American lazy brood: Highly contagious bee disease in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg broke out

Von NAG Redaktion

Eine hochansteckende Bienenseuche namens Amerikanische Faulbrut ist im Berliner Bezirk Lichtenberg ausgebrochen. Das Bezirksamt Lichtenberg bestätigte am Montag den Ausbruch der Krankheit. Als Schutzmaßnahme wurde ein Sperrkreis im Umkreis von mindestens einem Kilometer um die betroffenen Bienenstände eingerichtet. Im Sperrkreis dürfen keine Bienenvölker, lebende oder tote Bienen, Waben, Wachs und Honig entfernt werden. Bisher sind im Bezirk mehr als 200 Bienenstandorte bekannt, davon befinden sich rund zehn im Sperrkreis und müssen nun untersucht werden. Wenn sich die Krankheit unkontrolliert ausbreitet, besteht die Gefahr eines Massensterbens von Bienenvölkern. Die Amerikanische Faulbrut wird durch Sporen eines Bakteriums übertragen, infiziert Bienenlarven und führt …
A highly contagious bee disease called American Faulbrut broke out in the Berlin district of Lichtenberg. The Lichtenberg district office confirmed the outbreak of the disease on Monday. As a protective measure, a blocking circuit was set up within a radius of at least one kilometer around the affected beehives. No bee colonies, living or dead bees, honeycombs, wax and honey may be removed in the blocking circle. So far, more than 200 bees locations are known in the district, of which there are around ten in the restricted circuit and must now be examined.

A high -containing bee disease called American Faulbrut broke out in the Lichtenberg district of Berlin. The Lichtenberg district office confirmed the outbreak of the disease on Monday. As a protective measure, a blocking circuit was set up within a radius of at least one kilometer around the affected beehives.

In the blocking circle, no bee colonies, living or dead bees, honeycombs, wax and honey may be removed. So far, more than 200 bees locations are known in the district, of which there are around ten in the restricted circuit and must now be examined. If the disease spreads uncontrollably, there is a risk of mass death of bee colonies.

The American foul brood is transmitted by spores of a bacterium, infected bee larvae and leads to their death. According to the information of the district office, the bacterium can survive in the ground or in old beehouses for years and thus lead to new infections again and again.

It is important that beekeepers and beekeepers in the surrounding area of ​​the barrier circle are particularly vigilant and suspicion cases immediately report to the district office. Measures are currently being taken to contain the spread of the disease and to identify other affected bee locations. The focus is on the protection of bees and ensuring honey production.

bee diseases such as the American lazy brood are a serious danger to bee population and have far -reaching ecological effects. Bees play an important role in the pollination of plants and are therefore essential for biological diversity and food safety. It is therefore of great importance that beekeepers are aware of and act quickly in the event of a disease to prevent the disease from spreading further.
