Embodiment 1

[0020] deal with

[0021] Putting mysatin strips at the entrance of the colony or in the middle of the hive is effective against Varroa. No abnormal bee mortality was observed after the treatment with muscarinic acid.

Embodiment 2

[0024] Varroa mites were reduced by 91% or more after treatment with 10% muscarinic tape. Placing two strips of 10% muscarinum in the hives reduced the number of mites by as much as 97%.

[0025] No abnormal bee mortality was observed after treatment with musphos.

Embodiment 3

[0027] To evaluate the efficacy of five different products for the control of Varroa jacobsoni in bee colonies, a controlled efficacy trial was conducted in Clear Lake, South Dakota. Products tested included 10% fluvalinate strips, amitraz strips, permethrin strips, 5.0% muscarinic acid strips, and formic acid gel packs.

[0028] 120 colonies infected with Varroa were randomly divided into six groups of 20 colonies each. Five groups were treated with test products respectively, and the sixth group was not treated as control. Two strips are used in the cells of each colony. Formic acid gel packs are placed under the honeycomb roof. On the first day of treatment, sticky sheets were placed under each hive to collect dead mites.

Abstract

The invention discloses a process for combating parasitosis in bees, comprising providing a means for contacting the bees or their brood or habitat with an amount effective therefor of coumaphos which is in combination with a plastic material.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION: The present invention relates to methods of effectively placing coumaphos on honeycombs in contact with honeybees to control parasitic diseases caused by parasitic mites or predatory insects in bee colonies. More specifically, the present invention relates to the placement of muscarin through the use of effective instruments. [0002] Brief description of the prior art: It is known from the prior art that various pesticides can control the predatory mite Varroajacobsoni, but the properties of these pesticides and the effects that can be produced by the method of application limit the use of these pesticides. For example, US Patent No. 4,646,377 describes a method for controlling bees Varroa jacobsoni, which includes applying an effective amount of muscarin in a mixture to the bees or their habitat. US Patent No. 4,965,287 describes a method of controlling parasitic diseases in bees by applying parasiticides to bees, t...
