- Abstract
In this study, 30 queen bees which were produced, and randomly collected between August-September 2018, were used from 6 enterprises that produce commercial queens in different cities (Ankara, Antalya, Konya, Mersin, Ordu) of Turkey. The live weight of the queens, spermatheca diameter, spermatheca volume, and the number of spermatozoa, were evaluated as quality criteria. As a result of the measurements, the mean values of 167.20 ± 3.68 mg, 1.015 ± 0.007 mm, 0.55±0.01mm? and 0.374±0.058 million/queen were determined, respectively. While there was a statistically significant difference in terms of number of spermatozoids (P<0.01), no difference was found in terms of other characteristics among the commercial businesses. A high quality queen bee is required to weigh 200 mg or more, 1.2 mm and or more of spermatheca diameter, 0.90 mm? and above for the volume of the spermatheca, and 5 million or more of spermatozoids stored in the spermatheca. It was determined that the quality in terms of live weight, spermatheca diameter, spermatheca volume and the amount of spermatozoid stored in the spermatheca of queen bees were much lower than the standard values.
