Estudio de Dos Razas de Abejas (Apis Mellifica) y Tres Tipos de Colmenas en la Localidad de Chilumani (Prov. Chapare)
Abstract
In order to improve the diet of the comunarios of Chulumani, and to expect a better production of honeybee; it has been introduced the Apis mellífica cárnica queen in Apis mellífica scutellata colonies. It was also carried out comparative tests among beehives Langstroth, Schirmer and Dadant. The nucleus “S” was only used as an introduction of queens, and the nucleus “M” and “K” were utilized for the development of the colony (submúltiplos of the beehive Schirmer). The study was carried out totally at random with the experimental design with factorial arrangement, and the meaning of the comparative analysis it was determined by the test of Dunnett. As a result of the substitution of queens more docile colonies were obtained with yields of honey of 22-26 Kg/beehive; being the beehive Schirmer the one that gathered the best size, weight and geometric space similar to which the bees develop in natural form. This way, it has been obtained a technically and economically viable beekeeping with carniolan bees in beehives Schirmer.
Abstract (Spanish)
A objeto de incentivar la producción de miel de abeja y mejorar la dieta alimentaria de los comunarios de Chulumani, se realizó la introducción de reinas Apis mellifica cárnica en colonias Apis mellífica scutellata y pruebas comparativas entre colmenas Langstroth, Schirmer y Dadant. En la introducción de reinas se utilizó el núcleo “S”. Para el desarrollo de la colonia los núcleos “M” y “K” (submúltiplos de la colmena Schirmer). El estudio se realizó con el diseño experimental completamente al azar con arreglo factorial, y el análisis comparativo de significancia se determinó por la prueba de Dunnett. Como resultado de la sustitución de reinas se obtuvieron colonias más dóciles rindiendo de 22-26 Kg/miel/colmena; siendo la colmena Schirmer la que reunió las mejores condiciones de tamaño, peso y espacio geométrico semejante a la que desarrollan las abejas en forma natural. Obteniéndose de este modo una apicultura técnica y económicamente viable con abejas cárnicas en colmenas Schirmer.
