초록
Bumblebees are widely used to pollinate various crops,especially tomato, in greenhouses and fields. An artificial hibernation is essential for year-round rearing of the bumblebee, which passes through one generation per year. Here, we investigated whether a chilling temperature and humidity affect artificial hibernation of the bumblebee queen Bombus terrestris. In chilling temperature regimes of 0oC, 2.5oC, 5oC, 7.5oC or 12.5oC under constant humidity >70%, the queens stored at 2.5oC exhibited the highest rate of survival,which was 74.0% at one month, 67.0% at two months,60.0% at three months, 46.0% at 4 months, 33.0% at 5 months, and 24.0% at 6 months. Rates of survival decreased at the following temperatures: 0oC, 5oC,7.5oC and 12.5oC. Colony developmental characteristics after diapause were 1.2- to 1.5-fold higher than those of queens stored at 5oC. In terms of chilling humidity, the queens hibernated at 70% under 2.5oC exhibited the highest rate of survival, which was 93.3±3.4% at one month, 83.3 ± 0.0% at two months,76.7±0.0% at 3 months and 36.7± 12.1% at 5 months. The rates of oviposition, colony foundation and progeny-queen production of queens hibernated at 70%were 80.8%, 30.8% and 30.8%, respectively. These values correspond to 1.7- to 3.3-fold increases in comparison to queens stored at 50% humidity. Therefore,2.5oC and 70% R.H. were the favorable chilling temperature and humidity conditions for diapause break of B. terrestris queens.
Abstract
Bumblebees are widely used to pollinate various crops,especially tomato, in greenhouses and fields. An artificial hibernation is essential for year-round rearing of the bumblebee, which passes through one generation per year. Here, we investigated whether a chilling temperature and humidity affect artificial hibernation of the bumblebee queen Bombus terrestris. In chilling temperature regimes of 0oC, 2.5oC, 5oC, 7.5oC or 12.5oC under constant humidity >70%, the queens stored at 2.5oC exhibited the highest rate of survival,which was 74.0% at one month, 67.0% at two months,60.0% at three months, 46.0% at 4 months, 33.0% at 5 months, and 24.0% at 6 months. Rates of survival decreased at the following temperatures: 0oC, 5oC,7.5oC and 12.5oC. Colony developmental characteristics after diapause were 1.2- to 1.5-fold higher than those of queens stored at 5oC. In terms of chilling humidity, the queens hibernated at 70% under 2.5oC exhibited the highest rate of survival, which was 93.3±3.4% at one month, 83.3 ± 0.0% at two months,76.7±0.0% at 3 months and 36.7± 12.1% at 5 months. The rates of oviposition, colony foundation and progeny-queen production of queens hibernated at 70%were 80.8%, 30.8% and 30.8%, respectively. These values correspond to 1.7- to 3.3-fold increases in comparison to queens stored at 50% humidity. Therefore,2.5oC and 70% R.H. were the favorable chilling temperature and humidity conditions for diapause break of B. terrestris queens.
