“…Figure 1 shows optical images from the body of the drones (abdomen, leg, and hair). The morphological structure of the body parts of the Apia mellifera drone is described in more detail in studies by Khan & Liu [36] and Gazizova et al [37]. To prepare the drone in powder form, the insects were frozen (after removing antennae, legs, and wings) and lyophilized in a freeze dryer (Martin Christ).…”

Two different levels (5 and 10%) of male honey bees (drones) in powder form were incorporated into wheat flour, and their impact on dough properties and on bread-quality characteristics were investigated. The incorporation of the drone powder to the wheat flour caused a decrease in the extensibility and energy of the dough in the extensograph and an increase in the dough’s maximum resistance with increasing levels of the added drone powder. The elongational viscosity values of the dough fortified with drone powder were significantly higher than those of the control wheat flour dough. The breads supplemented with 10% drone powder exhibited lower lightness (L*) values compared to the control bread. The addition of drone powder led to an increase in the total dietary fiber content and insoluble dietary fiber content in the fortified bread. Significant differences in the specific volume values were observed between the control bread and the corresponding ones with 10% drone powder. Upon storage, the moisture content of the crumb of the control bread and of the fortified breads were both significantly decreased, while the addition of the drone powder to the wheat flour bread increased the crumb hardness and gumminess but decreased the cohesiveness of the breads.

Morphometric characteristics of honey bees (length and width of wings, number of roots) depend on the environmental conditions (in particular, the temperature regime) in which individuals develop. The purpose of the study is to determine the distribution of honey bees and a comparative analysis of their morphometric indicators in various climatic zones of South-Eastern Kazakhstan. The main climatic zones of the studied territory were (1) Mountainous and (2) Foothill zones covering the Tien Shan Mountain system and characterized by cold, snowy winters and cool summers, (3) Steppe zone characterized by a continental climate, and (4) Desert zone. The wing data were compared with reference samples from the bee morphometric data bank in Oberursel, Germany. The resolution of the reference images was 1096 DOI. The reference sample for Apis mellifera carnica consisted of 10 colonies originating from Slovenia. The study was conducted on 12 farms bred in various zones of South-Eastern Kazakhstan, including a reference sample, according to 11 main morphometric characteristics of worker bees. The length of the proboscis ranges from 6.21±0.04 mm to 6.35±0.02 mm, while they do not differ from the control ones. The number of hamuli in the main samples averaged 19.6 pcs. compared with Kerbulak, Almaty 20.50±0.42 pcs. And the control group was 21.50±1.3 pcs. (p≤0.05). Differences on this basis between populations reach the first threshold of confidence probability (p>0.95). The range of the cubital index in all the studied groups ranges from 2.27±0.05, 2.74±0.07, the Hantel index was also dynamically within the normal range. According to the size of the centroids, a high degree of similarity was found between the entire population of honey bees of South-East Kazakhstan, with a degree between 858.40-887.77. The size of the centroid for the control samples was 662.82, which has too many differences from the population of honey bees in South-East Kazakhstan.

“…In many regions of the globe, currently, there is much concern about the death of bee colonies, which occurs as a result of a decrease in the level of adaptation of honey bees (Apis mellifera) to environmental factors, a high degree of their hybridization due to uncontrolled importation, environmental changes and the reduction of honey plants [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The presented facts lead to a gradual reduction in the global population of subspecies (Apis mellifera mellifera, Apis mellifera carpatica, Apis mellifera ligustica etc.)…”

The researches were conductedon queen bees of the Carpathian subspecies in conditions of Tajikistan. Four groups of similar families were formed, 10 in each group. In the control group, sugar syrup (1:2) was given as a stimulating feeding, in small portions of 700 ml. Bees of the first experimental group were fed with the sugar syrup, with the addition of drone larvas’ homogenate. The second group was fed with the sugar syrup with addition of a feed mixture “Similak”, the third group - sugar syrup with the addition of a compositional form consisting of a feed mixture “Similak” and the drone larvas’ homogenate. In the experimental groups, in contrast to the control group, an increase in the egg production of queen bees and the brood breeding reflex by 1.3-1.44 times was found.In general, it has been established that to stimulate the physiological processes in bee’ organism, growth and development of colonies in spring, it is necessary to use stimulating feeding by sugar syrup in combination with drone larvas’ homogenate and feed mixture “Similak” 700 ml each.
