DESCRIPTION

Composition and multifactorial and ecological procedure for the treatment of varroosis of honey bee colonies, with rapid application system, without the need to open the hive. 5

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the treatment sector to combat varroosis of honey bee colonies. 10

The main object of the present invention is a composition that facilitates the treatment of varroosis in colonies of honey bees, with a multiplicity of fronts of attack to the parasite, which prevent the emergence of resistance to treatments, with the use of natural substances , that do not leave residues in honey, without limitations of 15 times of employment, and applied to the hive without opening it, with the consequent saving of work.

Background of the invention
 twenty
At present there are many products made by different laboratories and companies for the treatment of varroosis of bees, being able to classify them into two groups, synthetic acaricides and ecological acaricides.

Synthesis Products 25

Basically, the presentation of acaricidal products is based on their incorporation into plastic strips of different composition in the manufacturing phase of the plastic strip, so that the active substance is contained inside the plastic, being released in different forms and times according to each commercial product, which in 30 cases makes it necessary to increase the dose of the active substance when part of it is retained in the plastic. The most commonly used active ingredients are, amitraz, coumafos and fluvalinate.

The application of these plastic strips is carried out by introducing them in the hives between the 35 breeding boxes, being necessary to extract them, once the period of effectiveness is finished to avoid, as far as possible, the appearance of resistance to the active principle used.

Most of the products marketed, recommend in their norms of use, the absence of breeding in the hives to obtain a high efficiency, at the present time there are no 100% effective acaricide products.

In general, acaricidal synthesis products have a high toxicity, so the application period is limited in time, and at times when there is no flow of nectar to the hive to avoid the presence of residues in honey.

Organic products

At present, oxalic acid is used for the treatment of varroosis of the 50 honey bees, there are two ways of application, one of them by sublimation
by heat of the acid, which generates toxic gases for the beekeeper, being necessary the use of protective masks of high efficiency. Another method of application is by dissolving it in sugary distilled water, so that the bees get wet, which causes a thermal descent of the breeding nest with the consequent damages for the cohesion of the hive's breeding nest. 5

As for thymol, it is used with gel supports that have a limited range of temperatures for its application, and can cause the bees to be expelled from the hive if used with high temperatures.
 10
Some compositions use cardboard strips or pieces of vermiculite as application vehicles.

One of the drawbacks presented by both synthetic and ecological acaricides is the large workforce to be used for its application, the opening of the hive being necessary. to be introduced inside, with all the conditions that this implies, ambient temperature, schedule, and especially as already said, work, both for its application and for its withdrawal, which taking into account the size of the farms beekeepers in Spain, with farms of 500, 1000, 2000, and up to 10,000 hives, represents a high labor cost. twenty

In any case, both synthetic acaricidal and ecological acaricidal products are currently used individually, which limits their effectiveness and encourages the emergence of resistance to products by varroa, which resolves the present application patent that presents a multifactorial approach to combat varroosis 25, with an easy, fast, economical and reusable application system.

Some of the products currently on the market are:

Explanation of the invention.

Composition and multifactorial and ecological procedure for the treatment of varroosis of honey bee colonies, with rapid application system, without the need to open the hive.

The present patent application refers to a multifactorial composition and procedure for the treatment of varroosis of the honey bee that contains a composition of several active ingredients simultaneously, with a rapid, economical, ecological and reusable application system. It is a composition that contains food grade fixing petrolatum, oxalic acid and thymol, in varying proportions to adapt it to use in different climatic zones and development phases of the honey bee colony, and that is applied to the hive by its extension , by means of a serrated device on a semi-rigid, plastic and waterproof support, of variable size 20 to adjust it to each type of hive, which in turn presents an escalation that facilitates the adjustment of the dose to the state of the hive and to the time of application , and that is introduced into the hive by the piquera. the support also being provided with a flange, of which a part is outside the hive, which facilitates the application of the treatment and its subsequent extraction and re-testing with the active composition when appropriate, 25 taking advantage of the composition fully, when applied on the waterproof support, being the bees themselves, when walking on the composition, and when they feel stimulated their cleaning instinct, by the composition itself, those that extend the composition throughout the hive, achieving 100% effectiveness and without the possibility of appearance of resistance to the treatment when presenting this a multiplicity of fronts of 30 attack to the parasite.

The food grade filament petrolatum, in addition to serving as an excipient, has an acaricidal effect, since the bees, when trying to eliminate the product, cover themselves with a thin layer of petroleum jelly, harmless to them, but which nevertheless obstructs the spiracles of the 35 parasite causing his death.

Oxalic acid has a proven acaricidal efficacy, however, the methods of application currently used have serious drawbacks, when used by sublimation it is necessary for the beekeeper to use high-end gas masks 40, in addition to having in the apiary the means for generating the electricity and heat necessary for its generation, while if it is used by wetting the bees, they are greatly affected by the acid exoskeleton, both systems having a reduced time of action and therefore limited effectiveness .
 Four. Five
Thymol, also marketed by some laboratories for the treatment of varroosis, and in the current situation and employment, presents a great aggressiveness for bees, causing in some cases the abandonment of the hive by bees.

By means of the method of employment object of this patent, the problems of the 50 employment separately of each one of the products used are eliminated, obtaining by another
There is a great synergy in its degree of effectiveness, as well as simple handling and without the need for special precautions for the beekeeper, except for the use of latex gloves.

The product object of this patent effectively solves the disadvantages of the 5 products used to date, with a wide range of use, both in the temporal aspect and in the state of biological development of the hive.

It also has a multiplicity of fronts of attack against the parasite, which raises its effectiveness practically to 100%, and what is more important, with a low cost, without generating resistance in the parasite and with an easy method of use, Fast, efficient and without disturbing the bees at all and without opening the hive.

It is therefore a new paradigm in the fight against varroosis of honey bees, based on the multifactorial attack of the parasite, and achieving synergies 15 unknown to date that lead to results far superior to all known and used methods of today, with a very low cost and with an ease of use that minimizes the work for its application, since being able to be supplied in a tube facilitates both the handling and the dosage of the composition.
 twenty
Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

The present invention presents two aspects in its embodiment, on the one hand the composition and on the other the support for its application.
 25
As for the composition, it will be manufactured by trained laboratories, and can be packaged in tubes for proper dosing as reflected in the claims, for subsequent commercialization and use by beekeepers.
 30
As for the carrier supports of the product, they will be manufactured by manufacturing and manufacturing companies of plastics.
