Waste products of wax moth
Man is a creature so inventive that at times it can even benefit from industrial waste and household pests. Did you know that waste products wax moth, (in fact, its feces) are very popular among beekeepers and adherents of traditional medicine. She is advised to take as an effective medicine for the treatment of many different diseases.
A little bit about fire
Wax moth, or ognevka - a real storm of all beekeepers. The appearance of the moth butterfly There are two varieties. A large one can reach up to 3.5 cm in wingspan and is usually brownish or beige in color. A smaller mole does not exceed 2.5 cm in wingspan, has a grayish tint and is almost imperceptible. They are nocturnal butterflies.
The beekeeper learns that the beehive was attacked by flagella by the gnawed wax on the comb, from which honey then completely disappears. Small pellets remain on the scene of the crime - the products of vital activity of the wax moth, which can be collected from it to make a therapeutic tincture.
The excrement is left by the voracious larvae, which are deposited in the honeycomb moth. Having hatched from eggs, they begin to destroy honey rapidly, gnawing on themselves whole wax labyrinths and emptying the honeycombs. With a lack of food, the larvae of the wax moth can even attack the larvae of bees or their own. That is why their presence in the evidence can lead to the death of the swarm - they simply do not allow the bees to reproduce offspring.
As preventive measures it is necessary:
- ensure that evidence is clean and well cared for;
- periodically look at the cells to detect damage in time;
- to scare away the wax moth, hang dried wormwood, peppermint or orange peel near the evidence;
- The fire bite cannot penetrate through the central hole - other bees will not let it through, so care must be taken that there are no gaps in the hives through which it could get inside.
If, after all, the larvae or waste products of the wax moth were found in the hive, they must be collected. Damaged honeycombs must be treated with acetic acid or preparations specifically designed to combat wax moth.
Beneficial features
On whether the excrement of the wax moth larvae have healing properties, scientists are still arguing. It is incontrovertible that in the absence of other food the larvae begin to eat their own excrement and continue to develop further. But not only the wax moth is capable of this.
During the study of the waste products of the wax moth, some beneficial substances were actually found in them:
- Iridoids. They give the infusion of feces characteristic bitter taste.Similar substances are present in the composition of extracts of some plants. But in the fruits that are usually eaten there are none. Iridoids are able to reduce the level of harmful cholesterol, neutralize and promote the removal of toxins, activate the immune system.
- Steriods. Not the ones who use athletes to build muscle. But the substances contained in the PM are close to them in terms of their effects on the body. They enhance the metabolic processes, relieve pain and muscle tension. This feature has been used in the treatment of diseases affecting various muscle groups.
- Flavonoids. Substances that positively affect the entire body and the cardiovascular system in particular. They clean the walls of blood vessels from cholesterol plaques, prevent varicose veins and thrombosis, increase the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels. With regular admission greatly increase immunity.
But frankly, the concentration of nutrients, which contains the product of the life of the wax moth, is not too high compared with other beekeeping products and extracts of medicinal plants.Therefore, such a product has not yet appeared as a medicine on the shelves of pharmacy chains.
