“…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.

“…The scientific validity of this method is beyond questioning, as well as the use of the heterosis effect that allows to significantly increase the productivity of colonies if good cross-breed combinations are found. The success of such activities depends on access to biologically pure materials [1][2][3][4].…”

Morphological studies of honey bees in the northern wooded steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan

The article presents assessment results for the preservation of European dark honey bees in the northern wooded steppe zone of the Republic of Bashkortostan, which is an integral structure in the honey bee Apis mellifera mellifera population of northern Bashkortostan. Bee farms of 24 settlements in Askinskiy, Arkhangelskiy, Baltachevskiy, Karaidelskiy and Yanaulskiy districts show the persistence of taxonomically pure bees, which stands for 73 % of the samples. During the bee-breed identification, the most volatile parameters were determined (the length the rostrum, the length and width of the right hemelytron, the cubital index) that are greatly influenced by the hybridization processes. The presence of registered pure-breed bee colonies speaks of the biopotential of the European dark bee population in the farms of the given region, which will allow to create pedigree breeding units and pure breeding zones for native bees in the future.

The results of the morphological characterization of Apis mellifera drones are presented in order to identify the biopotential of the “clean” native population in bee yards in 12 regions of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The presence of Is, I, O morphotypes – dark and gray in drones, is established. The O morphotype (dark) corresponds to the Central Russian subspecies, and the drones characterized by the O color (gray) can be related to the subspecies with a gray color of abdominal terga. The analysis of morphometric features in drones is identified as Apis mellifera mellifera allowed to distinguish the following characteristics: O (dark) morphotype with brown (coffee hue) or black hairs color on the abdomen; proboscis length (average) – 3.81 ± 0.08 … 3.97 ± 0.03 mm, cubital index – 1.36 ± 0.07 … 1.45 ± 0.09, wing length (front right) – 11.98 ± 0.49…12.08 ± 0.45 mm, wing width (front right) – 3.72 ± 0.21 … 3.92 ± 0.23 mm, tergite length (third) – 2.90 ± 0.12 … 3.51 ± 0.01 mm, tergite width (third) – 6.40 ± 0.02 … 6.44 ± 0.04 mm, sternite length (third) – 2.62 ± 0.03 … 2.66 ± 0.05 mm, sternite width (third) – 4.52 ± 0.10 … 4.62 ± 0.07 mm, tarsal index – 49.59 ± 0.89 … 52.15 ± 1.93%.
