Abstract

Przedmiotem wynalazku jest metoda zwalczania warrozy w rodzinach pszczelich przy użyciu ramki ultradźwiękowej wyposażonej w moduł elektroniczny zawierający generator prądów wysokiej częstotliwości oraz pięć piezoelektrycznych głowic ultradźwiękowych. Urządzenie zasilane panelem fotowoltaicznym współpracującym z akumulatorem prądu stałego (12V), emituje fale akustyczne o częstotliwości około 15 Hz na poziomie głośności 105 dB, które są całkowicie bezpieczne dla pszczół. Generowane w ulu pole akustyczne wysokiej częstotliwości powoduje dysfunkcję aparatu szczęko - czułkowego warrozy, co utrudnia pobieranie pokarmu przez rozwijające się larwy warrozy w stadiach protonimfy i deuteronimfy. Likwidacja warrozy następuje we wczesnych stadiach jej rozwoju, zaś osłabione i martwe osobniki warrozy osypują się wraz z opuszczaniem komórki lęgowej przez młodą pszczołę. W odróżnieniu od stosowanych środków chemicznych opartych na pestycydach, ultradźwiękowa metoda zwalczania warrozy pozbawiona jest jakichkolwiek skutków ubocznych, dzięki czemu miód zachowuje swoje naturalne właściwości lecznicze i smakowe, zaś pszczoły pozostają w dobrej kondycji zdrowotnej.The subject of the invention is a method of combating varroosis in bee colonies using an ultrasonic frame equipped with an electronic module containing a high-frequency current generator and five piezoelectric ultrasonic heads. The device is powered by a photovoltaic panel cooperating with a DC battery (12V), emits acoustic waves with a frequency of about 15 Hz at a sound level of 105 dB, which are completely safe for bees. The high-frequency acoustic field generated in the hive causes dysfunction of the maxillofacial apparatus of varroosis, which makes it difficult for the developing varroa larvae to take food in the protonymph and deuteronymph stages. The elimination of varroa occurs in the early stages of its development, and the weakened and dead varroa individuals fall off when the young bee leaves the breeding cell. Unlike the pesticide-based chemicals used, the ultrasonic method of combating varroa has no side effects, thanks to which the honey retains its natural healing and taste properties, and the bees remain in good health.
