Abstract

The article discusses the possibility of immobilization of bees (introduction to a state of suspended animation) during the implementation of diagnostic and therapeutic measures in the apiary. Temperature conditions were found under which bees enter a state of suspended animation, established time intervals during which bees from suspended animation can be returned to a normal physiological state. Examples of the implementation of therapeutic measures carried out with bees in a state of suspended animation are given.
