The Effects of Coumaphos and Lithium Chloride Exposure on Honey Bees’ (Apis mellifera) Sugar Consumption, Survivability and Nosema ceranae Susceptibility

Abstract

Objective: The main objective of this study was to assess the effects of coumaphos and lithium chloride exposure used in Varroa control on the life span, sucrose consumption, and Nosema ceranae susceptibility of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera). Materials and Methods: In this research, two frames of capped brood were taken from three Caucasian honey bee colonies and incubated at 35°C and 80% relative humidity. Newly emerged worker bees were collected into experimental cages, with 50 bees per cage, and fed ad libitum with sugar syrup and pollen. Bees; the control group consisted of those exposed to coumaphos, those exposed to lithium chloride, and those exposed to acetone (coumaphos solvent). In addition to these four groups, the same groups were divided into eight groups, including those infected with N. ceranae spores. Sugar syrup consumption and mortality rates were recorded daily, while. ceranae spore counts were conducted at the end of the trial. Results: The study found that there were no statistically significant variations in mortality rates and sucrose solution consumption among the groups (p>0.05). The groups treated with lithium chloride, lithium chloride Nosema, and coumaphos showed considerably lower Nosema spore counts compared to the other groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: Exposure to lithium chloride significantly reduced the spore counts in groups infected with N. ceranae (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in terms of sucrose consumption among the groups, indicating that exposure did not have a significant effect on the feeding habits of the bees. Consequently, research should be conducted on the potential benefits of lithium chloride against N. ceranae infections, beyond its use in controlling varroa mites.
