The Maturity and Semen Quantity Inside Endophallus of Collected Drones Apis mellifera l. in Different Conditions Under the Egyptian Environment
The bee drones have an important role for bees such as mating with the queen in the mating season. Here is, the drones reared in March and April then they start to go out of colonies in May and collected them through (May –June –July and August) in two difference periods of time (13.30 h -14.30 h and 15.30 h -16.30 h) under different weather condition. Then measure these entire factors and their effects on maturity of drones and amount of produced semen. Highest total average number of mature drones was 24.00±13.36 drone with the biggest amount of semen 14.50±11.02 µl and for one mature drone was 0.552±0.142 µl / mature drone in July. In addition, the highest average number of mature drones was 23.00±5.75 drones through the period of time 15.30 h – 16.30 h with the biggest amount of semen 13.00±4.68 µl and 0.540±0.090 µl / one mature drone. The correlation between temperature and mature drones indicated that the significant effect was R2 = 0.157 and P = 0.045, and between temperature and semen quantity was R2= 0.153 and P = 0.048. The correlation between humidity and mature drones was R2= 0.249and P = 0.009 also between humidity and semen quantity was R2 = 0.237 and P = 0.012. In addition for the wind speed was found that the significant effect on mature drones was R2 = 0.226, and P = 0.014) and for quantity of semen was R2= 0.215 and P = 0.017.
