Abstract

Investigated the survival of bees in different concentrations (1:10, 1:12, 1:14, 1:16) carboxylates food acids Cr, Mn, Se, Ge, Cu consisting of sugar syrup. It established that the use of food carboxylates acids in various doses reduces the life expectancy of bees. So, concentration carboxylates doses mg/10 ml – Cr (0.002, 0.0016, 0.0012), Mn (0.02, 0.016, 0.012), Se (0.002, 0.0016, 0.0012, 0.0008), Ge (0.012, 0.0096, 0.0072), Cu (0.02, 0.016, 0.012) causing death 46,6–63,5 % (P> 0.001) relative to controls. Concentration mg/10 mL Cr (0.0008) and Mn (0.008) death causes respectively 3 % and 4 bees. Concentration mg/10 ml Ge (0.0048) and Cu (0.008) causing the death of bees respectively 3,6 % (P>0.01) and 3,4 % (P>0.05) relative to controls.
