with strong anti-mite capability.
Therefore, how to provide a method for detecting bee cleaning behavior to evaluate the intensity of the cleaning behavior of the bees, so as to breed a bee variety (line) with strong anti-mite capability is a technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
