“…It was first reported to be active against nosema disease of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) in the early 1950s (Katznelson and Jamieson, 1952;Bailey, 1953a, b). Subsequent reports of work (see Goetze and Zeutzschel, 1959) indicated that fumagillin was effective in improving survival of nosema-infected colonies and increasing honey yields, but some residual infection usually remained. Different methods of application have been used: syrup (Furgala and Gochnauer, 1969), powdered sugar (Wyborn and McCutcheon, 1987;Szabo and Heikel, 1987), and extender patties (Williams, 1973).…”

-Fumagillin (as the dicyclohexylammonium salt) has been found to be extremely unstable when solutions in 50% ethanol are exposed to sunlight in small vials, undergoing a series of degradations with half-lives in the range of seconds to minutes. Similar results were obtained with photolyses of Fumidil B in either 50% ethanol or sugar syrup. Decomposition also occurred in fluorescent room light. Exposure of fumagillin to sunlight for three days caused almost complete disappearance of UV absorption of fumagillin and all its immediate photoproducts. The reactions involved in the photolyses are apparently reversible Z:E rearrangements in the unsaturated ester portion of the molecule, and do not involve the pharmacologically active moiety. Samples of fumagillin in syrup, irradiated for 0, 0.5, 5, 30, or 360 minutes were all effective in protecting caged bees from nosema disease. While long exposures to sunlight probably should be avoided, brief exposure causes no obvious loss of activity.fumagillin / stability / photolysis / nosema disease / Apis mellifera

“…Nosemosis is a worldwide endemic disease of honey bees caused by the intestinal microsporidiumNosema apis, which currently has no cure (Goetza and Zeutzchel, 1959). A novel technique involving the use of newly hatched nurse bees (HNB) that are free from this disease may, however, be the answer to this problem.…”

The objectives of this experiment were to: 1. compare the hypopharyngeal gland development (by measuring the head weight) of caged newly hatched nurse bees fed on eight different pollen and artificial diets; and 2. examine the correlation between protein intake and head weight. The artificial diets: substitute 2; FeedBee ® ; substitute 1; and protein substitute stimulated (in order) significantly higher head weight than the pollen diets: pure irradiated mixed pollen; redgum (Corymbia calophylla); redgum + soyflour protein isolate; and pollen supplement.Only artificial diets stimulated overall head weight of more than 10 mg and maintained head weight above the emergent head weight for the duration of the experiment. Substitute 2 and FeedBee ® stimulated the highest head weight, followed by substitute 1 and pollen substitute, pollen supplement, mixed pollen and redgum + soyflour protein isolate, and redgum. The only diets to have positive correlation (p < 0.05) between the crude protein consumption and head weight were substitute 1 and pollen substitute.Efectos del polen y las dietas artificiales en las glándulas hipofaríngeas de las abejas recién emergidas (Apis mellifera L.). ResumenLos objetivos de este experimento son: 1. comparar el desarrollo de la glándula hipofaríngea (por medición del peso de la cabeza) en abejas nodrizas recién emergidas enjauladas y alimentadas con ocho tipos de polen y dietas artificiales y 2. evaluar la correlación entre la ingesta de proteína y el peso de la cabeza. Las dietas artificiales: sustituto 2, FeedBee ® , sustituto 1, y un sustituto de proteína estimularon (en ese orden) un peso significativamente mayor de la cabeza que la dieta a base de polen: una mezcla de polen puro espolvoreado, gomero rojo (Corymbia calophylla), gomero rojo + proteína de harina de soja, y suplemento de polen. Únicamente la dieta artificial estimuló el incremento en el peso de la cabeza por más de 10 mg y mantuvo este peso por encima del peso de la cabeza de las abejas recién emergidas durante todo el experimento. El sustituto 2 y FeedBee ® estimularon el mayor peso de la cabeza seguido por el sustituto 1 y el sustituto de polen, suplemento de polen, mezcla de polen y gomero rojo + proteína de harina de soja y gomero rojo. La únicas dietas que presentaron correlación positiva (p <0.05) entre el consumo de proteína cruda y peso de la cabeza fueron el sustituto 1 y el sustituto de polen.
