Abstract:The process of artificial and natural insemination was carried out on the queen bees of the local and Carniolan strains in order to study their hygienic behavior and the Pricking method for the strains, as well as the cross-insemination results between them. The study results showed that the local honey bee strain T1 outperformed the other studied strains in its hygienic behavior, as the detection rate of the dead brood by Pricking was (44.16, 93.16, and 100) % respectively, after (1, 6, and 24) hours of condu… Show more
