bumblebees<\/strong><\/h4><\/div><p>Bumblebees have a number of parasites that affect them. Not all parasites can wipe out a bumblebee nest. However, one of them can, and very often does.<\/p><p>At the same time<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">It acts insidiously \u2013 quietly, deceitfully and very quickly. It easily gets into a bumblebee nest and easily does its work there.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">You could easily overlook him as just another individual getting into the nest during the day.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );\">After some time, however, hundreds of new individuals appear in the nest, who set off to find a new food source, as their work in this nest is already completed.<\/span><\/p><p>Unlike other bumblebee parasites, the visit of this individual is akin to a kiss of death for the nest.<\/p><p>We're talking about a small <strong>parasitic wasp Melittobia acasta<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Images of nests being attacked by Melittobia are undoubtedly shocking even to stronger characters. It is a greatly feared parasite, <strong>Just one infected cocoon is enough and the fate of the bumblebee nest is essentially sealed<\/strong>.\u00a0 <br \/>However, if you, as bumblebee breeders, utilise your knowledge of this wasp's biology and have the courage to confront it, you can give an attacked nest a chance. In nature, however, there is no helping a nest and<strong> Bumblebees do defend themselves against this wasp, but in most cases they cannot ward it off.<\/strong>.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Thank you<\/strong><\/p><p>Thank you for the insights and the foundational article written for us by experienced breeder Jakub \u010cern\u00fd. <br \/>By chance, colonies of this parasite appeared in his garden at home, and so Jakub gained valuable insights. Thanks to these, he improved his hives and came up with a methodology for saving bumblebee nests.<\/p><p>CM+<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-5f46d72 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5f46d72\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" id=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-3570eb2\" data-id=\"3570eb2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58e6055 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58e6055\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"attachment_17411\" style=\"width: 910px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17411\" class=\"wp-image-17411 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cmelaciplus.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Cmelaci-PLUS-Melittobia_acasta-Matka-2-Foto-www-naturspaziergang-de.jpg\" alt=\"Bumblebees PLUS -
