Scientific justification of the methods on disinfection and sanitation in beekeeping

There are no specific protection means (vaccines) in beekeeping. To control infectious diseases of bees, various medicinal preparations are used: antibiotics, sulfonamides, bacteriophages, but they do not lead to the improvement of apiaries without disinfection. Disinfection preparations for the disinfection of beekeeping facilities according to the current situation are approved for use by developers and manufacturers themselves. Often, the proposed preparations for disinfection of beekeeping facilities are studied with large methodological errors, which leads to negative consequences for effectiveness of health measures. In order to eliminate methodological errors, methods have been developed for determining the nature and amount of microbial protection on test objects, the procedure for applying the disinfectant solution and its consumption per 1 m2 of surface, the method and procedure for taking a sample from the disinfected surface, neutralizing the disinfectant, determining the concentration of non-disinfected microorganisms. The use of developed methods in testing of new disinfectants allows to obtain reliable results of disinfection of various objects of beekeeping.
