This project has been done in three different seasons (spring, summer and autumn) in apiaries in Ilam. Ilam city has 280 apiaries (65% of total apiaries in province). In each season the sampling was achieved in 30 apiaries (450 colony). The rate of infestation of varroa in spring, summer and autumn were 16.6%, 30 and 26.6% respectively. The rate of infection to Nosema were 26.6%, 13.3 and 3.3 percent in mentioned seasons respectively. The parasites Acarapis woodi, Malpighamoeba mellificae and Gregarines were not seen in these samples. 13 out of 30 apiaries had CCD signs. 9 out of 13 apiaries (69.23%) with CCD were infected to Nosema spore and 4 apiaries (30.7%) were infested to Varroa destructor. 2 apiaries had no any parasitic infections. The most important of pests in these apiaries were as green bird cassock, waxmoth, wasps. In this study the apiaries were infected to Varroa destructor and Nosema, which are the most important parasites in honey bees that cause serious damage annually in the world. There was a significant relation between CCD and Parasite agents (p= 0.0005).

Propolis as The bee products repair the skin, leaving the skin correction, improvement of acne and herpes, anti-fungal, skin moisturizing and revitalizing the skin's elasticity, relieve dryness and Red spots, psoriasis, cutaneous and… Used (2،3, 4, 10). To evaluate the effect of propolis on dry skin treatment, 3 of the cream base cream (without propolis) containing 1% cream contains 3% Propolis Propolis cream pie on the heels of 17 women in the age range 17-73 were tested. cream were distributed randomly among individuals (3 treatments and each treatment consisted of 17 replicates is). Was advised of the cream 1-2 times a day and take 2 weeks. The questionnaire was given to each person in terms of their satisfaction are announced. Results showed that the mean recovery propolis creams containing 1%, 83. 5% and 3% propolis cream, 72% cream significantly improved the rate base; 2. 23%, respectively. However, no significant difference between the two mean satisfaction Propolis Cream 1% and 3% propolis was observed cream.

Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman is considered as the most serious ectoparasite of Apis mellifera L. through the world. In this review, we effort to discuss on current knowledge about varroa mite impacts on physical, physiological and also some biological traits of European honey bee. Results of recent studies show that decreasing in physical traits of A. mellifera including bee body size, wet and dry weights and body water content significantly correlated with increasing in varroa infestation level. In physiological traits, protein and carbohydrate content of hemolymph, vitellogenin titer and proportion of normal hemocytes of mite-infested bees significantly decrease in compared with non-infested bees. Moreover, it is demonstrated that varroa mite infestation affects the biological aspects of honey bee including colony population, performance, wintering ability, survival rate, life span and foraging behavior. Late fall acaricides measure is recommended to prevent winter colony losses. Therefore, it can be suggested that beekeepers combine treatment strategies to keep the mite population below the Economic Injury Level (EIL) and improve winter survival rate of honey bee colonies.

In recent years, honey bee products other than just honey such as pollen, propolis, waxes and venoms have gained considerable attention. Hive is the most important tool in honey bee industry, the proper construction of which could play a key role in improving honey bee production. Since 1382, investigations have been done on hives made inside the country to eliminate deficiencies seen in these hives. The lack of use of standard sizes in building these hives causes loss of production and severe damages to the colony. Finally, by the experiments carried out on the colonies, the best structure to eliminate the deficiencies in current hives and improve the production efficiency of all honey bee products was introduced to be folding-leg hive. The folding leg hives have been designed in 8 models and have the following advantages: pollen, propolis, wax and venom collection capability in one unit without the need for purchasing and installing related facilities. Also, basic changes in body of the hive and the addition of folding legs and fixed syrup bowl to the hive, proper insulation of hives have reduced cost of bee keeping and increased the economic lifetime of the hives. The present paper is a brief review on the 8 models of folding-leg hives and their performance.

Design and build machines to collect pollen, propolis and bee venom Article 5, Volume 5, Issue 5, Summer and Autumn 2011, Page 30-37 PDF (1160 K)AbstractAbstract The survey instrument was designed and developed three products that pollen, propolis and bee venom collected. For testing, the device was placed in front of the gate flying for 10 days. During the early hours of installation and used to saving bees collect pollen and propolis began. Venom extraction time, electric current, 22 V, 5 min (cycle 7 seconds rest 3 seconds) with 3 times a day and within 2 days of rest, the bees were shocked. Given that it will not open the hive, the bees were a lot of stress and shock after the quiet and the people were not attacked. Brhmvm collected until the end of September, the store carried by honeybees collect the frame rate for 175 grams. Coupled devices, are far less expensive and easier to build three separate devices, and in a short time and ease of installation will be. Beekeepers use these devices in addition products (except honey) and increasing revenue, using these products in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries _ health, community health are saving more. These devices Industrial Property Office, patent No. 70210-18/03/1390 received certification.
