The influence of capped and uncapped honeybee brood on quality of queen cells

Abstract

It was examined influence of capped and uncapped brood and four treatments of nourishment base on number and quality of queen cells. The results showed that the most larval acceptation was in group with capped brood and royal jelly nourishment base (66.65%) and the least was in group with uncapped brood and dry base. In the group with uncapped brood and royal jelly nourishment base was detected the most length, width and cubic of queen cells. The most depth of queen cells (20.49 mm) was in capped brood with water nourishment base.

U istraživanjima je ispitivan uticaj otvorenog i zatvorenog legla i podloge na kojoj su se larvice medonosne pčele razvijale, na broj i kvalitet dobijenih matičnjaka. Najveći procenat primljenih larvica bio je u varijanti sa zatvorenim leglom i mlečom kao podlogom (66,65%), dok je najmanji (18,3%) bio u grupi sa otvorenim leglom i bez podloge. Najveća dužina, širina i zapremina matičnjaka utvrđena je u varijanti sa otvorenim leglom i mlečom kao podlogom, dok je najveća dubina matičnjaka od 20,49 mm bila u zatvorenom leglu sa vodom kao podlogom za razvoj.
