山西省火红熊蜂生物学特性观察

对山西五台山地区火红熊蜂的生物学特性和生活史进行连续观察,发现了火红熊蜂的年生活史:每年5月中旬越冬存活的蜂王陆续出蛰,大约取食2周后开始产卵;6月中旬第1批工蜂出房,并参加巢内各种工作,6月下旬蜂王开始产下第1批未受精卵;7月下旬雄蜂出房,8月中旬新一代的蜂王开始出房,出房后8～10 d性成熟,8月下旬在合适的天气出巢飞行进行交配;10月上旬交配成功的蜂王开始在选定的洞穴内进入休眠越冬状态。了解和掌握火红熊蜂的生物学特性和生活史,对火红熊蜂的人工饲养和繁育具有重要意义。

The Biological Observation to Bombus pyrosome Morawitz in Shanxi Province

By continuous observation of biological characteristics and life history of Bombus pyrosoma Morawitz in area of Wutai Mountains in Shanxi, its annual life history has been found. Bombus pyrosorne Morawitz queen emerges from hibernation in every mid-May and begins to lay eggs two weeks later. The first batch of bee workers appears in mid-June and does works in the nest.
