What are the skills of Italian bees to control mites with young bees?

As follows:

In the early spring, the bees wintering in the prison king were released to breed and covered with mites, and new mites were hung 20 days later. If the acaricide is sprayed (generally not used because of the cold weather) and sprayed again two days later, it can kill the giant bee mite that overwinters with the bee colony.

Before autumn breeding, after Wang Fanggui 10 in early August, acaricide was sprayed once every three days for four times in a row. All bees and mites, large and small, hiding under the wax cover are always exposed and killed by spraying.

Ecological control

The offspring of big and small mites are nourished by the body fluids of bee larvae and protected by the wax cover of bee pupae, and reproduce synchronously with the bee colony. If bees stop producing infertile children, mites and mites will have no offspring.

The different biological characteristics of large and small bee mites are that large mites can absorb the body fluids of adult bees for nutrition and can parasitize on adult bees all the year round, while small bee mites can only survive on bees for about two days. Using this characteristic of the bee mite, the queen bee can be imprisoned to kill mites.
