Description

The present invention relates to the field of beekeeping, in particular for obtaining feed, providing an increase in the egg production of queen bees.

Due to adverse environmental conditions, feeding bees with quality food is an urgent problem to ensure the physiological state of bee colonies, including increasing the egg production of queen bees.

The main feeding of bees is sugar syrup (Prince Taranova G.F., Feed and feeding of bees, M .: Rosselkhozizdat. - 1972, p. 47), in which the absence of amino acids, vitamins, mineral salts and other biologically active substances leads to weakening bee families.

Known feed additive for stimulating the reproduction of insects VESP is a vitamin-ecdysterone stimulator of bees, which is a tablet weighing 0.1 g, including as a biologically active component a mixture of ecdysterone, vitamin B ₁₂ and a filler in the following ratio of components (wt.%):

vitamin B ₁₂ 0,0008-0,0012 ecdysterone 0,0008-0,0012 filler rest

as a filler is used, as a rule, the following mixture with a ratio of components (wt.%):

starch 20,0-40,0 stearic acid 0.5-1.5 sugar rest

In addition, the filler may contain glucose, fructose, etc. instead of sugar, and gelatin and other sorbids instead of starch [1].

Also known is the feed additive, which is part of the drug "BeeLodar" in order to increase the resistance of bees and the prevention of poisoning based on biologically active substances. It contains 17 L-amino acids, the simplest peptides, micro and macro elements, nucleic acids, hexuronic acids and additionally contains water as a solvent. The prototype [2].

Known feed and feed additives, due to the negative impact of environmental and anthropogenic environmental factors, do not ensure the full development of bee colonies, therefore, the egg production of the uterus.

The objective of our research was to obtain feed for bees, which ensures the full development of bee colonies and increase the egg production of queen bees.

The problem was solved due to the fact that the composition of the proposed feed includes the following components (wt.%):

Vitamin Ecdysterone Bees Stimulator 1.0-2.0 Yuvemon 0.2-1.0 SGOL-1-40 2.0-4.0 Melissa 2.0-4.0 Sugar is used to make syrup. 30,0 Powdered sugar is used to make tortillas. 60.0-76.0 Distilled water Rest

The proposed food is prepared and used in two forms - when 30.0% of sugar is added, syrup is obtained, and when using powdered sugar (60.0-76.0%), a tortilla.

Example 1

Preparation of feed (syrup): dried lemon balm (20 g) is poured with boiling water (649 ml), the resulting solution is filtered, sugar is added (300 g), and then (after cooling to 37 ° C) the remaining components are VESP (10 g), SGOL-1-40 (20 g), juvemon (1 g).

In the experimental groups, bee families were selected that were equal in terms of brood number and strength. Four families were put to the test in the experiment, and four on the control - with the uterus of the first year of life.

The test group was given the proposed food in the form of syrup of 50 ml per family weekly during the experiment, and the control - 50 ml of 30% sugar syrup without additives. The experiments were carried out for 48 days. The total number of printed brood was recorded every 12 days (i.e., on the 1st day of feeding, then on the 12th, 24th, 36th and 48th days). Calculation of the average daily egg production of the queen bee and statistical processing was carried out according to generally accepted methods.

A positive effect of the proposed feed was found and an increase in the egg production of the queen bees in the control groups by 15%, which was more pronounced on the 24th - 36th day (Fig. 1, Appendix). The prolonged action of the feed can be explained by the use and metabolization of its biologically active components by the nurse bees.

Example 2

Food preparation (cake): dried lemon balm (40 g) is poured with boiling water (210 ml), the resulting solution is filtered after cooling to 37 ° C, sugar powder (680 g), VESP (20 g), SGOL-1-40 ( 40 g), juvemon (10 g) and mix.

In the experimental groups, bee families were selected that were equal in terms of brood number and strength. Four families were put to the test in the experiment, and four on the control - with the uterus of the first year of life.

The test group proposed a modernized feed in the form of tortillas was given 50 g per family weekly during the experiment, and the control - 50 ml of a 30% sugar solution. The experiments were conducted within 48 days. Counting the number of eggs laid by the queen bee per day was carried out analogously to example 1. The test results are shown in table 1.

The effectiveness of the influence of feed is clearly manifested in the 3rd week after the start of its use and continues even after a general decrease in egg production by the fifth week, due to the natural seasonal reduction in the strength of families.

The calculated reliability criterion for the difference t = 3.36 between the average values in the control (1259 ± 52.9) and experience (1444 ± 29.5) indicates the effect of the proposed feed on the average daily egg production of queen bees with a significance level of P = 0.05. Uterine egg growth increases by an average of 14% -30%.

- Vitamin-ecdysterone stimulator of bees (VESP), which is part of the proposed feed, stimulates the growth and development of bees and includes, as biologically active components, a mixture of ecdysterone (0.0008-0.0012%) - insect molting hormone, vitamin B ₁₂ ( 0.0008-0.0012%), starch (20.0-40.0%), stearic acid (0.5-1.5%), sugar - the rest.

- Yuvemon - a synthetic analogue of juvenile hormone that controls the growth and molting of insects, increases the egg production of the uterus (3), is not toxic to vertebrates, quickly decomposes in the environment and in the organism of warm-blooded, does not produce dangerous products.

- GOL 1-40 (hydrolyzed whey enriched with lactates) is known as a dietary supplement to increase the egg production of queen bees (3). SGOL 1-40 is a therapeutic, prophylactic and dietary food product, is produced at dairy plants in accordance with RF patent No. 1831292. The Hygienic certificate for products, goods No. 77.99.9.916.P.13658.8.00 of 08/14/2000 was issued.

100 g of the SGOL-1-40 product contain: proteins - 6.8 g, fats - 1.2 g, carbohydrates - 3.5 g, nucleic acids - 0.045 g, lactates - 17.5 g; Vitamins (mg / 100 g): C - 5.6; E is 0.19; B ₁ - 0.155; B ₂ - 0.97; B ₆ - 0.19; beta-carotene - 3.8; ergosterol - 0.5 g; Macronutrients (mg / 100 g): Ca - 770, Mg - 110, K - 973, Na - 2175; Trace elements (μg / 100 g): Fe - 710, Mn - 24, Co - 7.6, Ni - 9, Cr - 94, Se - 4.91, Zn - 1.63, Cu - 1.4, P ( mg / g) - 4.57. Calorie content is 123.5 kcal / 100 g. The titer of milk bacteria is 10 ⁴ -10 ⁵ .

- It is widely known and used in beekeeping that Melissa (Melissae officinalis herba) is a melliferous and medicinal plant from the family Labiaceae, the generic name is derived from the Greek word Melissa - bee, as the plant attracts bees. Even dried grass is attractive to bees, it is rubbed with swarms and new hives (http://www.beelife.org> melliferous plants> melissa.html). Melissa gives the feed an attractive effect on bees.

- Under the action of the above components of the proposed feed, their combined positive effect on the growth and development of the bee family is manifested, the egg production of the queen bees increases by 14% -30%.

- The feed does not violate the normal development cycle of the bee family, while all components of the feed do not adversely affect bees and humans.

- Winter bees leave decreases.

- The proposed feed is stable, easy to use and transport.

We tested the proposed feed with a positive result in the apiary of the Pskov Research Institute of Agriculture in 2005-2010.

The proposed feed will be widely used in beekeeping, greenhouse farms and the private sector of the Russian Federation, and will allow you to get full-fledged bee families, and, therefore, increase the yield of the quantity of quality honey.
