Breeding male bees for artificial insemination of queen bees in the conditions of Uzbekistan

Abstract

The article contains information on ways of raising male bees for artificial insemination of queen bees, quality indicators of male bees, changes in sperm fluid, color, quantity, and age. The control group was fed only with sugar syrup (1–1 ratio) in the early spring and was given every other day by 250 mg. Unlike other breeding animals, queen bees mate with several male bees in their lifetime and reproduce. Male bees meet only one queen bee and die. Fertilized queen bees are the successors of the female and male offsprings. When breeding male bees of a certain age, we placed bee frames with male bee offspring in special isolators, and upon their maturation, one-day weight was measured on electronic field scales and painted in special frames.
