"Zhejiang Agricultural University 1" Italian bee is a high-yield variety of royal jelly and honey cultivated independently in China. Experts from 9 units, including Zhejiang Agricultural University, collected high-yield bee colonies of royal jelly from Hangzhou, Pinghu, Jiaxing, Tonglu, Shaoxing, Longyou and other places as breeding materials under the guidance of closed colony breeding theory, and used isolation and artificial insemination technology in Taihu Island for successive generations of selection, with superior production performance and stable heredity.
This variety was identified by Zhejiang Science and Technology Commission on June 30th, 1993. In 2009, "Zhejiang Agricultural University 1No." was re-examined by experts from the Bee Professional Committee of the Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources Committee of the Ministry of Agriculture and identified as a new artificial bee strain (equivalent to other livestock and poultry varieties).
Variety show
Zhejiang Agricultural University 1 Italian bee has strong reproductive ability and weak bee division. When the population potential is less than 8 tripod (1 tripod =0.35kg), the population potential of the Italian bee of Zhejiang Agricultural University 1 can generally be maintained at 10 tripod (3.5kg).
The production performance of Italian bee Zhejiang Agricultural University 1 was determined. The results showed that the output of royal jelly was higher than that of Zhejiang 146.8%, the honey yield was 23. 1% and the powder yield was 45. 1%. The maximum amount of powder collected is more than 500g per day, and the glue collecting power is average. There is a lot of resistance. When the highest temperature is 35℃, the reproduction is still normal. When the temperature reaches 38℃, the bees still leave the nest. The bees in the frame of 1.5 ~ 2.0 are not kept warm, and their reproduction is basically normal in cold early spring.
Strong nest cleaning ability, clean box bottom, not easy to cause sporozoosis and chalk disease. Spleen is well protected, the temperature is above 30℃ in summer, and there are still about 2000 worker bees on each nest of spleen; Strong wax secretion ability and fast spleen building speed; Mild temperament, generally do not wear a bee hat when checking bees. Sensitive sense of smell, strong theft ability and medium anti-theft ability.
