“…The reason why liquid substances are beneficial during queen rearing may be explained by the fact that these substances provide moisture, thus preventing dehydration of the grafted larvae (Laidlaw & Page, 1997;Emsen, Dodologlu, & Gene, 2003;Cobey, 2005). Royal jelly has been the most commonly tested grafting substrate in previous studies (Ebadi & Gary, 1980;Pickard & Kitner, 1983;Macicka, 1985;Gene, Emsen, & Dodologlu, 2005;Chhuneja & Gill, 2014), whose results for royal jelly have similarities and differences with those of this study. For example, Ebadi and Gary (1980) compared two grafting substrates, pure royal jelly and a mixture of 90% royal jelly and 10% pollen and found the highest rate of larvae acceptance with the royal jelly treatment (93.3%).…”

The need for the increased production of honey bee (Apis mellifera) queens has led beekeepers to use different substrates in artificial queen cups where larvae destined to become queens are deposited (grafting). However, not enough scientific evidence exists that indicates that this practice is useful and what substance offers the best results. This study was conducted to determine with the Doolittle queen rearing method the acceptance rate of larvae deposited on different substrates during grafting and to determine if the sugar content and pH of the substrates used affect the acceptance of larvae in cell builder colonies. The evaluated substrates were coconut water, apple nectar, royal jelly, cola soda and distilled water, plus control (without substrate). Grafted larvae of the six treatments were introduced into cell builder colonies and their acceptance verified after 72 h. Apple nectar provided the highest rate of larvae acceptance with 81.06%, followed by cola soda with 62.93%, coconut water with 60.90%, royal jelly with 57.82% and distilled water with 58.99%. The larvae acceptance rates of all substrates were significantly higher than the control, which had an acceptance rate of 47.04%. No significant relationship was found between the sugar content of the substrates and larvae acceptance. However, although not significant, a high negative correlation was found between the substrate pH and the number of accepted larvae (Rho = - 0.90, p = 0.07). These results suggest that the use of liquid acidic substrates during larvae grafting, in particular apple nectar, may increase the production of honey bee queens.

“…Bu yöntemde başlatıcı ve bitirici koloniler olarak aynı koloniler kullanılmıştır. Deneme kolonilerine balmumundan hazırlanmış 24'er ana arı yüksüğüne 6-12 saatlik larva aşılanmış çerçeveler verilmiştir 5 . Denemede 24 saatlik arı sütü hasat edilecek 1. gruptaki 8 koloniye 24 ana arı yüksüğü verilerek 8 kez aşılama ile toplam 1536 adet (24 yüksük x 8 koloni x 8 kez) aşılama, 48 saatlik arı sütü hasat edilecek 2. gruptaki 8 koloniye 24 ana arı yüksüğü verilerek 4 kez aşılama ile toplam 768 adet (24 yüksük x 8 koloni x 4 kez)aşılama ve 72 saatlik arı sütü hasat edilecek 3. gruptaki 8 koloniye 2 kez aşılama ile toplam 384 adet (24 yüksük x 8 koloni x 2 kez) aşılama yapılmıştır.…”

Bu çalışmada, larva transferinden 24, 48 ve 72 saat sonra hasat edilen arı sütlerindeki bazı biyokimyasal değişimlerin ortaya konulması amaçlanmış ve arı sütünde temel şeker bileşenleri (fruktoz, glikoz ve sakkaroz), 10-HDA, nem ve kimi iz element analizleriyle bu değişimlerin arı sütü kalitesine olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada arılı, yavrulu ve ballı çerçeve sayısı bakımından eşitlenmiş (7 çerçeve kapalı kuluçka, 13-14 çerçeve ergin arı, 2 çerçeve bal ve polen) 24 adet bal arısı kolonisi kullanılmış, her biri 8 kovandan oluşan rastgele 3 grup oluşturulmuştur. Larva transferinden sonra 1.grupta yer alan kolonilerde 24 saat, 2. grupta yer alan kolonilerde 48 saat ve 3. grupta yer alan kolonilerde 72 saat sonra arı sütleri hasat edilmiştir. Deneme gruplarında hasat edilen arı sütleri için yapılan fruktoz, glikoz, sakkaroz, 10-HDA ve nem düzeyleri arasındaki fark önemli (P<0.05) bulunmuştur. Larva transferinden 72 saat sonra hasat edilen arı sütlerinde analiz edilen şeker bileşenlerinin, 10-HDA ve nem düzeylerinin, transferden 24 saat sonra hasat edilenlere göre artış gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Denemede arı sütünde yapılan iz element analizinde K, Na ve Cu elementleri için gruplar arasında önemli (P<0.05) fark bulunmuştur. K, Cu ve Fe iz elementleri için en yüksek değerler, larva transferinden 48 saat sonra hasat edilen arı sütü örneklerinde saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları arı sütünün biyokimyasal yapısının ve bazı iz elementler bakımından içeriğinin hasat zamanına göre değiştiğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu değişimlere göre, gelişen Dünya arı ürünleri pazarında arı sütüne ait uluslararası bir standardın geliştirilmesi için daha yoğun, özellikle "hasat zamanı" ibaresini de içeren standardizasyon çalışmaları yapılmalıdır.

“…Commercial propagation of queen honeybees is a laborious and timeconsuming process that would benefit greatly from the maximization of queen-cell acceptance in larval transplantation procedures or grafting (Laidlaw and Page, 1997). The design of queen cups can significantly affect both acceptance of grafting larvae and characteristics of the queens subsequently produced (Weiss, 1967a and b;Johansson & Johansson, 1978;Ebadi & Gary, 1980). For characterizes of brood pheromones and larvae presence into queen rearing colonies it help for increasing the acceptance of the queen cells, enhanced the amounts of royal jelly deposited by the worker, improved the weight of the larvae.…”

This study was carried out to evaluate the following aims : 1-What honeybee workers do to queen cells ready to successful caging, comparison between caging queen cells inside the normal cage and queen-excluder-cage, after sealing directly, in the colony. 2-Evaluation of the best day for caging inside the normal cage after queen cells sealing directly. 3-Patterning which honeybee workers do to wax layer removal of queen cells from on queen emergence slot and evaluation this in the incubator by comparison between incubation in the colony and incubator with handling removal of this new way. The results showed that caging inside queen-excluder-cage was better than the caging inside the normal cage, after queen cells sealing directly, in the colony. Also, the results appeared that the best day for the caging was after four days from sealing of queen cells. The experiments clearing that the honeybee workers removed wax layer of queen cell from on queen emergence slot with 6-9 mm circular. Using handling method in removing this layer on the queen cells inside incubator, after sealing directly, gave the same. Thereby the colonies could be used for queen rearing cells only. This way gave two batch instead of one batch in the same time, the production become duple comparing with all normal ways.
