To which order does the fireball belong? Bee moth or large wax moth is the worst enemy of the beekeeper and the strongest healer against tuberculosis. The use of wax moth. Wax moth larvae. About growing moths for sale

How to grow a wax moth and how to deal with it correctly - all these issues are discussed in detail. Are given folk recipes and methods and all known scientific facts.

Among all bee pests that can live in a hive, the wax moth is considered the largest. In another way, this moth is called a bee moth. In nature, there is a moth butterfly, a jug moth, a boxwood moth, and so on. A species wax moth There are two - large and small. The main harm, moreover, is caused by the first of them. How to deal with it was invented many years ago, and most folk methods used today.

Small and large - all the differences

Small wax moth is almost not dangerous for the hive. This butterfly, despite the ability to develop in combs, usually lays its eggs in the crevices of the hive.

Hive not sealed

Some beekeepers advise sealing all walls on each hive. In reality, they do this only if there is an anthill nearby: bees will not be able to protect themselves from ants. And every spring, when buds bloom on the trees, raw materials are collected for the manufacture of propolis. With it, the bees seal the hive themselves, and they do it well.

Propolis is a very caustic substance that people use as an antibiotic.

Sometimes the larvae of the small moth are still found in the combs. But basically this is typical only for a large bee moth. It is this enemy of bees that people seek to prevent from bee colonies in order to protect them from a decrease in numbers. There is no need to talk about complete extinction, but one should not forget about a decrease in productivity.

Does it happen like this...

In the 19th century in the USA, they fought with wax moth like this: they came up with various trap designs through which the moth could not get into the entrance.

Hive entrance

Even a hive with a conical bottom was patented: it was understood that all the caterpillars sooner or later fall to the bottom, but they will not be able to return to the honeycombs. Among the simpler methods, the placement of traps is known:

  1. At night, flat saucers filled with syrup and vinegar (5 to 1) are placed near the hives;
  2. By morning, dozens of moths are found on the ground.

It is clear that the vinegar needed is not apple or grape.

From all this, two conclusions follow:

  1. The fireworm enters the hive through the notch;
  2. Many substances in this butterfly cause intoxication. These include acetic acid, sulfur and table salt.

Frames with wax honeycombs are sprayed with saturated brine. And in the spring, the bees are given salted water to drink. Concentration - 5-6 grams per liter.

Aromatic oils can be added to the saline spray solution: 3-5 drops of geranium, mint, thyme, etc. oils. And then before installation it is desirable to wash each frame.

Modern methods of struggle

All methods are divided into three main classes: prevention, hive processing, frame processing. It does not cover how to store wax dryness, as well as frames with bee bread.

Homemade storage cabinet

The main thing you need to know is that moths are afraid of drafts, and frames should be stored in ventilated cabinets. And honeycombs with bee bread are dried before storage. Which is no longer connected with moths, but with mold.

Prevention measures

The wax moth will breed in those hives where the number of frames does not correspond to the strength of the family, that is, the number of individuals. A nursery of moth larvae is a frame that has not been inhabited by bees. A number of tips follow from this:

  • Situations should not be allowed in which even one empty frame remains in the space of the hive for a long time;
  • Storage of sushi stocks in beehives - The best way breed wax moth in 1-2 months.

Other enemies of bees, such as ants, do not use empty frames in any way.

The development from the egg stage to the butterfly in the bee moth takes 35-40 days. A larva with 8 legs is a completely viable individual that can even feed on wax.

The problem is that one larva damages dozens of cells in combs. And one female lays up to 3000 eggs.

The ideal space for the development of moth larvae is a cut in the upper crossbar of the frame. Tip: the depth of cut should not exceed 2 mm.

Every year you need to cull all the affected cells. Honey is expelled from them, bee bread granules are removed, and the remaining dry land is immediately melted. Many believe that bees and moths form a symbiosis. In reality, this is not the case:

  • One individual moth during its development destroys too many cells. And they are filled with honey, marketable bee bread or brood.
  • It has not been proven, but it is possible that the butterfly moth is a carrier of bee infections.

There is evidence that the larvae die at +7° C. But the standard processing method is cooling down to -10° C.

Rubbish, crumbs, etc. must be periodically removed from the corners of the hive. It will not be difficult if the bottom is retractable. By the way, bee bread granules cannot be cooled even to -1 ° C. And bee brood dies at +20 - + 25 ° C (from hypothermia).

Frame processing

If moth moves are detected, the frame must be treated with chemistry or frozen. simple method there will be a frost down to -10 ° C. From this, the perga will become unusable and the brood will die. The main thing is to avoid sudden temperature changes.

hive frames

The chemical method looks safer:

  1. Evaporation of some acids (oxalic, citric, acetic) will be detrimental to pests. The higher the concentration, the better.
  2. All processed frames are placed in a closed container. A saucer with acid is placed at the bottom, etc.

By the way, organic acids corrode the metal.

Acid vapors can be replaced with sulfur dioxide: sulfur is burned in a closed container. The dosage will be 50-150 grams per cubic meter, and the exposure time is two days. Sulfur must be melted and soaked in strips of fabric. It is impossible to ignite this substance in another way.

For frames with brood, the sulfur method is not suitable. The treatment itself is best done 2 or 3 times with an interval of 5-7 days.

When the number of processed frames is small, the treatment is carried out with a saline solution. It is recommended to add aromatic oils to it. This method has already been covered, but there is another way:

  1. Buy plates impregnated with a special substance;
  2. Frames with plates are placed in a sealed plastic bag;
  3. At large numbers frames use airtight storage;
  4. For 10-12 frames, one plate (150 * 50 mm) is consumed.

The downside is that the exposure time is 45 days.

Before storage

The last of the methods discussed in the previous chapter is only suitable for processing in the fall: negative factor there will be a holding time. But in principle, before storage, you can use any of the processing methods. Here is one of them:

  1. Frames without bees should be soaked in water for 16-20 hours;
  2. Then the frames are dried in the shade, but the water is first pumped out on a honey extractor.

There will be a minus: the bee brood will die.

These hermetic "lids" are above the bee bread and above the honey. The brood is closed to others, more thin layer zabrus.

There are always holes in the layer above the brood. And water, air, and also sulfur oxide can penetrate through them.

Hive processing

Let's say that too many frames in one hive are affected by moths. They can be processed one by one, in groups, etc. Methods for processing the entire hive are also known:

  1. First, you need to clean the bottom of litter and larvae;
  2. The hive and frames are treated with an 80% solution of acetic acid.

Gas disinfection can be carried out too. But it is carried out under the supervision of a veterinary service.

Inside the hive, after processing, a 2-layer gauze bag with thymol is suspended. True, it must be removed when the temperature rises to 26 ° C.

protective barrier

None of the methods discussed above reduce the likelihood reappearance pests. But you can use scarers and traps:

  • A bag of thymol (see above);
  • Dry mint leaves, twigs of wormwood or wild rosemary;
  • Geraniums, hops, peppermint should grow near the hives.

"Night traps" are saucers with syrup and vinegar, or with a solution of bee bread, honey and yeast. In the second case, the mole will sink in water.

As experienced beekeepers say, the bottom of each hive should be cleaned once every 7 days.

About growing moths for sale

Many people think that breeding and raising wax moths is a very simple matter. All you need is to collect all the unnecessary dry land and place it in a jar in which 5-6 butterflies are planted.

Great wax moth (female)

In reality, it is better to use an unnecessary hive, which is placed in the attic. And it is better if empty dry land alternates with honeycombs. You can also use top dressing:

  • Corn or wheat flour;
  • Powdered milk;
  • Water, glycerin, yeast.

The best temperature for the development of moth larvae is 25 ° C. And most importantly, what is needed high humidity equal to 80%.

Tinctures and various extracts are prepared only from the larvae. And they say that the wax moth that hatched in the hive with bees will be more useful. So you can sacrifice one real hive, as well as an unnecessary bee colony. By the way, when the larvae hatch, they must be sorted by size.

A bee family can be drone, defective, infected with varroatosis ... This will not affect the quality of the larvae in any way.

The larvae and caterpillars of the bee moth can feed on polyethylene. More precisely, they dissolve it using some unknown substance. Even dead larvae have this property. In general, these insects are not eaten by either birds or amphibians. The reason is the presence of ethylene glycol.

Only scientific facts

Any natural enemy of bees will always have a higher survival rate than the bees themselves. This is especially true for breeding.

Printed brood in comb

Bee brood can be overheated by bringing the temperature up to 38° C. And moth brood can be exterminated only by heating to 46° C, and within one to two hours. The critical low temperature will be -7° C, but frames must be kept at this temperature for 4 hours.

Three more intervals are listed below:

  1. When the temperature does not exceed +18°, and also exceeds +38°, the egg goes into conservation;
  2. Larvae will not hatch from eggs at T = +38° - +46° C;
  3. At T = +38°, the laying almost stops.

It must be remembered that wax can melt at T = 62-63° C. However, the tendency to collapse is characteristic of the +55° and above range. And that means that moth larvae can be killed by heating up to + 49 ° - + 54 ° C for an hour. But caution is needed ...

A large wax moth often lays in the slots made in the frame from the inside. Moreover, we are talking only about the upper crossbar. To counteract this, the slot is not made very large - up to 2 mm deep.

Slit in the top bar

But if the frame is large enough, the foundation will not hold well.

An infected hive is treated with a gas called phosphine. This gas is poisonous to both bees and humans. After processing, the hive is aired for 48 hours. And honey, which was within the framework during processing, will not be considered food. By the way, this applies to all bee products.

The biological enemy of the wax moth is the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. It is harmless to bees and honey. The bacterium can destroy even young larvae. However, in practice, the biological method of control is not used. Wasps also belong to natural moth fighters, but not all species. Desired view lives in Australia.

Various cases from practice

If a frame affected by a moth is held for 2-3 minutes in the sun, the larvae will jump out and die. And yet, as experience shows, the bee moth is afraid not only of organic acids, but in general of any pungent odors. There was a method of processing frames with acetone, or rather, its fumes. For 40 medium-sized frames, 100 ml of acetone is consumed, which evaporates from the fabric.

Wormwood is not the only plant with a pungent odor. Here are some examples: marigolds, garlic juice, tobacco…

Marigolds, they are marigolds

Tobacco leaves should be cut as soon as it blooms. And the frames themselves are treated with garlic.

The bee moth will feed on the wax anyway. But she will not be able to bring down the honeycombs - beekeepers do not know about such facts. And the danger is that you have to remove the frame. Or, even worse, remove the family from the hive.

In a properly designed hive that matches the strength of the family, bee moths can appear. But her appearance will not be fatal. From this we can conclude that the traps installed in front of the entrance are useless. By the way, during gas treatment, the entrance is closed, and the hive is checked for tightness.

Cultivated plants are constantly attacked by pests. The most common pest on earth is the moth. Moths are a type of moth, which are rightfully considered a dangerous pest. There are many types of moths and they all have their own characteristics and taste preferences. How to deal with this pest and protect the crop from destruction?

Fireflies are a big family


Firefly can be found in all corners of the earth - both in warm and cold climates. Hundreds of species of moths live on the territory of Russia. But only some of them pose a particular danger to agriculture.

The life span of a butterfly is 3 months. Each moth lays up to hundreds of eggs per season.

Harm

The main number of moth species is considered a particularly dangerous pest. They are notable for populating granaries, food warehouses, elevators and destroying stocks. fruit crops, grains, cereals.


A number of moths settle in warehouses and infect confectionery, flour, and dried fruits. Having settled in shops and warehouses, moths can cause multimillion-dollar losses. Therefore, at the first sign of the appearance of a moth, it is necessary to take all measures to destroy it.

mill fire

Arrived in Russia from India and spread everywhere. It mainly settles in mills, flour mills, bakeries and other places where grain is processed. Eats:

  • flour products,
  • grain,
  • groats,
  • pasta,
  • dried fruits,
  • mushrooms,
  • nuts,
  • confectionery.

The mill moth reaches a size of 14 mm and has dark gray wings with dots and stripes. The moth lives for 20 days, during which it is able to lay 200 eggs. Butterflies can live in warm warehouses all year round. 7 generations of pests are bred per year.


Southern barn fire

Just like the mill moth, it prefers to destroy grain, confectionery, nuts, dried fruits. Most often found in southern regions countries.

Moth has small size- 7-9 mm - and is distinguished by a dirty white-yellow color with a dark pattern on the wings. Butterflies live for two weeks.

Moth clogs grain and products with the web tubes they create. They pose a particular danger to granaries, where they destroy seed germs. As a result, seed germination is lost.


Moth afraid low temperatures and dies already at a temperature of +14 degrees. Therefore, one of the ways successful fight with it - the storage of food and grain at temperatures below 14 degrees.

Flour fire

It is distributed almost everywhere and affects granaries, warehouses, confectionery factories, shops, flour mills.


Like all the other types of moths listed above, it feeds on grain, cereals, seeds, and confectionery.

The size of the flour moth is quite large - the wings reach a size of 12-30 mm. The color of the wings is light brown with a dark pattern.

grain moth


It is very similar to the mill moth, differing from it in smaller sizes. Her eating habits are almost the same, except that she can also affect tobacco, legumes, cocoa, coffee beans. At +10 degrees, the mole dies.

dried fruit fire


Attacks dried fruits.

field moth


Is a pest of the fields. Prefer crops:

  • radish;
  • cabbage;
  • beets;
  • horseradish;
  • celery
  • spinach;
  • rapeseed.

This is a fairly large butterfly with a size of 24 mm, yellow-brown. The main harm is caused by moth caterpillars that eat leaves. cultivated plants. The main sign of defeat by a field moth is holes in the leaves.

Plowing the land before sowing and in autumn, destroying weeds and regularly loosening the soil helps protect crops from field moth.

Cruciferous scorched moth


This moth prefers to hit cruciferous plants:

  • radish;
  • cabbage;
  • rape;
  • turnip.

These are light yellow butterflies almost 20-28 mm in size. Butterflies fly out twice during the summer; at the end of August, the caterpillars burrow into the ground for wintering.

In order to successfully deal with the moth, it is necessary to dig up the ground in the fall and destroy the weeds, which are the place of natural wintering.

acacia moth


Prefers steppes and forest-steppes and infects legumes:

  • beans;
  • lentils;
  • peas;

The butterfly has a size of 22-30 mm and is light gray in color. The control measures are the same.

Destruction

To destroy moths, spraying with insecticides, irradiation insecticidal lamps and fumigation.

In the conditions of small farms, spraying with solutions of tobacco and wormwood is used.


If the moth gets into the house and settles in the products in the kitchen, destroying them, then you can use the Raptor traps, insecticide plants - laurel, lavender, geranium, citrus peel, wormwood. All cabinets should be washed with a solution of vinegar and put wormwood and lavender in them. This will scare off the flamethrower.

Fireworm harms both large farms and small kitchens, destroying food supplies and turning them into dust. Therefore, it is necessary to fight it regularly, leaving no chance for the butterflies to survive.

Bee fire (video)


Large wax moth, bee moth, wax moth, klochen, moth, shashen, "golden butterfly"), is one of the most dangerous pests of honeycombs. Latin name Galleria melonella. She, like many gray night butterflies, are nocturnal, however wax moth larvae they feed only on wax (the main product), and they can also eat flower pollen, perga, honey in combs, royal jelly, chitin of dead bees. Some authors write that bee moth can use propolis. From our observations, the larva eats only the wax in the propolis base, which accidentally gets there. Large wax moth belongs to the wax moth family and has large and small varieties.



The structure of the bee moth


The bee moth is a butterfly 20mm long with a wingspan of up to 30-35mm. The male is smaller than the female (16mm long). The front wings are ash gray and yellow-brown (closer to the hind edge), and the second pair of wings is light gray with dark layers.
On the head of a butterfly are large compound eyes and whiskers. The male bee moth has a round head. At the rear edge of its front wings there is a deep fossa with a thick black fringe. At rest, male wings large wax moth keeps folded. When pressing on the back of the abdomen, the cupulative organ protrudes. Males emit a specific smell that attracts females.
In females, the head is somewhat elongated with a thin proboscis. body of females bee moth consists of 10 segments; when pressed, a long ovipositor protrudes. The color and size of butterflies is quite variable. It depends on the quality of the combs that the moth fed on at the larval stage. The mouth organs and digestive apparatus of butterflies are underdeveloped. An adult butterfly does not eat, but lives off those nutrients accumulated at the stage wax moth larvae .

Reproduction of a large wax moth


Bee moth butterflies emerge from cocoons early in the morning between the sixth and eleventh hours, but more often in the evening around 17.00. They climb out of the entrance hole and attach to horizontal surfaces outside the hive. If the butterfly left the hive in the morning or evening, it remains there until dark. Males mate with females a few hours after emerging from cocoons. Two or three days after mating, the female large wax moth lays 80-100 eggs in the cracks, in the recesses of the walls, ceilings of the hive, frames and in the holes of hundreds of eggs. Then in another place - the same number of eggs. In just 26 days of life, the female lays 1500-2000 eggs. Eggs big wax butterfly white color round or slightly oval, about 0.5-0.35 mm in size. The development of wax moth larvae in the egg lasts 5-8 days. The larva, which has just emerged from the egg, has a length of about 1 mm, the front part of its body is much thicker than the back, the head is light yellow color, somewhat flattened. Larva bee moth has eight legs and two setae at the posterior end.

The destructive actions of the bee moth larvae


Wax moth caterpillars are the only destroyers of wax structures of bees. First 10-20 minutes wax moth larva sedentary. It moves from top to bottom of the hive. After 10-15 minutes, it becomes more active, feeds on honey from open holes, sometimes stops at holes with pollen. Then the bee moth larva begins to eat the wax. The digestion of this product is facilitated by the cerrase enzyme and the bacterial microflora of the intestine. After consuming wax, wax moth larvae can continue to feed on the feces of previous generations of moths. One wax moth larva during his life consumes about 0.4 g of wax. On the second day, the larvae of the large wax moth begin to build passages, more often on the edge of the combs near open holes with bee bread, which are adjacent to the brood. The course is directed to the mediastinum of the cells and, as a rule, wax moth larvae reach it on the 5-8th day. Your move, which looks like a tunnel, wax moth larva pulls in a web. It has a larva bee moth is inaccessible to bees. Over time, the tunnel increases in diameter, and the web becomes stronger. In some places, holes are made in the passages through which the caterpillars expose the back of the body and throw out their feces. The feces of young wax moth larvae are powdery, and in adults - in the form of large balls. Larvae large wax moth more like dark combs that have more cocoon remnants than those that are newly built. The adult larva is whitish-gray in color, the head is brown. The body is about 18mm long and consists of 13 segments. In the middle part it is wide and narrows towards the front and rear ends.
An adult larva of the bee moth stops feeding, climbs into places protected from bees, for example, in a corner, a gap or in the seams of a hive, forms a dense cocoon and pupates. Often the pupae are located very close to each other. Chrysalis first large wax moth white, then they darken: on the fourth day they become light brown, and before the very exit - dark brown. The length of the pupa of the female bee moth is 16mm, and that of the male is 14mm.
During the year, a large wax moth gives three generations. At a temperature of 30-32 degrees Celsius, full cycle development lasts 47 days (egg 8 days, larva 30 days, pupa 9 days). In hive conditions, more often than 63 days. At a temperature of 20 degrees development wax moth larvae tightens, and at a temperature of 10 degrees, and below - stops. At sub-zero temperatures moth dies at all stages of development.

The use of wax moth


Big wax moth bred and used for a variety of purposes: for research in entomology, as a test object for studying the effectiveness and quality of bacterial preparations, as a laboratory host for growing insects - entomophages, which are used in agriculture, for plant protection. However, the use of wax moth larvae as a raw material for obtaining a biologically active product is of the greatest interest. It should be noted that wax moth larva is the only living being capable of digesting and assimilating beeswax.
Larvae bee moth has long been used in folk medicine to obtain medicines. AT medical purposes larva large wax moth used in ancient times ancient greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia. However, until the 19th century, only beekeepers and a small number of healers took wax moth larvae for therapeutic purposes. At the end of the 19th century, the famous Russian scientist I.I. Mechnikov deeply studied the larva of a large wax moth and suggested that preparations from were used. Scientific idea of ​​I.I. beeswax. In the process of research, he found that preparations from old wax moth larvae, ready for pupation, do not have an anti-tuberculosis effect. For use in medicinal purposes only young individuals are suitable, during their growth period, the size of which does not exceed 10-15 mm. Thanks to the scientific research of I.I. Mechnikov bee moth became a stimulus for further study. So, the Moscow homeopathic cardiologist S.A. Mukhin revived interest in moth. The life of a scientist was filled with dramatic events. He grew up in a family whose members were ill with tuberculosis, from which his mother and two younger children died before they lived even 1 year. Mukhin himself was also sick in early childhood tuberculosis, but thanks to folk healers who knew the secret of propolis and bee moth, he was cured. He went through the tragedy of the family hard, which was the reason to become a doctor. After graduating from medical school, he took up scientific research traditional medicine and homeopathy. With his research, Mukhin confirmed the anti-tuberculosis effect of the drug. large wax moth, opened it therapeutic effect at cardiovascular diseases, the ability to dissolve fresh scars after myocardial infarction and effectively apply in old age to improve the quality of life. Professor SI. Metalnikov proved the extraordinary stability of the larvae bee moth to pathogens of plague and diphtheria.

Beekeepers know that such a dangerous pest as wax moth can be beneficial. Moth tincture is used not only in folk, but also in traditional medicine.

It is not known exactly when exactly the larvae of this butterfly began to be used to create a remedy. However, studies have confirmed that their use in the preparation of the extract has a beneficial effect on the human body. This drug helps to cure many different diseases.

This unattractive small butterfly is the closest relative of the clothes moth. Bee moths belong to insects from the Lepidoptera family of the same name. Butterflies are different variety of food habits. Gardeners and gardeners suffer especially from them, since wax moths feed on the leaves of apple and pear trees, berries and flowers. In addition, they can settle on cereals.

There are even types of moths that eat the carcasses of animals. There are also moth-shaped butterflies that live along the banks of reservoirs. However, only the moth is the most popular, the caterpillar of which eats wax.

For fire bees is a real disaster. Just a few caterpillars can destroy an entire hive. In addition to wax, this pest feeds on bee bread, honeycombs and honey. After the invasion of a small butterfly, the bee colony may not survive the winter. The female moth invades the hive at night to lay eggs freely, since the bees sleep at this time of day.

There are many more useful components in honey than in plant nectar. That is why insects that eat bees accumulate a lot of energy and various substances. Feeding on wax, bee bread and honey, the wax moth absorbs all the benefits.

Moth butterfly larvae contain many different substances that have excellent stimulating and antioxidant effects, allowing the use of medicinal preparations prepared on their basis for the treatment of various diseases.

Useful components of the extract

The tool from the larvae of the moth is a brown liquid. In its composition there are many useful substances:

Indications for the use of fire tincture

This tool has pronounced antibacterial and antiviral activity. Therefore, it is widely used in the treatment of various pathologies. The result after applying the tincture is noticeable almost immediately. In addition, such a drug is not toxic, therefore, the likelihood of side effects is extremely low. The only limitation to the use of tincture is an allergic reaction to bee products. Moth extract helps to get rid of many ailments.

Therapy of broncho-pulmonary pathologies

Wax moth-based tincture helps in the treatment of colds, emphysema, chronic and acute bronchitis, asthma attacks. After taking this remedy, the protective and drainage functions respiratory organs, resulting in spasmodic phenomena and wheezing, general well-being is improving.

Elimination of tuberculosis with moth extract

Tincture of bee moth is often used for treatment of lymphatic, visual, digestive, genitourinary and nervous systems as well as respiratory organs. In other words, such a remedy has a complex effect on the body, thereby providing the fastest cure.

Bee moth extract is best used as part of a conservative treatment. This healing drug will enhance the effect of traditional medicines and minimize the amount of negative consequences that occur after their use.

Another fire tincture is capable increase the body's defenses. The anti-tuberculosis effect of such a remedy has been proven during various studies. It contains special enzymes that have a detrimental effect on microorganisms that provoke the development of tuberculosis.
