摘要: The reproductive rate of unmanaged European honeybee races was studied in Kansas, U.S.A. Colonies produced a mean 3.6 daughter colonies per original queen during one year. This high largely due to the frequent occurrence afterswarms, factor not adequately considered previous studies. afterswarming influenced by at least two factors: amount sealed brood (pupae) colony and season when swarming occurred. Factors which may influence survival subsequent reproduction prime swarms afterswarms are discussed.
