A dispenser for receiving and evaporating a liquid formic acid preparation for combatting varroa mites in a bee hive, the dispenser including an evaporation surface, an evaporation container; a storage container connected to the evaporation container and sealed from the outside in a vapour-tight manner for storing an entire treatment dose of the liquid formic acid preparation; a closable liquid-conducting connection between the storage container and the evaporation container for transferring the liquid formic acid preparation from the storage container to the evaporation container; wherein the evaporation surface is a gas-permeable, fine-pored membrane with a solid content of less than 70% and continuous, exclusively gas-filled pores with a width of between 10 nm and 1000 nm as part of an outer boundary of the evaporation container, the membrane impermeable to liquid mixtures of formic acid and water and liquid-tight under the dynamic pressure of the liquid formic acid preparation.

The invention relates to the technical field of biological prevention and control of pests, in particular to a breeding method of natural enemy insects, and particularly relates to a prevention and control method of a bee colony juvenile beauty disease, which comprises the following steps: filling a mixed solution of a cinnamon leaf aqueous solution and an oxytetracycline aqueous solution into a sprayer, and spraying to a sick bee colony until the body surfaces of larvae are wet without dripping water. According to the scheme, the mixed solution of the cinnamon leaves and the oxytetracycline has a good prevention and treatment effect on the meloidosis of the wasp colony, the loss caused by diseases to the wasp colony can be greatly retrieved, the success rate of the primary wasp colony can be greatly increased, and the mixed solution has small side effects on wasps and is low in cost.

A beehive accessory (1) for parasite control, comprising a frame (11) and an inner surface (12), the frame forming the stacking element of the accessory on a beehive super, and the inner surface (12) forming a habitat support for predators of bee parasites. It is particularly used to accommodate the natural habitat of pseudoscorpions for Varroa mite control.

The application discloses application of Frischella perrara in large Varroa mite control, and belongs to the technical field of large Varroa mite control in western honeybee breeding. The inventors have found that the change of the abundance of Frischella perrara can affect the olfactory ability of bees. Therefore, the application changes the abundance of Frischella perrara in the intestines of bees by an exogenous addition mode, improves the olfactory ability of bees, improves the health behavior of bees, improves the ability of bees to clean large Varroa mites, and controls the parasitic rate of large Varroa mites within a safe range. The bacteria used in the application are inherent probiotics in the intestines of bees, are non-toxic and harmless to bees, have no influence on the safety of bee products, and have no environmental pollution, which cannot be realized by current mite-killing drugs. The application provides important technical support for realizing healthy breeding of bees and production of green and organic bee products.

The present invention relates to a method for combating animal pest infections and / or infestations on bees and in the beehive by applying an animal pest marking agent and thereby marking the animal pest in such a way that they are detected and successfully combated by the bees in a defensive response. Particularly, the method relates to combating mite infestations, like infestations with the Varroa mite, the mite Acarapis woodi, or other mites. The invention further relates to a method for the production of the animal pest marking agent and the use thereof for the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of bees against animal pest infestations, like infestation with the Varroa mite.

A hive arrangement for varroa mite control comprises a brood box and a base, with a drawer cabinet stacked therebetween. The cabinet defines a side opening housing a removable drawer that includes a vertically open frame defining a vertical entrance passageway through which bees pass during hive ingress and egress. One or more strips of artificial drone comb are mounted within the frame and positioned to intercept varroa mites prior to their entry into the brood box. The drawer is accessible from outside the hive, allowing for non-intrusive replacement or cleaning. The system may include pheromone-treated combs to enhance mite attraction and support passive, chemical-free management of infestation levels.

Provided is a composition comprising a miticidal ingredient and an adjuvant and methods of using the composition for mite control in honey bee colonies.

This disclosure relates to the inventive concept of a pesticide / miticide / acaricide delivery device, Varr-Gate technology, that is touch-responsive and can precisely deliver miticide formulation in aqueous or viscous form directly targeting Varroa mites on the body of honeybees as they enter the hive. In particular aspects, the inventive concept provides a touch-responsive miticidal delivery device, wherein the device is a plastic structure comprising of hollow microtubular bristles hanging from the ceiling of the entrance tunnel comprising a liquid miticide droplet composition comprising NoPest-Ag5 in aqueous or viscous form and derivatives having pesticidal utility against Varroa mites, and pathogenic bee microbes such as viruses, bacteria and fungi, methods to produce such system, miticidal compositions containing such molecules, and processes of using such miticidal compositions against such pests and microbes. The device in combination with such miticidal compositions may be used to manage honeybee colonies against such pests and microbes.

Devices and methods for the control of pests using the vapors of a pesticidal and / or pest control composition are disclosed. Compositions, devices and methods for the selective control of pests while not harming one or more beneficial insects are also disclosed. In some embodiments, the pests are bed bugs, fleas, lice, ticks, or the like. In some embodiments, the pests are varroa mites and the beneficial insects are honey bees.

The invention belongs to the technical field of bee breeding, and particularly relates to a bee mite parasitism rate detection device which comprises a sealing cover detachably installed at the top end of a beehive, a plurality of evenly-arranged bee collecting and detecting mechanisms are fixedly connected to the top wall of the sealing cover, a controller is fixedly connected to the top end of the outer portion of the sealing cover, and the bee collecting and detecting mechanisms are electrically connected with the controller; the bee collecting and detecting mechanism comprises a bee collecting box, the bee collecting box is fixedly connected with the top wall of the sealing cover, the bottom end of the bee collecting box is detachably connected with a bee mite collecting part, a bee inlet mechanism is arranged on one side wall of the bee collecting box, and the outlet end of the bee inlet mechanism is located in the bee collecting box; a cleaning mechanism is arranged on the upper portion in the bee collecting box, and the bee feeding mechanism, the reagent adding mechanism and the ventilation mechanism are electrically connected with the controller. According to the method, the bee mite infection rate of the bee colony can be efficiently and accurately detected, and the bee mite infection condition of the whole bee colony can be accurately reflected.
