How To Prevent Italian Bee Chalk Disease?
1) The beehive site should be located in a place with high terrain, no water accumulation, and good ventilation, and the beehive should be raised by more than 20cm.
2) The beehive should be tight without gaps.
3) When the temperature is low in spring, the bee colony should be kept warm to prevent the larvae from freezing.
4) When feeding pollen feed, the pollen feed must be sterilized, and can be sterilized by steam (15 minutes with steam) or microwave (3 minutes with medium heat)
5) Sufficient feed should be reserved at any time in the colony to ensure the normal nutritional needs of the bees.
6) When feeding sugar syrup in spring, the ratio of sugar to water should be above 1:1.2.
7) Do a good job in the disinfection of the site, beehives and beehives.
8) When the bee colony enters the spring and there is a lot of rain and humidity outside, once there are insect corpses dragged out of the beehive, immediately use drugs to control them. Stop the drug immediately after the pests in the bee colony disappear.
How to Get Rid of Chalk Disease
1. Replace all the pest spleens and powder honey spleens in the bee colony with clean honeycombs, and strictly disinfect them. The specific method is to use 3-5g of sulfur for every 10 frame nests to smoke for more than 4 hours.
2. During spring reproduction, evenly sprinkle a layer of salt on the inner side of the nest door or the bottom of the beehive, and use the bees to spread the salt all over the hive for sterilization
