| dc.description.abstract | Experiments were conducted at the apiaries of Nelamangala taluk of Banglore district. Use of artificially made 9 mm diameter queen cell cups resulted in maximum acceptance of grafted larvae (66.67 per cent), emergence of queens (60.42 per cent). Virgin queens were of superior quality with respect to body weight (134.15 ± 0.07 mg), body length (14.97 ± 0.01 mm) and other morphometric characters. Cups smeared with royal jelly showed highest acceptance of grafted larvae (72.50 per cent), emergence of queens (65.00 per cent) and also, the morphometric characters of the virgin queens in addition to body weight (133.79 ± 0.20 mg) and body length (14.91 ± 0.03 mm) were found best. Grafting one day old larva was found ideal as it resulted in higher acceptance of grafted larvae (71.43 per cent) and emergence of queens (64.28 per cent) and the quality of the virgin queens with respect to body weight (134.47 ± 0.26 mg), body length (14.99 ± 0.03 mm) and other morphometric characters were found superior. Double grafting method of larva for queen rearing was found the best as it resulted in superior quality queens with good body weight (143.39 ± 0.47 mg), body length (15.91 ± 0.08 mm) and other morphometric characters and highest acceptance of grafted larvae (74.28 per cent) and emergence of queens (66.43 per cent). | en_US |
