Abstract

Dodologlu, A. and Emsen, B. 2007. Effects of larvae transfer conditions on queen bee productivity. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 31: 181–182.

In this study, the Doolittle method was used to examine the effects of transfer conditions (a tent, a caravan and a hygienic grafting room) of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) larvae on queen bee productivity. The higher larvae acceptance rate was obtained in the hygienic grafting room. Also better results for the heights of sealed queen cells, queen weights and shortest pre-oviposition period based on grafted larvae were observed in the same transfer room. The hygienic grafting room is suggested to rear high quality queen bees.
