Therapeutic Efficacy of Phytopreparation for the Prevention and Treatment of Varroosis and Nosemosis of Honey Bees in Western Kazakhstan

Bee diseases significantly hinder the development of the beekeeping industry and reduce its profitability.The use of various chemical origin preparations for treating bee diseases ensures that the infestation of bee colonies is kept to a minimum.However, the preparations have a negative impact on the bee body and contaminate bee products.Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of a new phytopreparation in the conditions of West Kazakhstan region.The phytopreparation was developed using medicinal plants native to the Republic of Kazakhstan.The therapeutic dose of phytopreparation (10 and 15mL/1L of 20% and 50% sugar syrup) was established using the laboratory method of dosed feeding.The research and production experiment demonstrated that the phytopreparation exhibits a pronounced anti-varroosis and anti-nosemosis effect.In the treatment of varroosis, the intensity of invasion is reduced to a safe level when used by the method of feeding at a dose of 10-15mL/1L sugar syrup in the spring period, the therapeutic efficiency is 86-85.7%,when irrigated in the specified doses -84.3-85%.In the treatment of nosemosis, the preparation's effectiveness reaches 100%.The preparation can also be used for complex treatments and systematic therapeutic and preventive protection of bee colonies, as well as to stimulate the development of healthy bee colonies, an increasing their productivity.
