SUMMARY<br />

The possibilities and limits of thermal treatment<br />

as a biotechnical method of fighting Varroatosis<br />

Experiments utilizing thermal therapy upon artificial swarms were carried<br />

out. An electronically controlled hot air heater was used after its integration into<br />

the hive. Other stores were used for treament. For each temperature 3 small<br />

artificial swarms (ca. 1500 bees) were treated for a maximum of 30 minutes at the<br />

following temperatures : 42, 45, 48, 49, 50 and 51 ° C. The relative humidity<br />

was less than 20 % for all experiments. Until initial bee damage 6 %, 64 %,<br />

86 %, 75 % and 74 % of the mites were killed. At temperatures of 48, 49,<br />

50 and 51 °C initial bee damage occured at times of 20, 15, 11 and 8 minutes.<br />

In order to see whether this test was applicable for field experiments 6 artificial<br />

swarms of normal size (ca. 15000 bees) were treated at 48 °C for 20 minutes and<br />

6 others at 50 ° C for 15 minutes. In comparison to the controls, an average of<br />

only 23 and 38 % of the mites, respectively, could be killed. Apparently bees can<br />

influence the range of temperature and relative humidity by their strong tendency<br />

to build swarms, thereby reducing the mortality of the mites.<br />

RÉSUMÉ<br />

Possibilités et limites du traitement thermique<br />

comme méthode de lutte biotechnique contre la varroase<br />

On a mené des expériences sur l’utilisation du traitement thermique sur des<br />

essaims artificiels. Un radiateur à air chaud et contrôle électronique a été intégré<br />

à la ruche. Des hausses ont été utilisées pour le traitement. On a traité 3 petits<br />

essaims artificiels (environ 1 500 abeilles) pendant 30 minutes maximum pour<br />

chacune des températures suivantes : 42, 45, 48, 49, 50 et 51 °C. L’humidité<br />

relative a été inférieure à 20 % pour toutes les expériences. Il a fallu 20, 15,<br />

11 et 8 minutes respectivement pour noter les premiers dégats causés aux<br />

abeilles aux températures de 48, 49, 50 et 51 ° C. Pour voir si ce test était
