EFFECT OF ACCESS OF WORKER BEES TO SEALED QUEEN CELLS ON SOME MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS OF THE PRODUCED VIRGIN QUEENS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2007 In this work the effect of the exposure time of the sealed queen cells to the worker bees was investigated. For this purpose two Carniolan bee colonies were chosen, one being the mother of the queen larvae and the other as rearing colony.

EFFECT OF SOME POLLEN SUBSTITUTES ON BROOD REARING ACTIVITY AND QUEEN PRODUCTION OF HONEYBEE COLONIES [PDF]
Journal of Productivity and Development, 2006 Wheat germ, dried brewer's yeast and defatted soybean flour were offered, in form of cake (paste), as pollen substitutes to honeybee colonies. The effect of such feeding on brood rearing activity and queen production were investigated during 2003/2004 ...
