Friends of beekeepers know that because bees have passed through a winter, their physique is often weak, and when they reproduce in the spring of the coming year, they often encounter harsh conditions such as climate change, continuous rain and so on, which are easy to cause various diseases of bees. If you get sick, most of them appear in early spring, so for early spring, prevention is more important. Common friends who have raised bees have heard a saying, that is, adding citric acid to the feed of bees during spring breeding, so is there any benefit to adding citric acid to the feed of bees during spring breeding?
1. Prevention and treatment of bee protozoan diseases
In fact, citric acid has been mentioned in the control of many diseases of bees, such as bee microsporidiosis and bee amoeba. These two bee diseases are common protozoan diseases of bees, and these two bee diseases They all have one feature, that is, they have strong resistance to harsh environments, but they are very weak in acidic conditions and can be easily killed.
The pathogens of honeybee microsporidia and bee amoeba are both mainly infecting the digestive tract of bees, and our method of changing the acidic environment of the digestive tract of bees can not only directly prevent the breeding of pathogens, but also kill the pathogens in the digestive tract of bees. Bee protozoa are extremely prone to blooming in early spring conditions. From this point of view, adding citric acid to bee syrup in the spring makes some sense for bee protozoa.
2. Prevention and treatment of bee spiroplasmosis
The main symptoms of bee spiroplasmosis are abdominal distention, drooping wings, loss of flight ability, swelling of the hindgut and accumulation of a large amount of yellow feces, which are usually complicated with bee amoeba and bee microsporidia, and bee spiroplasmosis pathogens are also not. It is suitable to survive in acidic conditions, and bee microsporidiosis, bee amoeba and bee spiroplasmosis all have symptoms of crawling bees, so bee spiroplasmosis is generally referred to as crawling in bee spiroplasmosis Bee diseases, and citric acid has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on these diseases. From this point of view, it is reasonable for us beekeepers to add citric acid to the syrup when feeding bees in the early spring.
3. Citric acid is the nemesis of crawling bee disease
In fact, the three bee diseases we mentioned above all have the phenomenon of bee crawling. Without a clear diagnosis, it is difficult to find the cause of bee crawling disease. Although citric acid has a certain preventive and therapeutic effect on some of our common crawling diseases, not all crawling diseases can be solved. Phenomenon, obviously it is wrong for us to use citric acid to treat these diseases. It just means that for early spring, the probability of crawling bee disease caused by the three diseases mentioned above is relatively high. From a high probability, such prevention is very good.
Therefore, proper feeding of citric acid is a good choice for the prevention and treatment of the above-mentioned bee diseases.
