MANAGEMENT
BEE
?
Do we have IDEAL bee?
What we mean with ideal?
high honey yeald
kindness
no swarming
immovable on combs
colony development
disease resistence
Is this ideal bee at home or
elsewhere ?
!
?
Let us select ideal bees at home
by good properties
Good properties:
high honey yeald kg
kindness points
no swarming points
immovable points
colony development points
disease resistence HYG, BIM, BAR, MSR,
...vitality
Are there the good properties
heritable?
Heritability
0 ………………………..1 = 100%
0,2........................Yeald
0,6.....................Kindness
0,9................Cubital index
0,??...........Disease resistance

Never-ending story: selection
HIVE
is the part of honeybee superorganism
the material plays important role in
• homeostasis (temperature, humidity, gas exchange)
• information transfer
in the colony
see Tautz (2006)
HIVE
(+ frames, combs)
must be made from natural material:
wood, wax, propolis
not from plastics etc.
FEEDING
Risc analysis: problem of sirups
• for customers - honey adulteration
• for bees - ballast load, stress

FEEDING
Recommendation:
• harvest less than 100 % honey yield
• use white sugar for feeding bees
DISEASE CONTROL
?
Diseases are fully natural part of the ecosystems...
What is our actual situation in Europe
in the 21st century?
Man moreover moves organisms
among very distant ecosystems
Bees in the nature reside
separately
At the beekeeping we
possess many bee
colonies together
Technical factors and various
chemical substances reduce
immunity of colonies.
Beekeeper may in time recognize and
heal (some) diseases.
But the management is considerably different at hobby
beekeepers and at professional beekeepers.
What is the DISEASE ?
manifestation of clinical symptoms
DISEASE CONTROL
Reduce chemotherapy
DISEASE CONTROL
Increase immunity of bees
Decrease infection pressure
DISEASE CONTROL
Increase immunity
• by good feeding
• increase abundance (reduce too large apiaries)
• young queen bees
• ... (Good Beekeepers Practice)
DISEASE CONTROL
Decrease infection pressure
• keep clean apiaries
HYGIENE
?
HYGIENE
Results of extension works:
low level of hygiene at (some) apiaries
HYGIENE
Results of extension works:
low level of hygiene at (some) apiaries
Results of laboratory monitoring:
high level of infectious agents
Early diagnostic from debris:
occurrence of Paenibacillus larvae ??
Do it in co-operation with lab:
• Collect samles of bottom debris
• Send to laboratory
• Manage ....
