Résumé El En

ΔΕΝ ΔΙΑΤΙΘΕΤΑΙ ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

Bee venom was collected by electrical stimulation from Apis mellifera macedonica every six and twenty-four days respectively for two years. Collections were accomplished from April to October the first year, and from May to October the second year. The bee venom yield and the bees’ behavior like the aggressiveness, the number of dead bees on the collecting device and the hoarding behavior were studied. A great variation was found among the colonies regarding the collected amount of bee venom. The production was high in spring, decreased in summer and increased again in autumn in both years. Two different tests were used to study the defensive response of honeybees. The rhythmic reflux of a leather ball in front of the hive and the test of rating assay. Both tests showed that bees’ aggression did not significantly increase after collection. Furthermore, the aggressiveness of bees did not change during the period of collection. The average number of dead bees found on the wires of collecting device,was below 20 in each collection. Hoarding test indicates that no significant differences existed between before and after the stimulation of worker honey bee by electrical impulses.Τhe collection of BV did not affect brood and adult population of bees.
