Search for Alternative Methods for Stimulating Bumblebee Queen of Bombus terrestris L. During Laboratory Rearing.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Laboratory-reared queens need to be stimulated to oviposition by external stimuli. The most common method includes social stimulation by male cocoons, contact with a worker, and contact with another queen. In the first part of this study, the possibilities to replace a live cocoon with cocoon imitations and to increase success by adding smell stimulus of live cocoons were surveyed. Seventeen variants were tested in 4 experiments. The best results were achieved with stuffed male cocoons, but wool and polystyrene cocoons were also used. Although these cocoons were able to trigger continuous incubation behavior, not even a monthly incubation of these imitations initiated oviposition. The fact that incubation does not lead to laying eggs is a somewhat surprising finding which has not been published yet. It also seems that the addition of a smell stimulus fails to reinforce stimulation if the tactile and olfactory stimuli are not concentrated into a single object. In the second part, we sur
