Thermoregulation in colonies of Africanized and hybrids with Caucasian, Italian and Carniolan Apis mellifera honey bees
Thermoregulation in colonies of Africanized and hybrids with Caucasian, Italian and Carniolan Apis mellifera honey bees
This experiment was carried out to study the internal temperature regulation of a colony of Africanized honey bees (AFR), compared with hybrid Caucasian (CAU), Italian (ITA), and Carniolan (CAR) bees, during the period of one year and different size hives located in a sub-tropical region. The instant internal temperature, 33.7 +/- 1.5 degrees C for the AFR, 33.5 +/- 1.4 degrees C for the CAU, 33.7 +/- 1.5 degrees C for the ITA and 33.8 +/- 1.4 degrees C for the CAR, did not show any significant difference (P>0.05). The maximum temperature (36.1 +/- 2.3 degrees C) was statistically different (P0.05) in the mean internal temperature, between the nucleus (31.7 +/- 6.3 degrees C) and the brood nest (32.1 +/- 5.3 degrees C) measured between two and four o'clock in the afternoon.
