Melipona ATTACK

During the winter most accurate on June 20 began melipones attacks causing loss of hives.

TOTAL DECLARED LOST COLONY: 1,234
COLONY
Todos los ataques se dieron en zona con distintas características (montes altos, montes bajos y colonias) en situaciones diferentes (con alimentación, sin alimentación, con guarda piquero y poncho). Lo que coincide que estos ataque se dan cuando se eleva la temperatura y en proximidad a un cambio de clima (de frío a calor).




Modo de ataque: Los ataques que se observaron se produjeron durante los días calidos del invierno. Las meliponas se reúnen en un gran enjambre en continuo movimiento y luego ingresan en masa al apiario. El propósito es: el saqueo de los alimentos (miel y polen). Durante este suceso se da la liberación de una secreción de un olor característico. This results in the colonies attacked: disorganization and confusion, prompting aggressive behavior, leading to confrontation between bees and melipones (may last several hours) participating in this pillage other wasps. It was proved during this period that the methods commonly used in rational beekeeping were not effective to stop the attack (smoke, air freshener, reduced entrances and ponchos. It comes after the leak of the colony as well as high mortality ( both queens and workers and to a lesser extent the melipones).
escaped swarms are hung on trees in an apiary may meet four or five swarms making it impossible to rescue them.
Note:

Possessing little information on such incidents are resolved as a measure of control:
• During the attacks: The transfer of survivors to another apiary hives. Preventive
• Control: Using homemade traps were placed on different baits near the apiary. Homemade Traps

: The aim of these traps is the elimination of scouts and foragers in order to prevent attacks.
At first they used plastic bottles with holes and baits.
The preventive method was successful in apiaries where he received a considerable increase presence Melipona that could lead to a future attack.
The trap was subsequently used: a box 24 cm by 17 cm with a sliding lid and small holes (4 mm or so) so that they can only enter the aggressor (Melipona). It contains within it a container which is placed a bait.
The bait was the most widely accepted syrup containing sugar + honey + DEVELOPER L + Venom (cypermethrin).
The trap must be in an accessible and secure because of the presence of animals.
The poison must be changed every 9 days, which is what takes the power of cypermethrin.
We could see the interest of the melipona by the water so these traps also gave good results.

Precautions: box traps must secure the lid, it locks. In case of animal fencing should be placed to guard them (such as foxes and weasels) who are attracted to them.
These traps can be taken as a useful resource for the prevention but do not have enough evidence to enable a final solution to this new problem.

Pros And Cons Dried Mango

JJCastelli

On 31 October, 1 , 2 and 3 November in VI Juan José Castelli were measured temperatures of 40 º c and 41 º c which triggers the melting of hives. This phenomenon occurred in hives whose roofs are painted in colors such as dark green, orange and some do paint being the least affected the white color of which 1 or 2 frames which had reserves of honey is melted but lower the damage, the affected apiaries were mostly in the shade of black locusts, mistol. Also note that water sources were between 700 and 800 meters had to make several trips thus wasting and death of bees is greater, plus the large number of birds and to stop the queen's position due to high temperatures not no renewal of bees. The hive enters an imbalance which makes it impossible to control the temperature. Furthermore
apiaries where the facts are established apiaries 8 or 10 years ago, but due to the drought the trees did not sprout so some hives were exposed the sun. Below is a list of affected producers.
Recommendations:

white paint

hives in the apiary have water

If the shade is insufficient add

Keep carton low Varroa


not multiply hives
economic
Water reservoirs: in Figure 1 is a resistance in the earth pit lined bag silo where water is discharged and cover for animals not taken (livestock).
Figure 2 is also a reservoir of water whose base is a platform cut in half by two boards together which determines the desired width of the shelf this has the advantage of Once installed transport it tergopol placed to avoid killing bees. the downside is that if there is no water rodents and break the drill can be patched but remain weak.
