The phenomenon of theft between bee colonies and to deal with them.

Far back in theft usually inherent in the bee strong communities where the attack on vulnerable communities to steal honey found out, spoke this case at times when least nectar sources abroad, and there are factors that encourage the theft of such left open the cells for a long time when scanned or not to tighten the lock or exposing the blood-filled saline diabetes for a long time in the dissolved before adding it to the hives, or a feeding process for certain
communities without feeding or other communities in different times and not uniform. The waxy tablets provide some honey lead to theft so be emptied of honey before adding it to the range, especially when storage after the completion of the season combined, and they offer a blank disk and add it, when added to the white communities during the season. Theft may lead to the destruction of a large number of bees or the death of the Queen and the spread of diseases among the communities evacuated.

Bees features a robber in a way flight in front of the beehive and legs extended forward, trying to break into the cell with the bees fight goalkeeper leads to the fall of the large number of victims you see on the plate in front of the cell and aviation. And issued by the stolen community buzz particular strong. When the robber bees out of the cell loaded with honey shuffling fly in a straight line but as is customary in the honey harvest trip, and robber bees tend to sting badly.

Theft resistance: -
It must resist the theft resistance causes that promote the occurrence and which I mentioned earlier as well as perform the following precautions: -

  1. Making communities are all the bees in one because the weak force communities vulnerable to theft of strong communities.
  2. Narrow slot in the cell depletion nectar by weeds even easier for the bees fill the guard guarding what might exist from cracks or holes in the wood.
  3. Not to leave open the cells for a long time and the provisions of the development of the cell cover.
  4. Feeding all the cells at one time and always before sunset.
  5. Spray the bees attack thief twelve dilute solution of water and salt by machine guns, as well as spray painting aviation community abused this solution even prevents the entry of robber bees.
  6. If stolen cell transfer to another place after locking her door green grass continued and placed the cell empty place some honey tablets or bowl with sugar syrup until the food ends up on the robber bees and prevent theft.
  7. Robber bees killed by cyanide-cum calcium above the new cell placed the weak cell replace base.
  8. Being offset what the offering range of food by nutrition intravenously sugary intensive, providing the solution diabetes last day and raise the cells next morning early, taking into account washing blood densely feeding bees, before placing diabetes solution where in order to avoid putrefaction and putrefaction In order to avoid injury to bees diseases.
