Correlation Between the Strength of Colony, the Honey Area and Pollen Area of the Observed Lines of Yellow Honey Bee in Vojvodina

Abstract

ABSTRACTThe aim of this work is to determine correlation connection between the strength of colony, the honey area and pollen area in the four observed lines of yellow honey bee in Vojvodina. Technique is based on an assessment of the amount of bees, honey and pollen at 20 bee's collonies, three times per year, in the two years. Based on the results it can be concluded that the greatest degree of interaction is achieved between the quantity of bees and quantity of pollen (R2 = 0,48); while the lowest interaction was recorded between the quantity of pollen and the amount of honey (R2 = 0,13).
