Abstract:

 





This research was
carried out to determine some reproductive characteristics such as larval
acceptance rate, length of queen cell, weight at emergence, mating rate and
pre-oviposition period of Caucasian race honey bee queens (Apis mellifera caucasica). It was
conducted in the province of Ardahan in the months of June, July and August
between the years of 2013-2015. In this study, Caucasian race bee colonies were
used. The larvae were grafted by the Doolittle’s method were given to the
starter colonies which were prepared without the queen. In terms of larva
acceptance rate, the difference between the years was found to be
insignificant, while the difference between the months was found significant
(P 0.05) while the effect of months was found to be
significant (P<0.01).
