Introduction: Sichuan is a major bee breeding Province in China, with an annual output of 450 tons of royal jelly, ranking first in China; an annual output of 30000 tons of honey, ranking second in China But a Chinese honey blowing from Germany is forbidden to enter the wind, which makes the beekeepers in Sichuan suffer "cold in the late spring" A gust of Chinese honey from Europe is forbidden to enter the cold wind, which cools the hearts of the hard-working beekeepers in Sichuan Chinese honey was found to contain chloramphenicol residues in Germany in February because the bees took the wrong medicine, which was rejected by the Germans Recently, the author learned from the provincial beekeeping management station and other departments that Sichuan beekeeping has taken urgent measures, among which the key is to change the varieties of medicine used to cure and prevent bee diseases, change western medicine into traditional Chinese medicine, and adopt the way of direct drug import to avoid the contact between medicine and bee products In this way, the problem of "chloramphenicol residue" in Chinese honey, which has become a hot topic in Europe, will be solved Why VTE bees need to take medicine: Sichuan Province is the largest bee breeding Province in China, with 960000 large-scale bee farms, of which the annual output of royal jelly is 450 tons, ranking first in China; the annual output of honey is 30000 tons, second only to Zhejiang Province, ranking second in China At present, honey has many problems, such as high water content, low maturity and even easy to deteriorate This is due to the excessive use of chloramphenicol and other antibiotics in bee colony disinfection and pest control It is understood that in the process of bee breeding, it is necessary to take appropriate preventive measures to ensure that bee products are free from any pollution In the flower picking season, honeybees are easy to be infected with putrefaction and rotting disease When bees are ill, certain drugs must be used, but there are strict requirements for the application process If the drugs cannot be directly sprinkled on the honeycomb skin, they are generally put in the feed of bees, that is, they are put in the sugar water for bees to drink, so that the drugs can be absorbed by bees and excreted; within one month after using the drugs, the bee products produced cannot be sold However, individual farmers only pay attention to the immediate interests Driven by the high-yield honey, the amount of medicine used is increasing, resulting in the decline of the bee's physique Therefore, chloramphenicol has become a commonly used medicine for bees If the drug is not administered according to the regulations, the direct result is that the drug residue exceeds the standard At the same time, there is no relevant quality and hygiene standard for "chloramphenicol residue" of bee products in the traditional breeding industry, which leads to farmers' neglect of "chloramphenicol residue" to some extent The prohibition from Germany undoubtedly poses a certain threat to the export prospect of bee products, and at the same time, it also warns the beekeeping industry of safety in production Sichuan Provincial breeding management station has issued a notice to farmers across the province prohibiting the use of Chlorotoxin, streptotoxin, tetracycline, Sulfanilamide and other antibiotic drugs At present, VTE Sichuan Province has adopted a set of effective methods to inhibit "chloramphenicol residues": in addition to strictly controlling the application time and method, it is the most effective, shortcut and safer method to replace chloramphenicol and other antibiotics with Coptis, phellodendron and other traditional Chinese medicines with the same effect In addition, in the aspect of bee product packaging, it is required to change it into non-toxic plastic barrel and non-toxic plastic bag without heavy metal pollution VTE has taught you a lesson: it is understood that in the export detection, the detection of food and drug residues usually involves "trace" and "trace" indicators smaller than "trace" China's honey exports generally adopt the "trace" standard, while EU countries use the "trace" standard to test imported honey products Beekeeping experts said that Germany's ban on bee products in China shows that our traditional production technology has led to habitual mistakes "The ban is a wake-up call for bee industry in Sichuan and even the whole country!" The expert said The ban not only says "no" to traditional beekeeping technology, but also exposes the lack of in-depth development and brand building of bee products Bee breeding industry is one of the potential sunrise industries in Sichuan Province, with an annual output value of more than 300 million yuan However, the current bee products only enter the market after simple concentration and packaging For example, royal jelly, due to low-cost labor and other factors, has a low product cost The retail price in the domestic market is generally only 200 yuan / kg However, the same product is exported to European Union countries, with other brands and new packaging, and the price immediately soars to 400 US dollars or even 1000 US dollars / kg VTE (author:) to feed Weibo to:
