effect of feeding pro bee diets (as protein supplement)on worker honey bees, body weight, protein and lipid storage(apis mellifera)
نویسندگان
چکیده
honey bees as other animal creatures require water and nutrients, including carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water for their maintenance, growth and reproduction. they normally obtain their nutritional requirements from flowers, but at times when there aren,t sufficient flowers available(fall, late winter and early spring) they need supplemental feeding to prevent their being weakened. in this study, four different pro bee diets in a completely randomized design of four treatments and five replications was performed in caged worker honeybees (apis mellifera). effects of nutritional treatments on carcass fat and protein levels (at different ages of 7, 14 and 21 days), the amount of feed intake (up to the end of test period), time and mortality rate were assessed. statistical results showed that the amount of feed intake and losses in different treatments are significantly different (p

effect of supplemental diets of corn gluten, soybean meal and bakery yeast on body weight, protein and fat percent in worker honey bees
honeybees like the other animal creatures require proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals vitamins and water for their maintenance, growth and reproduction. normally they obtain their nutritional requirements from flowers but there are times when there aren’t sufficient flowers within reach they become in need of supplemental feeding. some such nutritional substances as soybeans, glutens, yeast...
متن کاملAfricanized honey bees more efficiently convert protein diets into hemolymph protein than do Carniolan bees (Apis mellifera carnica).
The superiority of Africanized over European honey bees in tropical and subtropical regions of the New World is both well documented and poorly understood. As part of an effort to try to understand the process by which the displacement of European bees occurred, we examined the ability of these two types of bees and of hybrids between the two to convert natural and artificial diets into usable ...

متن کاملStarving honey bee (Apis mellifera) larvae signal pheromonally to worker bees
Cooperative brood care is diagnostic of animal societies. This is particularly true for the advanced social insects, and the honey bee is the best understood of the insect societies. A brood pheromone signaling the presence of larvae in a bee colony has been characterised and well studied, but here we explored whether honey bee larvae actively signal their food needs pheromonally to workers. We...
متن کاملeffect of different levels of vitamin c on queen laying rate and body protein percentage of worker in honey bee colonies (apis mellifera l.)
role of vitamins in bee nutrition is very important especially in case of supplemental feeding with sugar and pollen substitutes. in this experiment effects of different levels of vitamin c on the rate of queen lying and workers body protein were studied. experimental colonies had the same age queens and the same population (5 frames). this study was held at april and july 2011 in three levels ...
متن کاملThe effect of diet on protein concentration, hypopharyngeal gland development and virus load in worker honey bees (Apis mellifera L.).
Elucidating the mechanisms by which honey bees process pollen vs. protein supplements are important in the generation of artificial diets needed to sustain managed honeybees. We measured the effects of diet on protein concentration, hypopharyngeal gland development and virus titers in worker honey bees fed either pollen, a protein supplement (MegaBee), or a protein-free diet of sugar syrup. Wor...
