The effects of different industrial sugars on royal jelly production

In this study, the larvae acceptance rate and royal jelly yield in honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies supplemented with different industrial sugars at locations were determined. For purpose, feeding groups (1. Sucrose group, 2. Glucose 3. Bee feed syrup 4. Control group) Battalgazi, Doğanşehir) formed. queenless that produce jelly, order to sustain 5-15 day-old young feeder worker bees, two sealed frames brood from support added. The was harvested seven times. Based on location, groups, location x interaction, 12600 grafted, 9054 accepted, determined as 71.86%. group per cell calculated 213.15 ± 11.53 mg/cell, colony 6.88 0.38 g/col./app., total 34.40 1.91 g/colony. no statistically significant difference between sucrose, bee supplementary glucose. On other hand, it where produced affected both yield.
