中蜂与意蜂无王群培育非自身蜂种蜂子及改造王台特性

以中华蜜蜂和意大利蜜蜂为试验材料,通过组织相应无王群,把一蜂种无王群中的子脾加入到另一蜂种无王群中,进行中蜂和意蜂无王群培育非自身蜂种蜂子和改造王台特性研究,当未培育出蜂王时,分别从原有王群中调入子脾进行第2、第3期试验。结果表明:中蜂无王群中的工蜂会清除引入意蜂子脾中的蜂卵,但随着引入意蜂子脾封盖子羽化出房的意蜂幼蜂数量增加而逐渐接受意蜂幼虫,蜂群未改造意蜂王台,只培育出中蜂蜂王;意蜂无王群中的工蜂会随着引入中蜂子脾中羽化出房的中蜂幼蜂数量增加而逐渐接受中蜂卵及幼虫,并从第2期试验开始会改造中蜂王台,但最终只培育出意蜂蜂王。

Emergency cells and breeding broods of the introduced Apis species in queenless colonies of Apis mellifera ligustiea and Apis cerana cerana

The behaviors of emergency cells and breeding broods of the introduced Apis species in queenless colonies of Apis meUifera ligustica （AML） and Apis cerana cerana （ACC） were investigated. The results showed that almost all of the eggs laid by the queen of AML were removed, and only a few larvae of AML were accepted as the quantity of AML workers was increasing. When the brood comb of AML was introduced to the queerrless colonies of ACC, the new queen of ACC was finally reared without emergency cell of AML in queenless colonies of ACC. The eggs and larvae of ACC would be accepted as the quantity of ACC workers was increasing while the emergency cells of both AML and ACC were made and the brood comb of ACC was introduced to the queenless colonies of AML, but only the new queen of AML was reared in queenless colonies of AML.
