Rayna Singhvi Jain aine obuzibu bw’okuhurira enjuki. Obusaasi bw’amaani omu kuguru bukamuremesa kukora kumara wiiki nyingi.
Kwonka ekyo tikiremeise omushuubuzi w’emyaka 20 omu by’obutegyeki aha murimo gwe gw’okujuna ebinyonyi ebi ebikuru ebirikureeta obujuma, ebibaire nibikyendeera kumara emyaka mingi.
Ebicweka nka 75 ahari igana eby’ebirimwa by’ensi yoona nibirugiirira, haakiri omu kicweka kimwe, aha bihingwa ebirikureeta obujuma nk’enjuki. Okugwa kwabyo nikubaasa kugira akakwate kakuru n’eby’obuhangwa byaitu byona. Jane akagira ati: “Turi aha erizooba ahabw’enjuki.” "Nibo mugongo gw'eby'obuhingi bwaitu, ebimera byaitu. Ahabwabo twine eby'okurya."
Jane, muhara w’abafuruki Abahinda abaatuura omu Connecticut, naagira ngu abazaire be bakamwegyesa kusiima amagara n’obu gaakuba gari makye. Agumize ngu omunju yaaba harimu ekicuncu, nibaija kumugambira ngu agitware aheeru kibone kubaho.
N’ahabw’ekyo Jane ku yaataayaayiire omwanya gw’okuriisizamu enjuki omu mwaka gwa 2018 akareeba omurundo gw’enjuki ezifiire, akagira ekihika ky’obuzaarwa ky’okwenda kumanya ekirikubaho. Eki yaashangire kikamutangaaza munonga.
”Okukyendeera kw’enjuki nikuruga omu bintu bishatu: obukooko oburikureeta endwara, emibazi y’okurwanisa obukooko n’okurya kubi,” Samuel Ramsey, omuhangu omu by’enjuki omu itendekyero ry’eby’amagara aha yunivasite ya Colorado Boulder nikwo arikugira.
Omuri Ps ishatu, ekirikukirayo kureetaho obukooko obu n’ebizimba, Ramsey naagira ngu, namunonga ekika ky’ebizimba ebirikwetwa Varroa. Kikabanza kuzoorwaho omuri America omu mwaka gwa 1987 kandi hati nikibaasa kushangwa haihi omu buri kishaka omu ihanga ryona.
Ramsey omu kucondooza kwe akareeba ngu obukooko obu niburya ebihaha by’enjuki, ekirikuzireetera kukwatwa obukooko obundi, ekirikushiisha amaani gazo g’okurwanisa endwara n’obushoboorozi bwazo bw’okubiika ebiriisa. Obukooko obu nibubaasa n’okujanjaaza obukooko oburikwita, kuremesa okuguruka, kandi bwanyima bureete okufa kw’ebinyonyi byona.
Jain ahabw’okuhimbisibwa omwegyesa we owa sayansi omu ishomero rya siniya, akatandika kusherura emiringo y’okumaraho oburwaire bwa varroa mite omu mwaka gwe ogw’okubanza. Bwanyima y’okugyezaho munonga, akaija na HiveGuard, ekikwato ekihandiikirwe omu 3D ekirimu omubazi gw’ebimera ogutarikureeta obutwa ogurikwetwa thymol.
“Enjuki ku erikuraba omu muryango, thymol neesiiga omu mubiri gw’enjuki kandi ekicweka ekirikuhererukayo nikiita obukooko bwa varroa kwonka enjuki esigaho etaine kabi koona,” Jane nikwo arikugira.
Abariisa b'enjuki barikuhika 2,000 batwire nibagyezaho ekikwato eki kuruga omu kwezi kwa kashatu 2021, kandi Jane aine entebeekanisa y'okukishohoza omu butongore aha muheru gw'omwaka ogu. Ebihandiiko ebi yaatungire kuhitsya hati nibyoreka okukyendeera kwa 70% omu kukwatwa obukooko bwa varroa mite bwanyima ya wiiki ishatu z’okutaho obukooko obu hatariho kabi koona akagambirweho.
Thymol n’ebindi bihingwa ebiri omu buhangwa nka oxalic acid, formic acid, na hops nibiteebwa omunda y’ekishaka omu bipande nari omu bidomora omu bwire bw’okukora ebirikugyenda omu maisho. Hariho n’ebintu ebirikuhwera ebikozirwe abantu, okutwarira hamwe ebirikukora gye kwonka ebirikushiisha eby’obuhangwa, Ramsey naagira. Naasiima Jane ahabw’obwengye bwe omu kuhanga ekyoma ekirikukizayo okukwatwaho kw’enjuki n’eby’obuhangwa obutakwatwaho.
Enjuki z’obuki nizimwe aha zirikukirayo kukora gye omu kureetaho obujuma omu nsi. Ebi barikutamu nibyetengyesa aha miringo y’ebijuma ebirikurenga 130, emboga n’ebihimba, otwariremu almonds, cranberries, zucchini na avocado. N’ahabw’ekyo omurundi ogundi ku oraarume omu apple nari okunywa omukaru gw’omukaru, byona nibiruga omu njuki, Jane nikwo arikugira.
Kimwe kya kashatu ky’eby’okurya ebi turikurya biri omu kabi ahabw’okugira ngu oburemeezi bw’embeera y’obwire nibuta amagara g’ebinyonyi n’enjuki omu kabi .
Ekitongore kya USDA nikiteekateeka ngu omuri America yonka, enjuki nizireeta obujuma bw’ebirimwa ebirikuhika obukaikuru 15 buri mwaka. Bingi aha birimwa ebi nibitunga obujuma bw’enjuki ezirikureebererwa ezirikutwarwa omu ihanga ryona. Ku kirikweyongyera kuba eky’obuguzi bwingi kurinda ebika by’enjuki, obuheereza obu nabwo nibweyongyera kuba obw’obuguzi bwingi, Ramsey akagira ngu, n’okukwatwaho okutari butoosha aha mihendo y’abaguzi.
Kwonka ekibiina ky’amahanga ageteeraine eky’eby’okurya n’eby’obuhingi nikirabura ngu omubaro gw’enjuki gwagumizamu nigukyendeera, ekirikukirayo obubi nikiija kuba eky’akabi munonga aha mutindo gw’eby’okurya n’obukuumi bwabyo.
HiveGuard n’omuringo gumwe gwonka ogu Jane arikukoresa ebiteekateeko by’obushuubuzi kushagika enjuki. Omumwaka gwa 2020, akatandikaho kampuni y'eby'okurya by'amagara eya Queen Bee, erikuguza ebyokunywa by'amagara ebirimu ebirungo by'enjuki nka obwoki hamwe na royal jelly. Buri cupa erikuguzibwa neebyarwa omuti gw’okureeta obujuma kurabira omu Trees for the Future, ekitongore ekitari ky’okutunga sente ekirikukorera hamwe n’amaka g’abahingi omu mahanga g’omu bukiizi-bwa-buryo bwa Sahara.
Jane akagira ati: “Amatsiko gangye makuru aha by’obuhangwa n’okugaruraho oburinganiza n’okutuura omu busingye n’obuhangwa.”
Nagira ngu nikibaasika, kwonka nikiija kwetengyesa okuteekateeka omu guruupu. Akongyeraho ati: “Abantu nibabaasa kwega bingi kuruga aha njuki nk’okwombeka kw’abantu.”
”Oku barikubaasa kukora hamwe, oku barikubaasa kuha obushoboorozi n’oku barikubaasa kwefeerereza ahabw’okutunguuka kw’obukoloni.”
