N2  - In this study, the effect of the intracellular symbiotic bacterium Wolbachia on the search power, access time, and exit percentage of female (A), natural hermaphrodite (B), and antibiotic-treated hermaphrodite (CB) Trichogramma brassicae wasps was investigated in the laboratory and cold storage. The functional response test of these three populations to different densities of flour moth eggs was obtained from type II and no significant difference was observed between their search power (a) and access time (Th). Based on the results of short-term cold storage, the average total exit percentage of natural hermaphrodite, bacterially infected female, and antibiotic-treated hermaphrodite bees reared at 20 °C was significantly higher than that of 25 °C. However, during similar storage periods, all three populations were placed in common groups in terms of exit percentage without significant differences. According to the results of this study and previous findings, by providing optimal conditions for reproduction and maintenance of Wolbachia-infected lines, the use of unisexual bees can have a relative advantage compared to natural bisexual bees, which is discussed in this article.
