Vikend bralno priporočilo: objavljajo se rezultati velike vseevropske 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘯-𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 čebelarske raziskave Insignia-Eu, kjer se je skozi vso sezono jemalo različne vzorce iz panjev. V raziskavi je sodelovalo po 5 čebelarjev iz vsake EU 🇪🇺 države, tudi iz Slovenije.
Zaskrbljujoče, a ne presenetljivo: rezultati so pokazali, da je 𝐯𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐤 𝐞𝐯𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐡 𝐜̌𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐣𝐞𝐯 𝐢𝐳𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐧 𝐬 𝐤𝐨𝐤𝐭𝐚𝐣𝐥𝐨𝐦 𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐨𝐯 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜̌𝐧𝐢𝐡 𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐯 𝐳𝐚 𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐣𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞. Zaradi tega so uradna zdravila manj učinkovita, prihaja do zimskih izgub čebel, možno pa je tudi prehajanje teh škodljivih učinkovin v med.
(Vsega tega pri ekološko certificiranih ✅ čebelarjih ni, saj je uporaba sintetičnih akaricidov prepovedana, ne v njihovih panjih ne v čebeljih pridelkih pa ne sme biti niti sledov teh spojin.)

📯INSIGNIA -EU project has finished, but publications from the results are still produced: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.eti.2026.104861
👉This new publication on the prevalence of veterinary substances found concluded that "As a result of successive treatments and the slow release from wax, co-occurrence of miticides is common, implying that honey bees are often exposed to mixtures rather than single active ingredients. These observations reinforce the need within any integrated pest management framework to actively manage wax quality actively through traceability and purification/replacement in order to reduce residue burdens within the colony".
More specifically: ✍️"One key finding of the study is that beekeepers in the EU continue to depend on synthetic miticides despite long-standing resistance, even as studies have linked the unprecedented honey bee colony losses in 2025 to viruses spread by Varroa mites due to the widespread failure of amitraz to control Varroa".
✍️"Residues of coumaphos and tau-fluvalinate remain prevalent. Their high lipophilicity promotes partitioning into long-term retention by beeswax; when contaminated wax is recycled into foundation, this reservoir sustains a persistent background over multiple seasons".
✍️"Amitraz continues to be widely used; accordingly, its transformation products, particularly DMF and DMPF, are frequently detected, reflecting recurrent treatment patterns. Thymol shows a broadly similar application pattern but in fewer cases".
