Abstract

Dodologlu, A. and Gene, F. 2003. Comparison of some features of queens reared from different honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) genotypes. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 24:105–109.

Four groups of queens were reared by Doolittle method from Caucasian and Anatolian honeybees and their crossbreds using artificial insemination. The yield of grafting, period up to pre-oviposition, queen weights in the pre- and post-oviposition periods were analyzed and compared. The inseminated larvae of each genotype were equally accepted. The queens from the pure- breed Anatolian genotype began oviposition later than Caucasian queens and differences among the groups in terms of pre- and post-oviposition weights of the queens were not significant.
