| Summary, etc. | With a view to generate detailed basic information on the biology, biometrics <br/>and natural enemies of Indian and Italian bees in Kerala an experiment was carried out <br/>at the Apiary of Kcrala J\gricultural University, College of J\gricultUf'e, Vcllayani, lrom <br/>September 1995 to August 1996. The yellow strain of Italian bees, Apis mellifera <br/>linguistica L and Indian bees Apis ceraua indica were used for the study. An abstract <br/>of the result is given below. <br/>III all the castes the egg period took almoxt :1 days The larval period of 11. <br/>niellifera workers ranged from 582 to 5.93 days, the pupal period ranged from 10.55 <br/>to 11.15 days and total developmental period from 19.6 to 20.66. The larval period of <br/>drones took 6.96' to 7. 17 days, pupal period took 13. 14 to 13.28 days and total <br/>developmental period took 23.54 to 25.53 days. The mean larval period of A. cerana <br/>indica workers varied nom 5.86 to 5.91 clays, pupal period varied from 1017 to 10.20 <br/> <br/><br/> <br/>days and total developmental period varied from 18.89 to 19.11 days <br/> <br/><br/>The larval <br/> <br/><br/> <br/>period of drones ranged lrom 6.95 to 7.09 days, pupal period ranged Irom 12.99 to <br/>13.23 days and total developmental period ranged from 2277 to 23J4 days The mean <br/>larval, pupal and total developmental period in case of A tnellifcra queens were 4.66, <br/>7.2 and 14.54 days and in case of A. cerana indica 484, 7.12 and 14.74 days <br/>respectively. <br/>The egg size of different castes of both the bees remained the same throughout <br/>the egg period. The sizes (length x breadth) of I, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days old worker larvae <br/> <br/>------------ <br/>were 2.06 x 0.59,4.67 x 1.22, 7.63 x 2.41, 10.58 x 3.64 and 13.75 x 5.01 for A. <br/>mellifera and 1.93 x 0.55, 5.46 x 1.78, 7.98 x 2.34, 7.98 x 3.79 and 8.81 x 4.22 mm <br/>for A. cerana indica respectively. The sizes of larvae increased from 3.4 x 0.83 mm in <br/>the very first day of hatching to 16.68 x 7.21 mm in the sixth day in drones of A. <br/>mellifera and from 2.58 x 0.7 mm to 11.75 x 6.97 mm in case of drones of A. cerana <br/>indica. The size increase continued upto first day after capping in both the castes. <br/>Mean average eggs laid by A. mellifera ranged from 162 in December to 7] 8 in <br/>August. The average annual performance was 184430 eggs. A. cerana indica queens <br/>laid on an average 247 eggs daily and 88086 eggs in an year. <br/>The mean longevity of A. mellifera workers ranged from 28.22 days for April <br/>10 born bees to 30.97 days for June 16 born bees. The longevity of A. cerana indica <br/>workers ranged from 33.46 days for April 11 born bees to 33.32 days for June 16 born <br/>bees. The mean longevity of A. cerana indica drone bees born on April 11 was 34.58 <br/>days. <br/>Among the natural enerrues, hornets, mite, bee eater birds and death head <br/>moths were observed in A. mellifera colonies. Hornet (Vespa orientalis)attack was <br/>more during May to December between 7 AM and 10 AM of the day. Few wax <br/>moth (Galleria mellonellai larvae were observed during brood rearing season though <br/>no damage was noticed. Death head moth ( Acherontia sryx) were observed from <br/>September to November. Brood mite (Tropilaeps darae) was observed throughout <br/> <br/>the year though it was more severe during major brood rearing season. The bee eater <br/>birds (Merops orientalis) were seen active during the months of October to February. <br/>In A. cerana indica colonies hornets, wax moth and Thai sac brood disease <br/>were observed. Hornet and wax moth incidence followed the same pattern as in A. <br/>mellifera. Thai sac brood virus disease was more severe during September to <br/>November. <br/><br/> |
