Identificación de agentes bacterianos causantes de enfermedades de impacto en apicultura en los municipios de Popayán y Cajibío Cauca

Bees are very important beings in nature due to their pollination work in different floral and fruit crops. These insects, like other living beings, need optimal health in order to maintain good apiary productivity. In the present investigation, the presence of two main bacterial agents that affect the health of honey bees known as Paenibacillus larvae and Melissococcus plutonius, which cause American foulbrood and European foulbrood, respectively, was determined. Twelve productive apiaries belonging to the municipalities of Cajibío and Popayán Cauca were visited, taking into account two evaluation criteria: strong and weak hive of each beekeeping unit. A total of 240 bacteriological tests were analyzed among larvae, adult bees and comb, without cases of American foulbrood and European foulbrood, but there were presence of bacteria from Lactobacillus and Apilactobacillus genera. The results obtained reflect good hive health indexes, but it is necessary to continue with the implementation of surveillance and control strategies to avoid major hive losses
