BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WORKING BEES FAMILY WITH DIFFERENT BEHAVIOR HYGIENE

Abstract

A comparative study of the anatomical and physiological characteristics of bees (the concentration of protein in the hemolymph of bees, the degree of pharyngeal glands and fat body) in families with high and low hygienic behavior during four periods of active beekeeping season. We found that the concentration of protein in the hemolymph of bees in families with high resolution sanifying their nests during the season to 6.35-15.8 % higher compared with families with lower hygienic behavior. No significant difference observed levels of body fat and pharyngeal glands of bees in both groups of bees .
