For many years I have successfully used the only extract of sage, or more precisely lat.salvije oficinalis (there are many types of sage). After 7 years I have enriched extract of the plant components lat. satureja montana.Satureja montana or heath-bell. Both plants have highly antibacterial effect.In this combination effectively neutralize and Nosema Ceranae and varroa mites.
I am not produced medicine, in addition to their own needs and for friends, and I will therefore pass the recipe is simple and acceptable to all beekeepers.
Buy the alcohol, water and plants described. Mixed herbs and add after alcohol and water.
Drug store
In larger bowl 12 to 15 liters Pour and add:
1. Alcohol 96% ............................................................................5 liters
2. Distilled water......................................................................... 5 liters
3. (Salvius oficinalis) divided........................................................1 kg.
4. (Satureja montana) divided.......................................................0.3 kg
Match and holds 7-10 days, after which the extract and holds up to use.
Extract of preparing each year in the fall and spring MUST, and use it as prevention.
IT IS EXTRACT.
Add it to the syrup and 0.5 to 1 liter to 50 liter of sugarsyrup.
IT IS MEDECINAL SYRUP
Every beecompany in the fall (until the end of September) to obtain the 3 liters of medicinal syrups.
Syrup preparing for the fall in the combined 5-3 (sugar: water) or 50 kg of sugar add 30 liters of hot water (40 *Celsius).This should be quick and well mixed while still hot to all the sugar melted.
I do this in a plastic container(60 liters) on which I installed tap.
And while it's still hot syrup add 1 liter of extract and mixed well. This is a fall of concentration, which showed excellent results.
While the syrup 30*C add it to the feeder every night for 1 liter.
It is essential that every beecommunity gets the 3 liters of medicinal syrups.If a beecommunity is missing and 7-8 kg of food,free to add it to 7-8 liters of medicinal syrups.
IN Spring again as the prevention using medicinal syrup prepared in relation to other sugar: water where now add 0.5 liters extract to 50 liters of sugar syrup.
Every beesociety gets the 3 liters of syrup or twice a week-week, half-liter.So three weeks after is,1 liter.
If you add a beesociety that had no food and a much larger quantity of this medicinal syrup, the bees will be happy to take and not anything wrong.
If you do this you will not have affected beesocieties and if you already have a beesociety suffering from Nosema Ceranae and again in the spring you see signs Nosema Ceranae sprayed it is necessary as I already mentioned the whole beecommunity with the diluted extract(with water) solution.
This is the first time to publicly declare my complete, simple and extremely effective way to fight Nosema Ceranae and varroa mites and warmly recommend it to all beekeepers.
I hope that someone would be useful to the post-memo-text published in the journal Beekeeper, so time to present and other beekeepers.Especially if we know that the Internet is not available a vast number of beekeepers.
