Propolis against Varroa-

American foulbrood and Nosema

The use of propolis in hive, such as medicine, referred to herein, is the result of work and observation of a group Beekeepers General Alvear, Mendoza, several thousands of colonies from 1993 to date. A retrospective of work have emerged and field continue to do so, scientific research confirm what has been done. It is hoped that since the universities are working objectively to carry this category of scientific, not to discredit the experience to handle the sake of other purposes, such as, even in this 2006 -

is

.- While beekeepers General Alvear worked with raw propolis, is to remember that they had laboratory determinations and knew in advance the purity of the raw propolis. So, to successfully repeat this experience, you should always know the concentration of propolis and this comes from the extract soft or less practical, with laboratory tests .-

The task: Place the raw propolis in a bowl and add ethyl alcohol 96 °, always more alcohol than propolis, no matter much the quantities and / or proportions. Be used to make alcohols are, of liquor or pastries. Remember that most of the spirits of pharmacy, as they say their tags, are "FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY." This container with propolis and alcohol, which you can add 5% of distilled water, will be in a dark place and seek to move, shake and shake daily for at least two weeks. After this time the paper filters coffee filter. The resulting hydroalcoholic solution, which is of unknown concentration may be in the refrigerator so that it separates and is removed the excess wax dissolved in alcohol. The residue left in the filter has propolis and may do a second extraction .-

The solution obtained should go to the next step, the evaporation of alcohol. Be done with a stream of warm air just do not get to heat and destroy the product. This task is slow and may take several days depending on volume evaporate. When the level does not fall below, we think that there is no evaporation or alcohol to evaporate. Will this dye a honey-like consistency. If you tilt the bowl, not dumped, it slides slowly. This is the Soft Extract of propolis, from which we make all other preparations

.- The preparation of the therapeutic solution, one can speak of two recipes that are really one, since its minimum dose to Max. Soft Extract reassembled this solution in alcohol, 8.5% to 17%. For example, we use one liter Soft Extract 85 cc in 915 cc of alcohol, in the first case and 170 cc. Soft Extract in 830 cc of alcohol, for the latter. We will have the alcoholic solution, unlike the initial, known concentration.

This alcoholic solution is mixed with some kind of syrup. The syrup used is just a vehicle must be a sweet liquid, sugar, HFCS or better groups, but not too good concentration. Also as in the previous case a minimum and a maximum: the minimum 2% solution in 98% syrup. Maximum, 10% solution in 90% syrup. Example, for a liter on minimum of 20 cc of solution in 980 cc of syrup. For maximum, 100 cc of solution in 900 cc of syrup .-

The application is by spraying or sprinkling frames (no heads) and nurses. This ensures that when taken to clean, they distribute the rest of the hive. It should not be applied to feed, because it is too little and the bees do not like. Will be given 50 cc per hive once a week for three consecutive weeks in case of outbreak of any disease. According to whether or prevent and cure according to the intensity of the outbreak, use more or less concentration and heal one, three or more times. Is a criterion according to the state of hives or circumstances. It can be used in times of honey, nectar and pollen input or harvest, it does not pollute .-

in recommended doses have not been reported to alter the hive situations. no incentive position and a "lifted" general. It should be note that below the minimum dose and effects are not above the maximum can "reduce" or remove the position .-

counting varroa should do so from the second week, where not only The effect will be direct contact, but it emerges from propolis in the hemolymph of bees and brood, plus the defenses raised in the colony.
