Description
FEED FOR BEE MITE CONTROL AND A METHOD OF ITS PREPARATION
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a feed for controlling bee mites and a method of
its preparation. In the present invention, the feed is prepared by mixing cymiazole
with pollen or pollen substitute with a predetermined ratio. The feed prepared has
shown to have excellent effect in controlling bee mites, and also applicable to young
honey bees, to which the conventional acaricides have not been applicable, thus
eliminating problems raised with the conventional acaricides while capable of
breeding and nurturing of young honey bees.
Background Art
Generally, apiculture (bee farming) is considered a field of industry aiming at
profits to be earned by producing high level of health food with good nutrition by
means of good management in breeding, proliferation and production, distribution
of products, strategies for controlling diseases and harmful insects, improvement of
bee farming instruments, establishment and utilization of bee plants.
Honey is the representative health to be obtained from bee farming. Honey is a
monosaccharide comprising glucose and fructose as active ingredients, which can be
directly absorbed through the intestinal walls and consumed in muscle cells in each
part of a body thereby providing energy necessary for physical activities while the
remainders are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. Further, honey is a
complete health food containing inorganic substances necessary for a body to
promote physiological activities and assist with the complete development of bone
tissues.
Bee farming can produce a variety of products and contribute much to the
increase in household income due to the demand on the rapid increase. Further, it
can be used as a pollen mediator of various kinds of farming crops to improve their
products. Therefore, it has been adopted in the world as one of the major
agricultural policies and has been continuously developed.
For the development of bee farming industry it is essential to protect honey bees
from infections by bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc, in particular, from harmful
insects such as bee mites.
The bee mites, being parasites to honey bees, pass the winter by adhering
themselves to the bodies of honey bees. They lay 3-4 eggs in each hive which grow
into young mites having four pairs of legs 2 days after oviposition. Then, the young
mites acquire nutrient from the grown pupa of honey bees by attaching themselves
thereto as parasites, and grow together with the honey bees, thus preventing the
normal development and activities of the honey bees.
There are four methods that have been used for the control of bee mites as
follows.
First, there is a method to control bee mites by an intermittent treatment of
beehives with insecticides during the period of from the end of February to the end
of April. This is a strip treatment method where beehives are treated therein with an
insecticide, which is then instantly dissipated and evaporated, adhered to the body
of bee mites thereby capable of controlling bee mites.
Second, there is a method to control bee mites by a smoking treatment using a
smoke generated when the insecticide is burned.
Third, there is a method to control bee mites by spraying an insecticide where
the insecticide mixed with water is sprayed in between the hives.
Fourth, there is a method to control bee mites by treating them with an
insecticide which is mixed in a sugar solution (a breeding solution) to be fed to the
parasitic bee mites.
The conventional insecticides which have been used for the control of bee mites
and the methods of their uses are shown in Table 1.
[Table 1]
The first and the third methods above are shown effective in controlling bee
mites via direct sublimation, burning or spraying of the insecticide. However, they
are disadvantageous in that the insecticide remains in the products of bee farming
after the treatment thereby contaminating the beehives, which becomes a stress for
honey bees. The present invention is the one that improved the fourth method
above.
The fourth method relates to feed honey bees with a culturing solution
containing the insecticide, which is then delivered to bee mites parasitic to the honey
bees, thereby stopping metabolism of the bee mites and causing them to death. The
bee mites which obtain the body fluid from the honey bees to which they are
parasitic are destined to die within 1-2 days. However, this method has drawbacks
that old or adult honey bees tend to stir up the environment due to the stress
induced by the insecticide.
Further, while adult honey bees are capable of obtaining the culturing solution
and may be able to control bee mites, young honey bees cannot intake the culturing
solution and are thus hardly able to control bee mites, and they may become
disabled even though they intake the culturing solution.
Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have made extensive efforts to
solve the above problems. Based on the fact that the nurturing period of honey bees
and the bee mite control period, the inventors offered honey bees a pollen feed,
which is optimized by adding to pollen cymiazole, a chemical component having an
effect of controlling bee mites, to provide pollen as their nutrient source for their
proliferation, i.e., nurturing their offsprings, while allowing bee mites to suck the
body fluids of honey bees which are then destined to death by intaking the
cymiazole contained in the above pollen feed, thereby completing the present
invention.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a feed for controlling
bee mites prepared by fermentation of a mixture comprising cymiazole and pollen
or cymiazole and pollen substitute and a method of its preparation.
Disclosure
In an embodiment, the present invention provides a feed for bee mite control
prepared by fermentation of a mixture comprising cymiazole and pollen or
cymiazole and pollen substitute.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of preparing a
feed for bee mite control comprising:
1) mixing sugar to a ground pollen or its substitute;
2) adding cymizole to distilled water and dissolving it at 20 - 32 °C for 10 - 15
minutes to obtain an aqueous cymiazole solution;
3) adding dropwisely the aqueous cymiazole solution to the mixture in step 1)
for from 30 minutes to 4 hours, kneading the mixture, and molding it to obtain a
pollen feed; and
4) fermenting the pollen feed in a mellow room maintained at 25 - 32 0C for 3 -
7days.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention are set forth herein below.
The present invention relates to a feed for controlling bee mites and a method of
its preparation. In the present invention, the feed is prepared by mixing cymiazole
with pollen or pollen substitute with a predetermined ratio. The feed prepared as a
result is shown to have excellent activity in controlling bee mites, and also applicable
to young honey bees, to which the conventional acaricides have not been applicable,
thus eliminating problems raised with the conventional acaricides while capable of
breeding and nurturing of honey bees.
The present invention relates to a feed for controlling bee mites which is
prepared by adding cymiazole to pollen or pollen substitute followed by
fermentation.
The pollen used in this invention is essential to sustain the lives of adult honey
bees as well as to nurture young honey bees. Sufficient pollen should be supplied
for the breeding of honey bees, and artificial pollen or pollen substitute may be
provided if the pollen is not sufficiently supplied. Pollen or fermented substitute
pollen can be provided by feeding into a brood box used during the winter season.
In a further embodiment of the present invention, the feed is added with sugar so
that honey bees are in favor of intaking the feed. Preferable, the sugar is added with
a mixed ratio of 2:8 - 8:2 relative to the weight of pollen or pollen substitute. If the
amount of sugar exceeds the above amount, it would cause a problem in molding
the product into a certain shape, the product may be flown down, and deteriorate
the nutritional effect. In contrast, if the pollen exceeds the above amount, it would
greatly reduce preference, and may cause problems in aging and fermentation.
The effect of controlling bee mites in the present invention has been optimized
to have the dual effect of pollen as a nutrient and a drug for controlling insects by
adding cymiazole to pollen so that the body fluid of honey bees, which contains the
cymiazole as well as pollen, is transferred to the bee mites through the body fluid of
honey bees being suck thereby leading the bee mites to death.
In particular, the feed of the present invention contains a predetermined
amount of cymiazole, a drug for controlling bee mites, in addition to pollen to be
used as a nutrient for honey bees. Preferably, cymiazole is contained 0.001 - 1.0
weight % relative to the total 100 weight % of the feed. If the amount of cymiazole is
less than 0.0001 weight %, the feed would not have excellent control effect of bee
mites. Meanwhile, if the amount of cymiazole exceeds 1.0 weight %, honey bees tend
to avoid to intake the feed and their preference is greatly reduced.
In a still further embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a
method for preparing a feed for bee mite control as set forth hereunder.
In the first step, pollen or pollen substitute is pulverized and then added with
sugar, wherein the sugar is preferably mixed with pollen or pollen substitute with a
mixed ratio of 2:8 - 8:2 relative to the weight of 2:8 - 8:2.
In the second step, cymiazole is prepared by dissolving cymiazole at 20 - 32 0C
for 10 - 15 minutes to obtain cymiazole at a concentration of 0.01 - 1.0%.
Here, the cymiazole solution should contain a suitable amount of distilled water
so that it can perform a suitable effect of aging fermentation. If the concentration of
the aqueous cymiazole solution is less than 0.01%, the effect of the insecticide in
controlling bee mites becomes much reduced. Meanwhile, if the concentration of the
aqueous cymiazole solution is greater than 1.0%, it is not favored by honey bees due
to decreased palatability and thus it may not be used as a feed for honey bees.
Further, if the temperature is too low, dissolution may not be proceeded properly
thus making it difficult to evenly disperse cymiazole in the pollen feed. Meanwhile,
if the temperature is too high, it worsens processability and is also likely to
decompose the cymiazole. In case a sugar solution of 0.03 - 3.0% is added to the
above aqueous cymiazole solution, it may cause honey bees to avoid the resulting
feed due to reduced palatability.
In the third step, the mixture obtained in step 1) is dropwisely added with the
aqueous cymiazole solution in step 2) and kneaded to form a pollen feed. The
dropwise adding of the aqueous cymiazole solution is proceeded slowly for a period
of 30 minutes to 4 hours so that it can be evenly and easily absorbed into the pollen
feed. The pollen feed can be molded into a certain shape using a conventional
method.
In the fourth step, the pollen feed prepared in step 3) is aged at 25 - 32 0C for 3-7
days. If the temperature is outside the above range, aging becomes deteriorated or
the effects of the active nutrients may be decreased.
Thus obtained cymiazole is contained 0.001 - 1.0 weight % relative to the total
weight of the feed. The feed of the present invention was compared with those of
control groups - a group treated with a conventional pollen (control 1) and a group
treated with a drug (control 2) - and the results are shown in the following Table 2.
[Table 2]
experimental example, has advantages that it can exhibit its maximal drug effect
because the cymiazole contained in the feed is not decomposed, the drug content is
maintained at a constant level, and provides good palatability.
The advantages of the feed may be summarized as follows.
(1) The feed is surely able to control bee mites.
The pollen feed can nurture young honey bees while blocking the proliferation
of bee mites as well as their control.
(2) There is no risk resulted from the residue of a drug.
There is almost no risk a drug remnant as is the case with when the feed is
supplied in a sugar solution. Further, there is no need to use additional drug for
treatment and thus the feed is free from contamination of bee farming products.
(3) The feed can greatly reduce drug resistance.
(4) The feed does not give any stress to honey bees.
When honey bees are under stress, they shake their bodies vigorously, do not
hold their wings to their bodies but fly with their wings wide open, take aggressive
actions. The above behavior of honey bees are often observed when they are placed
under stressful conditions, however, they were observed to remain calm when they
were fed with the feed prepared using pollen.
(5) The feed can greatly reduce labor requirement.
The feeding including pollen prepared by in this invention does not require
treatment of a drug with either a feeding solution or the drug itself separately.
Therefore, the labor cost can be greatly reduced.
(6) The feed provide a good palatability.
Pollen is a food to be essentially provided to honey bees during spring, fall and
other no-honey-producing seasons, and thus it can provide a good palatability.
(7) The feed can be evenly shared by honey bees.
When the feed is provided using a sugar solution it is hard to control the supply
rate because it is fed by means of a water supply device. Further, honey bees with
relatively high activity tend to eat more than those with less activity, thus the
intended drug effect of controlling bee mites is not effective. In contrast, when the
feed prepared using pollen is provided to honey bees, it can be fed evenly both to
the honey bees with less activity as well as young honey bees thus capable of
maximizing the controlling effect.
(8) The feed does not necessitate the treatment with additional controlling drug.
In spring, feed should be given to honey bees and thus there is no need to treat
them with a drug for controlling bee mites.

and finally obtained 80 kg of a pollen feed in a rectangular form.
4) The above pollen feed was fermented in an aging room at 30 0C for 3-7 days.
5) The above pollen feed was packed into a product.
Test Example 1: Evaluation of Palatability
Ten 1 kg packs of the feed prepared in Example 1 were sent to 5 selected bee farms
[Singi-myeon, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, Korea; Imok-ri, Namseong-myeon,
Cheongwon-gun, Chungcheongbuk-do, Korea; Bongnyong-dong, Sangju-si,
Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea; Ogok-2 ri, Buk-myeon, Cheonan-si,
Chungcheongnam-do, Korea; Gilmyeong-2 ri, Ildong-myeon, Pocheon-si,
Gyeonggi-do, Korea], and the total of 50 packs were evaluated for their palatability
over two week period as compared with those of pollen substitute.
1) excellent palatability : 7 bee hives
2) good palatability : 28 bee hives
3) fair palatability : 15 bee hives
4) poor palatability: 0 bee hive
5) very poor palatability: 0 bee hive
Test Example 2: Evaluation of Storage Stability
1 kg each of the feed prepared in Examples 1-3 was extracted 3 times with 2,500
mL of ethyl alcohol, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then the organic
solution was evaporated under reduced pressure and finally obtained a light brown
oil-phased solid. The amount of cymiazole contained in the solid obtained thereof
was different from that used in the Examples because the cymiazole was adsorbed to
the pores of the pollen.
In order to evaluate the storage stability of the feed prepared according to the
present invention, the cymiazole content contained in the feed at the stage of
immediately after its preparation, those of l-,3-, 6-,9-, and 12 months after its
preparation, respectively, were compared. The results are shown in Table 4. The
cymiazole content was analyzed by HPLC using the soluble substance extracted
from the above solid substance with methylene chloride.
lTable 4]
Cymiazole content extracted from the feed; Evaluation via HPLC on storage stability
As shown in the above Table 4, the results of the storage stability test revealed
that the cymiazole contained in the feeds prepared in Examples 1-3 are very stable
during the period of immediately after its preparation to 12 months after its
preparation and thus it can be concluded that it is stable during the process of
fermentation, aging and storage (see Fig. 2).
Test Example 3: Analysis of Water Content
The water content of the feed prepared in the present invention is closely
associated with fermentation, aging, palatability, etc., and thus the water content of
the feed was analyzed after its preparation.
The feeds prepared in Examples 1-3 were analyzed at regular intervals from
immediately after its preparation to 12 months after its preparation. The theoretical
water content of the feed is 12.5% [equation : (10/80) X 100 = 12.5%].
The feeds prepared in Examples 1-3 were removed of their water and volatile
components by placing them at 105 0C for 3 hours, and their average water content
is shown in Table 5. The water content of the feeds was shown higher than that of
the theoretical value because of the water content contained in the pollen itself.
[Table 5] Water content of the feed of the present invention
Examples 1-3 is 13-14%. If the water content is less than 10% it is difficult to make a
suitable pollen feed. Meanwhile, if the water content is greater than 30% it prevents
a proper molding of the pollen feed. Therefore, it is preferred that the water content
of a pollen feed be in the range of 10-20% to be suitable for fermentation, aging and
palatability.
Test Example 4: Identification of Components
This test is to confirm that cymiazole, contained in the feed after preparation, is
not decomposed during the process of aging, storage, and distribution.
As shown in Example 1, 1 kg of the feed (pollen feed) was extracted with ethyl
alcohol after storing it at room temperature for 1 year, and then the organic solution
was evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain 0.14 g of a solid on brown oil
phase. The resultant was dissolved in methylene chloride, and then separated by
thin film chromatography through a silica gel 230 mesh using ethyl acetate-hexane
(1:1, v /v) as a developing solution
The resulting separated fraction was dried using anhydrous magnesium sulfate,
and then the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Then the
resultant was dissolved in a deuterated chloroform and then the structure of
cymiazole was identified using 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra (see Fig. 3).
1) 1H NMR Spectrum (300 MHz, Varian NMR) (see Fig. 4)
1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 2.28(s, 3H, CH3), 2.31(s, 3H, CH3), 4.10(s, 3H, CH3), 6.67(d,
J=4.44.Hz, IH, 4-vinyl CH), 7.02-7.26(m, 3H, ArH), 7.28(d, J=4.44.Hz, IH, 4-vinyl
CH), 12.8 (br. s, IH, HCl salt).
2) i3C NMR Spectrum (75.5 MHz, Varian NMR) (see Fig. 5)
13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 17.41, 20.89, 37.70, 107.57, 126.31, 128.19, 131.98, 132.33,
134.18, 134.48, 139.28, 169.30.
3) Analysis Chart of cymiazole HCl
Beilstein test(+) : A sample was applied to a copper wire and performed a flame
reaction. The result showed the presence of a blue flame, which is a sign that it
contains chloride, a halogen atom, thus confirming it is present in the form of HCl
salt.
Test Example 5: Evaluation of the Effect of Bee Mite Control
The honey bees infected with bee mites were administrated with the raw
cymiazole and the feed prepared in Example 1, respectively, and their effect were
examined.
- test period : August 5, 2005 - end of August, 2005
- test place : bee farm in Singi-myeon, Samcheok-si, Gangwon-do, Korea
Eight bee hives, each with 3 honey bees, were used in the experiment. Four bee
hives were treated with cymiazole while the other four were treated with the feed
prepared in Example 1.
Cymiazole was administered by using a 500 mL of a culturing solution
containing 247 mg of cymiazole about 6 pm right before honey bees returned to their
bee hives.
The feed in Example 1 was prepared to have a shape of a flat rectangle with 1 kg
of weight containing 247 mg of cymiazole, respectively. The feed was given to honey
bees through the top of hives for about 2 weeks.
The control effect of the feed on bee mites was observed for 24 days at 3 day
intervals. The number of dead bee mites resulted from the treatment of the drug or
the feed prepared in Example 1, respectively, was counted a total of 8 times for 24
days at 3 day intervals starting from the above treatment. A white sheet was placed
on the bottom of each bee hive before counting.
The number of bee mites, which were not controlled by the treatment of the
drug itself or the feed prepared in Example 1, was counted by separating them from
honey bees by anesthesizing the honey bees by spraying them with about 100 mL of
ethyl ether for 5-10 minutes, followed by placing them into 95% ethanol (see Fig. 6).
[Table 6] Comparison of bee mites control effects between cymiazole and the feed of the present invention and behavior of honey bees therefrom (3 honey bees/ bee hive)
As stated above, the feed for controlling bee mites prepared according to the
present invention has advantages of having superior control effect applicable even
to young honey bees while capable of proliferation and nurture of honey bees.
Further, the drug for controlling bee mites is contained in the pollen feed to be
fed to honey bees. Therefore, it can prevent the bee farming products and bee hives
from being contaminated by the drug remaining after treatment of the drug. In
addition, the drug containing feed is fed to be evenly shared by honey bees thus
capable of preventing generation of drug resistance and saving labor work.
Finally, the feed is supplied along with pollen with good palatability. Therefore,
a certain amount of the drug can be continuously fed to honey bees thereby
improving the effect of controlling bee mites while reducing the stress that normally
resulted when an excessive amount of drug is used.
