The Effects of Different Pollen Trap Types Anddifferent Trapping Periods on The Performance of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera L.) Colonies

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effects of using two different polen traps for different periods in honey bee colonies on brood production, bee population, pollen and honey production. The experimental groups were set up as follows: Group I was pastoral trapped for 3 days at 3-day interval, Group II was drawer trapped for 3 days at 3-day interval, Group III was pastoral trapped for 6 days at 6-day interval, Group IV was drawer trapped for 6 days at 6-day interval and Group V (the control group) was untrapped. The results showed that the groups had average numbers of frames of bees as 11.3±0.37, 12.0±0.29, 10.9±0.22, 11.5±0.20 and 12.9±0.31 frames/colony; average brood areas as 4680.0±130.3, 5417.7±276.6, 4740.8±93.6, 5405.9±156.5 and 6469.0±246.7 cm2/colony; average honey production as 10.3±0.36, 11.5±1.75, 8.4±0.58, 10.0±0.69 and 16.3±2.19 kg/colony and total pollen production as 392.8±93.50, 1082.5±108.20, 366.6±32.05 and 889.5±99.10 g/colony, respectively. The effects of trap types on the number of frames with bees and on the amount of honey production were found nonsignificant while the effects on brood areas and pollen production were found significant (P<0.05). The effects of periods on the number of frames with bees, brood areas and honey production were found nonsignificant while its effect on pollen production was found significant (P<0.05). Trap x period interaction was found significant (P<0.05) for all traits.
