The Influence Of Colony Populations On Honey Production

Two ultimate objectives form the basis of the beekeeper's business, namely, the production of a crop and the conversion of that crop into money. The amount of honey produced per colony has an even greater significance in determining profits than the market price received for the honey.

Progeny Testing And Selecting Italian Queens For Brood Area And Honey Production

Progeny testing of selected queens, being part of the improvement project of Italian bees in Israel, was carried out between 1962 and 1974 at the Bee Breeding Apiary of the Ministry of Agriculture at Zerifin. Honey production and brood area of 562 and 499 bee colonies, respectively, were recorded.

Opportunities And Challenges Of Honey Production In Gomma District Of Jimma Zone, South-West Ethiopia

The study was conducted in Gomma district Southwest Ethiopia to assess the various opportunities and constraints of beekeeping in the area. For this study, 6 Peasant Associations (PAs) were selected using a systematic random sampling technique and interviewed using pre-tested structured questionnaires.

Honey Production Of Honey Bee Colonies Infested With Acarapis Woodi (Rennie)

The honey production of Apis mellifera colonies infested with Acarapis woodi (Rennie) was monitored in northeastern Mexico. After 31 days of a citrus nectar flow, lightly (< 5.0%), moderately (39.8%), and heavily (86.7%) infested colonies produced on average 24.1, 11.5, and 3.2 kg of surplus honey, respectively.

Effect Of Brood Production And Population Size On Honey Production Of Honeybee Colonies In Alberta, Canada

Honey production of 23 honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies was recorded for 2 consecutive years. Brood areas and colony populations were measured during the honey flow. . The mean honey production was 120.2 kg per colony, varying from 60.9 to 210.8 kg.

A Comparative Study Of Foraging Behavior And Pollen Resources Of Various Sting-Less Bees (Hym., Meliponinae) And Honeybees (Hym., Apinae) In Trinidad, West-Indies

A comparative palynological analysis of pollen resources of various stingless bees and honeybees revealed a considerable overlap of pollen spectra of these bees. However, certain pollen types were of different importance to the various bee species. Colonies of the same Melipona species had a very similar spectrum. The widths of the pollen spectra of the different bee species appeared more related to the natural population size of the colony than to the body size of the bees.

Kiwifruit Flowers: Anther Dehiscence And Daily Collection Of Pollen By Honey Bees

The study was conducted during the 1983 and 1984 flowering seasons in a kiwifruit orchard in Kumeu, north-west of Auckland. The orchard comprised c. 12 ha of mature kiwifruit vines and was surrounded by kiwifruit orchards and several market gardens.

Important Bee Plants For Stingless Bees (Melipona And Trigonini) And Africanized Honeybees (Apis Mellifera) In Neotropical Habitats: A Review

This paper reports on pollen and nectar sources for stingless bees in neotropical habitats. Some 288 species were considered important bee plants. Eighty of these were important for the Africanized honeybee. Plant families with the largest number of important species for both bee groups are also among those with the greatest diversity in neotropical regions.

Bees Get A Head Start On Honey Production

Nectar concentration is assumed to remain constant during transport by honeybees between flowers and hive. We sampled crop contents of nectar foragers on Aloe greatheadii var. davyana, a major winter bee plant in South Africa

Alternative Pollinator Taxa Are Equally Efficient But Not As Effective As The Honeybee In A Mass Flowering Crop

The honeybee Apis mellifera is currently in decline worldwide because of the combined impacts of Colony Collapse Disorder and the Varroa destructor mite. In order to gain a balanced perspective of the importance of both wild and managed pollination services, it is essential to compare these services directly, a priori, within a cropping landscape. This process will determine the capacity of other ï¬‚ower visitors to actas honeybee replacements.

Declines Of Managed Honey Bees And Beekeepers In Europe

Beekeeper numbers have declined in all of the European countries examined. Our data support the view that honey bees are in decline at least in some regions, which is probably closely linked to the decreasing number of beekeepers.

Multiple Routes Of Pesticide Exposure For Honey Bees Living Near Agricultural Fields

Populations of honey bees and other pollinators have declined worldwide in recent years. A variety of stressors have been implicated as potential causes, including agricultural pesticides. Neonicotinoid insecticides, which are widely used and highly toxic to honey bees, have been found in previous analyses of honey bee pollen and comb material. However, the routes of exposure have remained largely undefined.
