Abstract:

To estimate the relationship between honey yield and some of the morphological characters, five queen-daughters from each of 30 queen-mothers were studied. The queen-mothers were selected randomly from the apiary of Research Center of Animal Science and Natural Resources in Isfahan Province. Summer honey yield was measured from the difference of honey comb before and after honey extraction while fall honey production was calculated from area of sealed honey combs. Morphological characters were recorded using a stereodissecting microscope fitted with a calibrated micrometer reticule according to Ruttner’s procedures. The mean of honey yield for a year was estimated to be 10.05 kg. Phenotypic correlations between yearly honey production and summer and fall honey productions were estimated to be 0.49 and 0.88, respectively, while the correlation between summer and fall honey yields was low (0.019). There were significant correlations between summer honey yield with cubital-b index, tibia length and forewing width (0.28, 0.27 and 0.25, respectively). Also there were significant correlations between metatarus width with total and fall honey yields (0.22 and 0.23, respectively). Genetic correlations between metatarus length and cubital index with summer honey yield were negative (-0.75 and -0.45, respectively). It may be concluded that due to the high correlation between summer honey production and total honey yield, one could improve yearly honey production by selecting on the basis of summer yield of colonies. Among morphological traits, metatarus length, forewing width and cubital index could be used in the breeding plan in order to increase honey yield.

In order to estimate the heritability of morphological characters of worker honey bee and honey yield, 30 queen-mothers were selected randomly from the apiary of Research Center of Animal Science and Natural Resources in Isfahan Province. From each queen-mother, five queen-daughters were reared and introduced to equalize colonies after natural mating of queens. Summer honey yield was measured, ...

هم بستگی فنوتیپی میان صفات مورفولوژیک و صفات تولیدی در توده زنبوران عسل استان تهران

برای تعیین هم بستگی فنوتیپی شماری از صفات ظاهری و تولیدی در توده زنبور عسل استان تهران، تعداد 130 کلنی از ده زنبورستان و چهار منطقه (دماوند، کرج و ساوجبلاغ، تهران و قم) به طور تصادفی انتخاب شد. صفات تولیدی شامل میزان عسل استخراجی (wh)، میزان جمع آوری گرده (wp) و میزان موم بافی (ww) در محل زنبورستان ها اندازه گیری شد. صفات ظاهری شامل طول بال جلو (fl)، عرض بال جلو (fb)، ایندکس کوبیتال (ci)، طول پ...
