Tib neeg tau tsim cov chiv thiab tshuaj tua kab, tab sis nws tseem tsis tau tsim cov tshuaj uas tuaj yeem ua tiav pollinate cov qoob loo loj. Tam sim no, muv pollinate txog 80% ntawm tag nrho cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo, zaub thiab noob cog hauv Tebchaws Meskas.
Peb ntseeg hais tias zib mu yog ib tug by-product ntawm natural pollination ntawm ua liaj ua teb muv. Koj puas paub tias "cov kwv tij qus" ntawm zib muv (xws li bumblebees, av muv) yog cov pollinators zoo dua? Tsis tas li ntawd, lawv tsis tshua muaj kev cuam tshuam rau kev phom sij ntawm zuam. Yog li, lawv tsis tsim ntau cov zib ntab.
Yuav kom tsim tau 450 grams zib mu, ib tug muv colony yuav tsum "yav ncig" (kwv yees li 55 mais) ntawm ib tug ceev ntawm 000 mais ib teev. Thaum lub sij hawm lub neej, ib tug muv tuaj yeem tsim tau txog 15 teaspoon ntawm zib mu, uas yog ib qho tseem ceeb heev rau lub Hive thaum lub caij ntuj no nyuaj. Lwm qhov tseeb tsim nyog xav txog thaum zaum ze ntawm lub tswm ciab: rau 1 g ntawm wax, muv. Thiab qhov ntau peb coj los ntawm cov tsiaj me me, kev ua haujlwm siab (ntau paj paj, muaj koob muaj npe jelly, propolis), lawv yuav tsum tau ua haujlwm hnyav dua thiab xav tau muv ntau dua. Hmoov tsis zoo, cov muv ua liaj ua teb yuav tsum nyob hauv qhov chaw tsis zoo thiab muaj kev ntxhov siab rau lawv. Zib ntab yog zaub mov zoo heev… rau muv.
Lo lus teb rau lo lus nug ntawm yuav ua li cas yog cov muv ploj zoo li nyob ib ncig ntawm lub ces kaum. Ob peb xyoos dhau los, cov dab neeg ntawm muv extinction thiab colony collapse syndrome tau raug them los ntawm ntau yam kev hwm xws li The New York Times, Discovery News thiab lwm yam. Cov kws tshawb fawb tab tom tshawb xyuas vim li cas cov muv poob qis thiab peb tuaj yeem ua dab tsi ua ntej nws lig dhau lawm.
Tshuaj tua kab
Lub Tsev Kawm Ntawv Qib Siab Pennsylvania tau tshaj tawm txoj kev tshawb fawb hauv xyoo 2010 uas pom tias "tsis tau pom dua" ntawm cov tshuaj tua kab hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas khaus khaus (Yog tias cov tshuaj tua kab muaj nyob rau hauv beehives, koj puas xav tias lawv nyob hauv zib ntab?). Ntxiv mus, US Environmental Protection Agency tau paub txog qhov no.

Ticks thiab kab mob
Vim lub cev tsis muaj zog (kev ntxhov siab, tshuaj tua kab, thiab lwm yam), cov muv ua rau muaj kab mob ntau dua, kab mob fungal thiab mites. Feem ntau ntawm cov kab mob no tshwm sim thaum cov khaus khaus raug thauj los ntawm lub teb chaws mus rau lub teb chaws, ntawm ib qho chaw mus rau lwm qhov.
Xovtooj ntawm tes
- ABC Xov Xwm
Ntxiv nrog rau kev cuam tshuam ntawm xov tooj ntawm tes, tshuaj tua kab thiab kab mob, "kev lag luam" bees ua liaj ua teb, txawm tias yooj yim lossis organic (qhov twg lawv cov neeg tuag tsawg dua, tab sis tseem muaj), khaws cia hauv qhov chaw tsis zoo thiab cov xwm txheej. Txawm tus tsiaj me npaum li cas, yuav tsum tsis muaj chaw rau kev ua qhev. Txawm hais tias koj yuav ua liaj ua teb zib mu los yog lub npe nrov, koj tab tom pab txhawb rau kev siv cov muv rau tib neeg noj. Dab tsi yog cov txheej txheem ntawm "tsim" ntawm zib mu?
- Bees nrhiav ib qhov chaw ntawm nectar
- Thaum pom lub paj tsim nyog, lawv tau tsau rau ntawm nws thiab nqos dej qab zib.
Tsis yog phem… Tab sis cia saib dab tsi ntxiv.
- Muaj ib tug belching ntawm nectar, nyob rau hauv uas nws sib tov nrog qaub ncaug thiab enzymes.
- Bee swallows lub nectar dua, tom qab uas lub belching tshwm sim dua thiab qhov no yog rov ua ob peb zaug.
Yog tias peb pom cov txheej txheem no hauv kev nqis tes ua, peb puas yuav tsis poob lub siab xav nthuav tawm zib mu rau peb sawv ntxov toast? Thaum qee tus yuav tawm tsam, "Yog li dab tsi?", qhov tseeb tseem tshuav tias zib ntab yog cov kua qaub sib xyaw thiab regurgitated "khoom noj" los ntawm muv.
