| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out to evaluate the following aims : 1 - What honeybee workers do to queen cells ready to successful caging, comparison between caging queen cells inside the normal cage and queen-excluder-cage, after sealing directly, in the colony . 2 – Evaluation ofthe best day for caging inside the normal cage after queen cells sealing directly . 3 – Patterning which honeybee workers do to wax layer removal of queen cells from on queen emergence slot and evaluation this in the incubator bycomparison between incubation in the colony and incubator with handling removal of this new way. The results showed that caging inside queen-excluder-cage was better than the caging inside the normal cage, after queen cells sealing directly, in the colony. Also, the results appeared that the best day for the caging was after four days from sealing of queen cells. The experiments clearing that the honeybee workers removed wax layer of queen cell from on queen emergence slot with 6 – 9 mmcircular. Using handling method in removing this layer on the queen cells inside incubator, after sealing directly, gave the same. Thereby the colonies could be used for queen rearing cells only. This way gave two batch instead of one batch in the same time, the production become duple comparing with all normal ways. | ||
