Description
Novel apiary composition
Technical field
The invention relates to a novel apiary composition which is useful for preventing American Foulbrood disease (Histolysis infectiosa perniciosa larvarum) of honey bees (Apis mellifera) and for treatment of the established disease.
Background
Foulbrood disease is an ancient disease of the brood of honey bees which had already been reported in ancient times. Pathogen of the disease is the bacterium Paenibacillus larvae. The vegetative form of the microorganism is bacilliform with cilia on all sides, serving for motion. Inside of the bacilli, spore formations are present. While vegetative bacilli are not resistant, the spores retain their germinative ability for more than 10 years. It is characteristic to the resistance of the spores the surviving ability in honey boiled for 10 minutes while for total destruction at least heating at 1120C for 1 hour is necessary.
Foulbrood disease may occur any time in the brooding period. The natural progress of extension of the infection caused by the pathogen is slow, espe- cially as the adult bees remove most of the spores and only the youngest larva is specifically susceptible to the infection. Adult bees never get sick.
However, the infected larva dies from the toxin produced by the P. larvae. All this takes place after termination of brooding, after the larva ceases feeding.
The color of the decayed larva turns into brown from china white and long, sticky thread can be stretched from the body. Its smell reminds of glue. Finally, the dried rest of body, jams against the cell wall or bottom and turns to a
scutum-like crust. The crust comprises millions of spores of the pathogen thus forming a further source of infection. Destruction of the brooding gets stronger and stronger and extension of the disease may even result in a complete destruction of the family. The honey supply of the destructed colony will be car- ried off by other strong, healthy colonies and thus, the disease could be expanded. The disease can also spread by hiving swarms of bees of unknown origin or through instruments originating from other infected apicultures.
It is well known in the art that foulbrood disease may be combated by two ba- sic methods: one is the radical route, the other may be some kind of medication.
In case of the radical route, the diseased bee colonies are killed and the instruments capable of spreading the infection are destroyed (burned). Wherein the extension of disease is of lower grade, usually the radical route is applied (for example, in Hungary). Medical treatment is usually used only in countries where the disease has already strongly extended and there is no hope for localization or possibly for full elimination.
Until the appearance of antibiotics, sulfonamides were used as medical treatment, with little success. Since the 1950's, oxytetracycline-type antibiotics have been used, but even such treatment have not brought sufficient success. Antibiotics (but even sulfonamides) destroy the vegetative form of the pathogen but not the spores. After termination of medication, the disease may be resumed any time. An other backlog of the treatment is the contamination of the honey which may be hazardous to the consumer.
The ethylene dioxide method has become known from the 1960's, which consists of disinfecting the honeycomb for 18 hours at 270C. Though this method is effective, however expensive, complicated and dangerous (the ethylene dioxide is explosive). Thus, this method has not been widely extended in the
profession and remained in the experimental phase only. It is apparent therefore, that no method or medication has been known which would have successfully prevented the disease or cured the disease already developed.
Disclosure of Invention
It is the aim of the present invention to provide an effective composition which, by a simple administration method, successfully combats the disease or prevents foulbrood disease.
Our experiments were focused on the development of natural (herbal) -based compositions. The aim of the long in vitro experiments has been to develop compositions of natural base which effectively and significantly inhibit or kill the pathogen (Paenibacillus larvae ) bred artificially.
The first step of the experiments was culturing the pathogen. The long-term experiments were carried out by agar diffusion methods. The method consisted of dripping the test material of defined quantity, concurrently with the application of the pathogen, in the holes of solid medium in Petri plates. The plates were incubated at permanent temperatures and thus, after 72 hours, well-defined and measurable inhibition zones were obtained. The sizes of the inhibition zones were used for evaluating the activity of the test materials used, i.e. a higher inhibition zone was evaluated as more effective (measured in mm, by deducting the diameter of the hole). The experiments aimed to select the best composition meeting the above criteria.
The experiments have shown that some combinations of the active substances of natural origin, i.e. herbal origin, possessed extremely good effect. These good results could significantly be improved by complementing the combinations by the addition of thymol (which is a component of many volatile oils) and/or some volatile oils, especially cinnamon and anise oil.
The experimental results are shown in the following table:
Explanation:
The meanings of the capital letters in the table are as follows:
A: the active materials were applied in an amount of 30μl (1 drop) B: the active materials were applied in an amount of 60μl (2 drop) C: the concentration of the test materials (in case of columns 2, 3, 4, 5 and 8) was raised from 0,1 % to 0,5% and applied in an amount of 30μl (1 drop) K: the size of inhibition zone is not detectable as the pathogen colonies on the entire area were blast.
The bold numbers of the first column have the following meaning:
1. herbs (4 different) in aqueous alcoholic extract + 2,0% thymol
2. herbs (4 different) in aqueous alcoholic extract + 2,2% thymol + 0,1% cinnamon oil 3. as item 2 + 0, 1 % anisic oil 4. as item 3 + 0,1 % hyssop oil
5. as item 2 + 0,1% hyssop oil
6. 20% thymol dissolved in 20% alcohol in water
7. 1 % aqueous sorbic acid solution
8. as item 1 + 0,8% cinnamon oil + 0,2% anisic oil
The conclusions drawn from the above table are as follows:
- the sorbic acid itself is inactive,
- the thymol solution itself is less active than the thymol dissolved in the herbal extract,
- any one of the hyssop oil combinations is less active than those of the other two oils (5<4<3<2),
- composition No. 2 possesses extraordinary results,
- combination No. 8 shows very good results as well.
Accordingly, the invention relates to an apiary composition comprising as active ingredients
(i) volatile oil and/or a component of a volatile oil selected from the group consisting of cinnamon oil, anisic oil, hyssop oil, thymol,
(ii) an aqueous-alcoholic extract of herbs selected from the group consisting thyme (Thymus vulgaris), wild marjoram (Organum vulgare), walnut leaf (Junglandis folium), marjoram (Organum majoranna), with carriers and auxiliaries known per se, preferably water and ethanol.
