Girls VarroaSTOP
"Biological, elegant, efficient."
The basic idea:
The non-breeding periods outside winter are always problematic for Varroa mites. They lose their reproductive ability relatively quickly. This natural defense system with brutal phases uses wild bee colonies effectively in swarming. The swarm of bees is only weakly infested, the swarmed people are in a long, brut-free phase. The mites over-age or get lost with the old bees.
Locking the queen into small cages during the bee season, followed by chemical treatment, is a well-known method of enforcing non-breeding phases during the season. However, some queen loses her acceptance in the bee colony.
On the other hand, the open bee brood acts like a magnet on Varroa mites. Therefore, biotechnical methods, such as the sponge honeycomb method, can be used successfully to decimate the Varroa population in the bee colony. Covered brood combs, however, in which only a part of the cells are actually parasitized, must be removed and destroyed.
The newly developed Jenter VarroaSTOP combines both systems in an elegant way, without the need for chemical control procedures or the destruction of whole brood combs.
The principle of operation:
The range of action of the queen in the Jenter VarroaSTOP is limited to a small, one-sidedly incubated cell area with about 250 brood cells. The queen lives stress-free with her court and the brood in the cage. The nurse bees can pass through the cage from both sides and maintain this brood unhindered. The Varroa mites use this last breeding area in the people for the planned multiplication.
After all cells have been capped, the back wall of the Jenter VarroaSTOP with the brood cells attached is removed and immediately replaced with a new rear wall with center wall. The queen stays in the cage for another breeding cycle. The extracted brood is destroyed. Alternatively, the cells may be decapitated and washed out for the next use of the honeycomb piece.
Only when all the brood hatched in the bee colony and the last mites are trapped in the covered brood area of the Jenter VarroaSTOP, the queen is released through the removable lid on the front of the Jenter VarroaSTOP, or replaced by a young queen. The honeycomb with the Jenter VarroaSTOP can be left for future use in the people.
The result:
The Jenter VarroaSTOP can be easily installed in a frame. The thickness of the honeycomb does not change. It must therefore be removed in contrast to the honeycomb pockets no honeycomb.
The queen can create brood in phases and thus retains its attractiveness in the bee colony.
The Varroa mites are almost completely removed from the people by multiple broods. The use of chemical treatment agents can be dispensed with.
