Abstract

Man kan bekæmpe varroa-mider på flere måder: Biotekniske metoder, vha. organiske syrer eller pesticider - brugen af pesticider kan ikke anbefales, da det kan medføre restkoncentrationer i honning og voks, samt udvikling af resistens hos miderne.Varroa mites can be combated in several ways: Biotechnical methods, using organic acids or pesticides - the use of pesticides is not recommended as it can lead to residues in honey and wax, as well as development of resistance in the mites.

Description

BeskrivelseDescription

Opfindelsen tilhøre landsbrugs området,apparatet bekæmper varroa mide der angriber honningbier.The invention belongs to the agricultural area, the apparatus combats varroa mite that attacks honeybees.

Apparatet til bekæmpelse af varroa mide monteres ved bistadens indgang, til sortering og bortskaffelse af syge, defekte bier, der bærer varroa miden på sig.The device for controlling varroa mite is mounted at the entrance of the hive, for sorting and disposal of diseased, defective bees carrying the varroa mite.

Apparatet er en kasse med en passage[7], (eller flere - alt efter bistade størrelse og behov), den er vandtæt og kræver en strømkilde.The device is a box with a passage [7] (or more - depending on the size and needs of the hive), it is waterproof and requires a power source.

Varroa Jacobsoni er en mide, der suger sig fast på bien (Apis mellifera , Apis cerana), den voksne mide er mellem 1.1 mm til 1.6mm og kan ses med det blotte øje.Varroa Jacobsoni is a mite that gets stuck on the bee (Apis mellifera, Apis cerana), the adult mite is between 1.1mm to 1.6mm and can be seen with the naked eye.

Miden kom til Danmark i 1984, og har siden spredt sig effektivt, således at den i dag findes over helle landet.Miden came to Denmark in 1984, and has since spread effectively, so that today it is found all over the country.

Ifølge opfindelsen har apparatet en ind- og udgang[2], en passage[7] der indeholder et kamera[3], en elektrisk leder[6], en anden port[8], et passagegulv[10] der er indrettet til at kunne åbnes nedad som en faldelem. Desuden indgår der i apparatet en computer med et program, der kan kende forskel mellem en rask bi og en varroa-bærende bi (defekt bi). Når computeren genkender en defekt bi giver den signal til en elektrisk leder[6] om at give stød til passagen.According to the invention, the apparatus has an inlet and outlet [2], a passage [7] containing a camera [3], an electrical conductor [6], a second port [8], a passage floor [10] arranged to could be opened downwards like a trap. In addition, the apparatus includes a computer with a program that can know the difference between a healthy bee and a varroa-bearing bee (defective bee). When the computer recognizes a defective bee, it gives a signal to an electrical conductor [6] to give shock to the passage.

Apparatet til bekæmpelse af varroa mide, er en alternativ løsning til syre og pesticider, der i dag anvendes til bekæmpelse af varroa miden.The varroa mite control device is an alternative solution to acid and pesticides used today to control the varroa mite.

Grunden til, at man er nødsaget til at brænde bien, er, at varroa miden ikke kun suger blod fra bien og formerer sig på biens yngel, men også smitter bien med (DWV) deform vinge-virus, en skadelig virus der forkorter biens levetid og evner.The reason you have to burn the bee is that the varroa mite not only sucks blood from the bee and multiplies on the bee's brood, but also infects the bee with (DWV) deform wing virus, a harmful virus that shortens the life of the bee and abilities.

Varroa miden et internationalt problem. Biologer, genetikkere, kemikere og landsbrugs ingeniører prøver at finde en løsning, idet den påvirker den globale landsbrugsproduktion markant og koster mange milliarder hver år.Varroa mean an international problem. Biologists, geneticists, chemists and agricultural engineers are trying to find a solution, having a significant impact on global agricultural production and costing billions every year.

Mange satser på en genetisk løsning ved at fremavle bier, der selv kan beskytte sig fra varroa miden, men indtil da, er apparatet den mest bæredygtige og praktiske løsning.Many people are looking for a genetic solution by breeding bees that can protect themselves from the varroa mite, but until then, the device is the most sustainable and practical solution.

Apparatets funktionFunction of the device

Bien (arbejderbier eller droner) kommer ind af indgangen[2], hvortil IR kameraet [3] automatisk tager et billede af bien og sender det til computeren. Er bien varroa-fri, får denne lov at passere videre ind i bistaden. Er bien bærer af varroa miden, lukker begge passagens porter [1] &[8] automatisk, og den elektriske leder giver bien et stød, der bevirker, at både bi og varroa mide dør. Efter dette stød, åbner gulvet i passagen ned af, hvorpå den brændte bi og mide falder ned i en affaldspose. Herpå lukkes gulvet atter og første og anden passage indgangsporte åbnes igen, så de varroa-frie bier frit kan passere ind i bistaden.The bee (worker bees or drones) enters the input [2], to which the IR camera [3] automatically takes a picture of the bee and sends it to the computer. If the bee is varroa-free, this is allowed to pass further into the hive. If the bee is carrying the varroa mite, both gates of the passage [1] & [8] automatically close, and the electric conductor gives the bee a shock, causing both bee and varroa mite to die. After this shock, the floor of the passage opens down from where the burnt bee and mite fall into a garbage bag. The floor is then closed again and the first and second passage entrance gates are opened again, allowing the varroa-free bees to freely pass into the hive.

Hele processen tager blot et par sekunder. Se diagrammet fig. 4The whole process takes just a few seconds. See the diagram fig. 4

Computerprogrammet er forholdsvis simpelt og sammenligner, billedet af den passerende bi, med billeder af en varroa-inficeret bi. Enten er resultatet positivt [+] eller negativt [-]. Teknikken er kendt fra fiskedamesortering, og billedsorterings programmer så som f.eks Picasa.The computer program is relatively simple and compares, the image of the passing bee, with images of a varroa-infected bee. Either the result is positive [+] or negative [-]. The technique is known from fish lady sorting and image sorting programs such as Picasa.

Da kitin-indholdet af varroa midens skelets adskiller sig markant fra biens, har miden en anderledes refleksion under et IR kamera, der skaber en så tydelig kontrast, hvilket gør det nemt at sortere et billede af en varroa-bærende bi, fra en varroa-fri bi. Se fig. [3] se diagrammet fig. 4Since the chitin content of the varroa mid skeleton differs markedly from that of the bee, the mite has a different reflection under an IR camera which creates such a clear contrast, which makes it easy to sort an image of a varroa-bearing bee from a varroa free bee. See FIG. [3] see the diagram fig. 4

Claims

Patent claim: Apparatus for combating varroa mite on honey bee. The apparatus has a passage with (7) with entrance and exit (2) provided with doors [l] In the passage a scanner is arranged e.g. a camera (3) suitable for taking pictures of the bee (5) and sending them to the computer. Characterized by the computer being arranged to send a signal of partly closing on entry and exit doors, in the presence of bees with varroa mite in the passage, and partly opening of entrance and exit doors, furthermore the apparatus has an electrical conductor (6) arranged for to give a shock to the passage where this causes the bee and varroa mite to burn. Finally, the passage has a gate (10) which is partly open to open, whereby burned bee and varroa mite can fall into a waste bag and part to be closed.
