Embodiment Construction

[0015] The pymetrozine and compositions thereof of the present invention can be used to treat any bee species infested by parasites (e.g., bumble bee (Bombus genus), stone nest wasp (Pythia spp.), alfalfa leafcutter bee ) and honey bees (Apis genus)), of which these bees are particularly in need of treatment and protection.

[0016] The pymetrozine and compositions thereof of the present invention can be used to treat bees in any suitable manner, such as spraying the bees directly or treating the area around the hive. The pymetrozines and compositions thereof of the present invention are preferably used to treat bees or in or around their hives.

[0017] Thus, in a preferred aspect, the present invention provides the use of pymetrozine for reducing bee mite infestation in bees, preferably honeybees, bee colonies. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a composition for reducing the infestation of bees, preferably honeybees, bee colonies, comprising pymetroz...

Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of pymetrozine, and salts and compositions thereof, as a miticide, to methods and compositions comprising pymetrozine for the control of bee mites and for the reduction of bee mite infestations, such as the control and reduction of infestations of parasitic bee mites, such as Varroa destructor in bee, preferably honey bee, colonies, and to the treatment of varroatosis in bees.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of pymetrozine, its salts and compositions as an acaricide, to compositions comprising pymetrozine for controlling and reducing bee mite infestation (for example controlling and reducing infestation of parasitic wasp mite, such as bee mite Varroa destructor in swarms, and relates to the management of varroatosis in bees). Background technique [0002] Beekeeping is an important part of the agricultural industry, providing honey directly to the food market and also playing an important role in the pollination of other food crops. It is estimated that bees pollinate approximately one-third of food crops in the United States. The global value of pollination is estimated to be €153bios (Gallai et al. 2008). In 2006, for unknown reasons, a dramatic decline in bee colonies was observed in the United States, which was termed Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), where initial theories centered on pathogens, parasites, envi...
