Abstract
The article presents the research findings of the influence of adding into the feeding of honey bees sugar syrup and Sumerian silver preparation on the basis of micronutrient citrates. The preparation was added into the syrup in different dilutions (1:100, 1:200 and 1:500) under conditions of isolation of bees (for 10 days) in the gardens of the thermostat, following the standard parameters of the microclimate at t=+300 С and the relative humidity 60-80%. The effectiveness of feeding different doses of the preparation was determined by the viability and lifespan of the bees on the daily basis. According to the research findings, the highest preservation (93.67% within the range of 100-93.67%) during 10 days of the experiment was observed among the bees of group IV which were taking the Sumerian silver preparation in dilution 1:200. The lower levels of preservation (89.65 within the range of 100-89.65% and 86.25% within the range of 100-86.25%) were shown by bees of the experimental groups III-V receiving the preparation in dilution 1:100 and 1:500. Feeding with the high concentrated preparation in dilution 1:10 (group II) resulted in the lowest (56.1%) preservation of bees in this group, fluctuating from 1 to 10 days within the range from 92.42% to 56.06%, and higher death - 43.94% versus 21.82% among the bees of the control group (I). Feeding honey bees with sugar syrup and Sumerian silver preparation in different dilutions (1:10-1:500) caused a significant difference in the content of Ag, Cu, Fe, Zn, and Co in the tissues of honey bees of all experimental groups and the control group. Namely, the increase of the content of Ag, Cu, in the bodies of bees of experimental groups on the background of reducing the content of Fe and Zn. Thus, the application of Sumerian silver preparation to honey bees in dilutions of 1:100, 1:200, 1:500 indicates that there have been no toxic effects on their bodies during 10 days of feeding, as well as corrective, synergistic and antagonistic effects on the content of such microelements as Ag, Cu, Fе, Zn and Co in the tissues of their organisms.
