Sažetak
Nosema disease is a microsporidian Nosema sp. parasitical disease that affects adult honeybees (Apis meliffera), which in adverse living conditions creates long living spores. The disease is widespread throughout the world, as is also in Croatia, and lies upon apiculture and homestead economy a great economical loss. EU and Croatian legislative regulations forbid the use of antibiotics for bee disease treatment. The justification in this is regarding the development of resistance towards used chemotherapeutics, reservation of the disease, possible recidive occurrences, as well as leftoffs of harmful agents (resudual) antibiotics, or their secondary metabolites in bee products. For these reasons exists a necessity for the production and use of natural based herbal preparations for the treatment of Nosema disease. The aim of this research was to test the performance of the herbal preparation „ Nozevit“ as a preventive measure against artificial infection due to N. apis spores, and it's effectiveness during the treatment of bees diseased of Nosema disease with the purpose of healing. Also, the midgut has undergone analysis by histological methods with the purpose of stating how the tested preparation functions.
