Description

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling bee pathogens.

Traditionally reared. When a honeybee was ill, it was disinfected by sunlight, administered drugs, and incinerated.

Japanese Patent Application 2013-34145

The number of environmental pollutants on the earth continues to increase. Especially, neonicotinoid-based pesticides, which are methods for exterminating pests by insulting nerves, have a global impact on the bee ecosystem. In addition, the radioactive substance Tritium (3H), which destroys the fundamentals of genes in living organisms, is steadily increasing as a by-product of nuclear energy, and its concentration in the atmosphere is about to reach 100 times if several decades ago.
These substances called environmental hormones (endocrine disrupting chemicals) not only reduce the immunity of living organisms, but honey bee diseases are also common in western honey bees, such as ridge group collapse syndrome (CCD) and Japan. In the honey bee, it has recently become a new problem such as sac brood virus disease (SBV disease) and red Linda damage.

Until now, in Japan, most honeybee pathogens are treated with drugs containing antibiotics, etc. Forensic infectious diseases such as Chalk disease and Fuso disease range within a few kilometers around the affected area. The whole birdhouse was incinerated.

There is almost no method that does not use a drug as prior art relating to the pathogen of bees, and only Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-34145 filed by the present inventor is available. Japanese Patent Application No. 2013-34145 was a method of disinfection by irradiating the nest's child-rearing area by using natural sunlight to enter the nest box through a transparent body, but the treatment effect was low and the irradiation time was long. It took.

The present invention relates to a honeybee pathogen extermination method characterized by irradiating a bee nest, a burrow, and a bee larvae that inhabit the burrow with a germicidal line of a germicidal lamp. The sterilization lamp movable frame (may be in close contact) is attached to the opening of the cell housing frame, and the sterilization lamp can be fixed to the sterilization lamp movable frame, or at least vertically, horizontally, and back and forth. The invention relates to a bee pathogen extinguishing apparatus, characterized by being attached to a bee. In the case of sunlight, the dose that is absorbed by the ozone layer and reaches the ground is a sterilization lamp in a frame that blocks light instead of sterilization rays (UV-C) in ultraviolet rays (UV). A method to disinfect pathogens by irradiating germicide rays to the deepest burrows in the honeybee vesicles and to the pathogens in the larvae of honeybees bred in the burrows, far stronger than the dose contained in sunlight. It is.

For organisms with large physiques such as humans, cows and chickens, germicidal lines having a short wavelength of 200 nm to 300 nm are difficult to irradiate deep into the body and are absorbed by tissues near the surface of the body. Using a method and device to eliminate bee pathogens, several millimeter-long honey bee larvae can be irradiated deep into the body, killing or inactivating pathogens present in the entire nest and the bee larvae. It became possible.

In the present invention, the germicidal line of a germicidal lamp, which has a germicidal effect as much as 1600 times when irradiated from a distance of 50 cm at an output of 15 W, is compared with a germicidal line contained in direct sunlight on a sunny day in midsummer. When irradiating the entire body and the nest directly from a short distance, the germicidal line reaches the pathogens intervening in the honeybee larvae, and the pathogens in the honeybee larvae are also killed or inactivated to stop the infection. . When the larvae nurtured in the burrow, the burrow, and the entire nest were irradiated directly with the germicidal line of the germicidal lamp, the ruled disease group returned to the normal group.

The germicidal line emitted from the germicidal lamp can irradiate deep into the burrow or into the body of a few millimeter long bee larvae that inhabit the burrow. The size is several micrometers for fungi, and the virus is very small, a few nanometers. By controlling the amount of germicidal radiation, it is possible to eliminate only the pathogen while keeping the bee larvae alive. is there.

As an effective example, a shield is installed between the sterilization lamp part of the nesting area of the nest housed in the nest storage frame and the sterilization lamp. Although it can be moved back and forth, as needed, to move back and forth, and after removing only the pathogen attached to parts other than the child-rearing zone (over 10 minutes), the shield is removed and the bee larvae do not die again. Irradiate the entire nest with an appropriate sterilizing dose (with a new dry bulb 10W sterilization lamp, the distance from the centriole to the sterilization lamp is about 1 to 2 cm, and the time is about 10 seconds). Thus, the treatment method with the honeybee larvae kept alive, and the subsequent return of the swarm went smoothly. Concerns that when a sterilizing dose that causes death to the bee larvae is irradiated, the small-aged young larvae at the bottom of the burrow will remain forever and the queen's spawning activity will stop and the pollen collection will stop for a while. Is done.

It has been clarified that organisms and viruses that have been exposed to germicidal radiation have the effect of destroying thymine in genes and uracil in ribosomes. The removal effect is high.

Since the sterilizing radiation dose is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the closer to the pathogen, the higher the pathogen extinction rate. Therefore, the irradiation method from a short distance as much as possible is highly effective and can shorten the time.

It is the perspective view which notched a part of bee pathogen extermination apparatus which shows embodiment of this invention. FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along line AA in FIG.

FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of an example of the present apparatus showing an embodiment of the invention, and is a partially cut away view for explaining the internal structure.
As shown in FIG. 1, a sterilizing lamp 7 is hung on the upper part of the sterilizing lamp movable frame 1 and a groove sterilizing lamp lifting groove 3 that can be moved left and right is provided. The sterilization lamp 7 provided in the sterilization line movable frame 1 is fixed from the outside with the sterilization lamp hanging bracket 9 and the sterilization lamp movable handle 4, or at least vertically, left and right, front and rear It was movable in the direction. The nest storage frame 2 is a frame that stores an example of the nest 8 fixed to the nest frame 5, and a bactericidal line (not shown) emitted from the germicidal lamp 7 can be irradiated to the entire surface of the nest 8 and externally. This is a frame that prevents leakage. Reference numeral 6 shows a power source for lighting the germicidal lamp 7.

Fig. 2 shows the growth process of larvae 12 immediately after birth of honeybees, larvae 13, 14 and 15 from the 3rd to 8th ages, It is the figure which displayed the effective sterilization line irradiation angle to 16. Reference numeral 10 denotes the direction of the bactericidal line from the germicidal lamp 7, and reference numeral 11 denotes the irradiation angle of the conventional sunbeam and the light beam when the sunbeam is taken in when the sunbeam is introduced into the nest box through the transparent body and irradiated with the childcare area. Shows direction. Reference numeral 9 denotes a germicidal lamp hanging bracket that cannot be illustrated in FIG.

According to the present invention, by using this device, the pathogen that grows in the body of the larva in the nest and the burrow is irradiated with the germicidal line of the germicidal lamp, so that the conventional sunlight can be transmitted through the transmission body. It was possible to get rid of the pathogen much more effectively than the method of irradiating the child-rearing area of the nest. Further, in the conventional drug administration method, it is necessary to elucidate the type of pathogen and administer a drug effective against the pathogen, but this apparatus has been found to have a therapeutic effect on most pathogens.

It is possible to return to a healthy bee group that can be killed by irradiating germicidal lines to pathogens that grow in the body of larvae and cause harm in the larvae's parenting area It was.
