Abstract
The article presents the results of feeding (by the method of syringing onto bees) bipin at a concentration of 0.00625% with sugar syrup at the beginning of wintering at the rate of 10 mL per seam of bees twice with an interval of 24 h. The effectiveness of the treatment was determined by the method of visual examination of each individual of the bee colony after their introduction into torpor. It is proposed to carry out acaricidal treatment at the beginning of wintering, when bees stop flying out of the hive and there will be no transmission of mites in the apiary. Based on the nature of varroa mite residue in seams of bees, it was proposed to improve the method of sampling for varroosis in the apiary: we recommend that only live bees be selected for research from each seam from the edge to the middle of the nest.
