Diagnosis: based on fact that bees have obstipation and consistent feces with no pathogen microorganisms (hemolyiph doesn't have pathogens either). Bees are aroused. Nosemosis and poisoning should be excluded with examination. Appears in spring (most often in may).
Pathoanatomical changes: solid dark feces in intestinum
Epizootology and etiology: Young bees require a lot of nutrition and water in their first days. if there is a disturbance in this balance this disorder appears. The majority of work for them is in the month of May, and at a same time that is the month when there is lots of rain present so bees are prevented from taking nutritients outside of the hive. The longer the the rain lasts - the bigger nutritive disbalance becomes. In the end all symptoms become apparent and if no measure is undertaken this disorder can severely affect the bee population, because of that it is important for the beekeaper to spot these changes on time and apply appropriate treatment in order to keep damages on minimum. Standard procedure also includes laboratory examinations in order to exclude other dangerous diseases like nosemosis. As said earlier poisoning should also be considered.

So to that end some amount of bees (between 30 and 100) is sent in laboratory for further examination. This disorder is present in all parts of the world, since it is not caused by any bacteria, virus or fungus it is not contagious and it is not considered that much of a threat as some other diseases are, but still care should be taken when handling this condition.
