Bumblebees are important pollinators of crops and wildflowers. The Korean native bumblebee,Bombus ignitus , undergoes one generation per year, and induction of artificial hibernationis essential for year-round rearing of the bumblebee. Keeping queens under cold treatmentconditions for several mo is an effective method for terminating their diapause and promotingcolony development. In the present study, we investigated how the timing and duration ofchilling affect the artificial hibernation of B. ignitus queens. In the timing assessment, coldtreatment was instituted at 12 d, 40 d, or 100 d after eclosion under a constant temperatureof 5°C and 80% humidity. The queens that entered cold treatment at 12 d after emergenceevidenced the highest survival rates: 86.7% at two mo, 73.3% at three mo, and 46.4% at4 mo. Survival rates were reduced under storage conditions at 12 d, 40 d, and 100 d afteremergence. When queens were subjected to chilling at 8 d, 12 d, or 16 d after eclosion withconstant 80% humidity, the queens stored at 12 d after eclosion exhibited the highest survivalrates, which were 84.6 at one mo, 25.0% at two mo, and 7.9% at three mo. In regards to theduration of the cold period, the queens that hibernated for at least two mo evidenced optimalcolony development rates. The rates of oviposition, colony foundation, and progeny-queenproduction of queens hibernated for two mo were 60.0%, 30.0%, and 13.3%, respectively. These values were 6.0 to 13.3 times higher than those in the queens that hibernated for 15 d. Therefore, a cold period of at least 2 mo applied 12 d after emergence were found to be themost favorable conditions for diapause break inB . ignitus queens.
Abstract
Bumblebees are important pollinators of crops and wildflowers. The Korean native bumblebee,Bombus ignitus , undergoes one generation per year, and induction of artificial hibernationis essential for year-round rearing of the bumblebee. Keeping queens under cold treatmentconditions for several mo is an effective method for terminating their diapause and promotingcolony development. In the present study, we investigated how the timing and duration ofchilling affect the artificial hibernation of B. ignitus queens. In the timing assessment, coldtreatment was instituted at 12 d, 40 d, or 100 d after eclosion under a constant temperatureof 5°C and 80% humidity. The queens that entered cold treatment at 12 d after emergenceevidenced the highest survival rates: 86.7% at two mo, 73.3% at three mo, and 46.4% at4 mo. Survival rates were reduced under storage conditions at 12 d, 40 d, and 100 d afteremergence. When queens were subjected to chilling at 8 d, 12 d, or 16 d after eclosion withconstant 80% humidity, the queens stored at 12 d after eclosion exhibited the highest survivalrates, which were 84.6 at one mo, 25.0% at two mo, and 7.9% at three mo. In regards to theduration of the cold period, the queens that hibernated for at least two mo evidenced optimalcolony development rates. The rates of oviposition, colony foundation, and progeny-queenproduction of queens hibernated for two mo were 60.0%, 30.0%, and 13.3%, respectively. These values were 6.0 to 13.3 times higher than those in the queens that hibernated for 15 d. Therefore, a cold period of at least 2 mo applied 12 d after emergence were found to be themost favorable conditions for diapause break inB . ignitus queens.
