APIVOX PROJECT. The results of almost a year of researches
have led us to a very important conclusion. Recommendations to immediately
treat bees' colonies from Varroa mites, when control of free fall of the mites
per day showed danderous volumes, are not correct in a lot of situations.
Everything suggests that you should not rush into such treatment. The fact is,
that the mites can live from 27 days to three months ... And the death of the
mites can occur on any of these days in the range of 60 days. Naturally, there
are coincidences when the mites from different age groups can die at the same time
.. And those who are 30 days old, and those who are 60 days old, and those who
have lived up to 90 days. This naturally creates peaks of "free
fall", which may have values , according to which, "scientists"
say, it is urgently needed to treat bees with acaricidal preparations .... But
this not so! After such a fall, a significant decrement in the amount of
falling mites can occur ! Only longer monitoring can show the true amount of
Varroa mites falling daily on sticky board. Wait for a few days. Average the
results of the fall of mites during 10-12 days and if you will receive
confirmation of this dangerous size, then you can confidently treat your bees.
But usually, this is not so ... and most likely you need not to treat your bees
... The amount of free fall of the mites is not stable, and depends on many
factors ... And the main thing is the mites' birth rate, which was about 2
months ago .... After all, all mites which were born, will die ! No one in this
world is immortal! Exists a lot of other factors... But the main idea is, that
the mortality and free fall of the mites is not stable in time process and have
its peaks and hollows... And this should be taken into account !
