The requirement for the protection of bee colonies against invasions has been noted by many breeders and is included as an aspect of the development of beekeeping. This research aimed to check the effect of the development of a colony exposed to laying eggs (brood surface) by queen bees with similar chemical potential (sisters) on the effect of a preparation combating depending on the number of mites found in a given colony. We chose this as a standard model of conduct that treats each bee colony as one organism subjected to individual parasite control. For this purpose, we created a bee colony with a mother-of-one breeding line and fertilised drones from one colony. Infection with occurred naturally and uncontrollably. Without interfering with the colony's development, the frame insulator helped each colony's brood (mothers' reproductive potential) and the initial and final individuals from the mites themselves. The study was carried out in four species (two control species and two species with up to 20 and over 21 mites, respectively). Treatments with amitraz to combat damage were divided into four treatment subgroups: two treatments every four days or four treatments every two days. We observed the number of individuals that were protected in all subgroups in the average brood area. The reproductive potential of the sisters' mothers did not change after the treatments with amitraz, which indicated that amitraz did not affect the delegation of egg laying. The invasion rate was also tracked relative to the control group, which allowed us to conclude that a two-time treatment with amitraz reduced the frequency of mites and a four-time treatment checked the effectiveness. Tailoring the control of in bee colonies may be an effective measure in the fight against this parasite.
许多养蜂人都注意到了保护蜂群免受侵袭的必要性，这已被纳入养蜂业发展的一个方面。本研究旨在检验具有相似化学潜能的蜂王（姐妹蜂王）在产卵（育虫面）时蜂群发育情况对一种防治制剂效果的影响，该效果取决于特定蜂群中发现的螨虫数量。我们选择这作为一种标准行为模式，将每个蜂群视为一个接受个体寄生虫控制的生物体。为此，我们创建了一个单母系繁殖系的蜂群，并使用来自一个蜂群的受精雄蜂。感染是自然且不受控制地发生的。在不干扰蜂群发育的情况下，框架隔离器帮助了每个蜂群的育虫（蜂王的繁殖潜能）以及螨虫本身的初始和最终个体。该研究在四个蜂群中进行（两个对照蜂群以及分别有多达20只和超过21只螨虫的两个蜂群）。用双甲脒防治损害的处理分为四个处理亚组：每四天处理两次或每两天处理四次。我们观察了平均育虫区域内所有亚组中受到保护的个体数量。用双甲脒处理后，姐妹蜂王的母亲的繁殖潜能没有变化，这表明双甲脒不影响产卵的分配。相对于对照组，还跟踪了侵袭率，这使我们能够得出结论，双甲脒两次处理降低了螨虫的出现频率，四次处理则检验了防治效果。针对蜂群中螨虫的防治措施进行调整可能是对抗这种寄生虫的有效措施。
