Australische stad bestrijdt mijt op bijen met heliumballonnen
Een groep biologen in de Australische stad Townsville gebruikt grote witte heliumballonnen gevuld met feromonen om Aziatische honingbijen te vangen.
De ballonnen zijn vooral bedoeld om deze bijensoort te lokken en te onderzoeken, meldt ABC News vrijdag. Deze soort kan de varroamijt met zich meedragen.

De ergste soort van deze mijt kan ervoor zorgen dat andere bijeenskolonies die in Townsville voorkomen binnen drie tot vier jaar sterven doordat mijten bijenlarven opeten.

Vooral de Europese honingbij, die voor de meeste honing in Australië zorgt, lijdt onder de mijten.

Muteren
Hoewel de mijten die tot nu toe op bijen zijn gevonden in de Australische stad niet de dodelijkste varoamijtsoort zijn, vrezen wetenschappers dat de soort op termijn zal muteren.

"Eigenlijk gebruiken wij in essentie een grote heliumballon met een soort vislijn erop met vrouwelijke bijenferomonen die mannetjesbijen lokt", zegt onderzoeker Ashley Bunce, tegen ABC News. "Dus mensen moeten niet schrikken als mensen ze zien. Het is slechts een onderzoeksmethode."

Als de bijen worden gevangen, worden ze in ethanol gelegd en wordt getest of ze de mijt met zich meedragen. Ook kan worden bepaald uit welke korf de bij afkomstig is zodat eventueel extra maatregelen genomen kunnen worden.

Australian city fights mites on bees with helium balloons A group of biologists in the Australian city of Townsville used large white helium balloons filled with pheromones to Asian honey bees.The balloons are mainly intended to lure this bee and investigate, reports ABC News Friday. This kind of the Varroa destructor can carry with them.The worst kind of this mite can ensure that other bijeenskolonies that occur within three to four years in Townsville die because mites bee larvae eat them.Especially the European honey bee, which for most honey in Australia, is suffering from the mites.MutateAlthough the mites that so far on bees are found in the Australian city are not the deadliest varoamijtsoort, fearing scientists that the species eventually will mutate."Actually we use essentially a large helium balloon with a kind of fishing line on it with female bee pheromones which males bees lures", says researcher Ashley Bunce, against ABC News. "So people should not scare when people see them. It's only a test scheme. "If the bees are captured, they are placed in ethanol and tests whether they mite carry with them.

Australian city fights mites on bees with helium balloons
A group of biologists in the Australian city of Townsville used large white helium balloons filled with pheromones to capture Asian honeybees.
The balloons are primarily intended to lure these bee species and investigate, ABC News reported Friday. This species Varroa mites can carry with them.

The worst kind of this mite can cause other assembled colonies appearing in Townsville die within three to four years by mites eat bee larvae.

In particular, the European honeybee, which ensures the most honey in Australia, suffering from the mites.

mutation
Although the mites that hitherto bee found in the Australian city are not the deadliest varoamijtsoort, fear scientists that the species will eventually mutate.

"Actually we use essentially a large helium balloon with a sort of fishing line out with female bee pheromone that attracts male bees, "says researcher Ashley Bunce, at ABC News. "So people should not be alarmed if people see them. It is only a method of investigation."

If the bees are caught, they are placed in ethanol and tested whether they carry with them the mite. Can also be determined from which the basket is derived so that can be taken, if any additional measures.
