BEE SERVICING METHOD Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: apiculture. SUBSTANCE: method involves carrying out prophylactic procedures and, when necessary, therapeutic procedures, as well as treating objects of apiculture with disinfectants; watering and feeding bees. Prophylactic therapeutic procedures are conducted with the usage of neutral anolyte produced by successively treating basic solution of sodium chloride with concentration of 0.2-5.0 g/l in cathodic and anodic chambers of diaphragm-type electrolyzer at power consumption of at least 1,000 C/l till pH value reaches 5.0-8.2, and oxidation-reduction potential +250 - +900 mV relative to chlorine silver comparison electrode. When prophylactic procedures are carried out, neutral anolyte is introduced into water for drinking and/or into feed, and/or bees and combs within beehive are treated with it. When therapeutic procedures are carried out, neutral anolyte is introduced into feed and/or it is used for treating bees and combs within beehive. Neutral anolyte is added into feed and/or water in an amount of 20-60% of total amount of feed for 1-3 weeks. Bees and combs within beehive are treated by atomized spraying in an amount of 15-20 ml per one frame 3-5 times per one procedure at periodicity of 5-6 days. During therapeutic procedures, bees are provided with potable water having salt content of 0.2-1.0 g/l and preliminarily treated in cathodic chamber of diaphragm-type electrolyzer until pH values reach 7.5-9.5 and oxidation-reduction potential reaches -250 - -550 mV relative to chlorine silver comparison electrode. Objects of apiculture are disinfected with neutral anolyte produced by treating basic solution of sodium chloride with concentration of 2.5-5.0 g/l. EFFECT: reduced labor consumption, decreased usage of preparations by employing means with general-purpose effect on microorganisms, and improved ecology control. 6 cl, 7 tbl, 6 ex
