Beekeeping products have always been very much appreciated, because they contain a huge amount of vitamins necessary for the human body. But not many people know that not only honey and propolis are useful, but also the bees themselves. A large number of tinctures and ointments are prepared from them, which can help in the fight against many diseases. The features of bee subpestilence and its benefits will be discussed in this article.
What is bee killing?
The bee family is a very developed cell, but they do not have a way to dispose of their brethren. At the end of its life cycle, which lasts 30–40 days during the collection period of nectar, the bee dies and falls to the bottom of the hive. Over time, at the bottom of the bee’s house, a large number of dried up bodies are collected, which are called bee subpestilence (PP).Beekeepers conditionally divide PP into several species, depending on the season of the bee's death: autumn, winter and spring-summer, respectively.
The most useful and demanded is the winter frost (autumn), since the bees that lived and worked in August contain the largest amount of nutrients. From such a PP and make tinctures for oral administration. From spring bees, it is desirable to produce exclusively ointments and infusions only for external use.
Important! The most massive mortality in a bee is observed in March-April, as well as with the so-called generational change.
This product is very close to propolis in terms of useful properties, and even to honey, so beekeepers very carefully monitor the condition of their flying pets.
The chemical composition and calorie content of bee subpestilence
The exact chemical composition of PP does not exist due to the fact that the final product depends on a large number of factors: season, family habitat, weather, plants used by the bee and others. However, there are approximate estimates, which are considered to be average.
So, the chemical composition of PP:
- protein and protein compounds - from 45% to 55%;
- melanin - from 15% to 25%;
- chitin - from 10% to 13%;
- various trace elements and other substances - from 2% to 10%;
- water - up to 10%.
