Analysis of the Effects of Insulation of Hive by Plywood and Increase of Wood Diameter on the Population and Production of Honey

Naser Heidarzadeh, Orang Esteghamat

Abstract

An appropriate hive is one of the important factors in rising and preservation of bees. A suitable hive protects bee colonies against cold, heat and sun ray to decrease honey consumption, rapid growth of colony, increase of population, increase of collection of ambrosia, and more product. Selecting the best hive for raising honeybee, the number of newborns (colony population) and production of honey in the hives used by bee owners (common hive) and three types of insulated hives are analyzed. The diameter of the hive wood used by bee owners is two CM. The floor and ceiling of the hive is insulated by plywood, and for insulating the wall of the hive, this diameter of the wall wood increased to 3 and 4 CM. the results indicated that the insulation of wall and ceiling of the give with plywood increase the number of the newborns of the colony population to 40.6% in summer and production of honey to 20.5% though the increase of the diameter of the wood of the hived did not have any effect on the number of newborns of colony and honey production

Keywords: Honeybee, Internal Heat of Hive, Number of Newborns

Entomology and Applied Science Letters is an international double-blind peer reviewed publication which publishes scientific research & review articles related to insects that contain information of interest to a wider audience, e.g. papers bearing on the theoretical, genetic, agricultural, medical and biodiversity issues. Emphasis is also placed on the selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance. In addition to full-length research articles and reviews, the journal publishes interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance.

Associations

Entomology and Applied Science Letters supports the submission of entomological papers that contain information of interest to a wider reader groups e. g. papers bearing on taxonomy, phylogeny, biodiversity, ecology, systematic, agriculture, morphology. The selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance is also important. Distinguished entomologists drawn from different parts of the world serve as honorary members of the Editorial Board. The journal encompasses all the varied aspects of entomological research.
