Abstract

At the nature, bees consume pollen and nectar to obtain its nutrients (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals). Changes in bee pastures have occurred as green areas and forests have been replaced by agricultural areas affecting colony health and productivity. Because of this, the efficiency of artificial protein diets for the Africanized honey bee (Apis mellifera, L.) was evaluated - considering the total protein content of the hemolymph, weight of the bees, and dietary consumption. The crude protein of the diets ranged from 12.2 to 24.4%. Newly emerged workers were caged and kept in an incubator with controlled temperature and humidity until six days old, receiving diets and water ad libitum. Hemolymph was collected from 0- and 6-day-old workers. Comparing the diets, significant differences in the protein content in the hemolymph, bee weight, and diet consumption were found among the treatments. A diet composed of 20% sugarcane yeast, 20% textured soy protein, and 60% sucrose was the most efficient according to measures of total protein in the hemolymph, bee weight and diet consumption. The use of protein sources as a supplement for hives can be a safe and viable alternative for beekeepers.
利用蛋白质饲料作为非洲化蜜蜂的补充
在大自然中,蜜蜂消耗花粉和花蜜来获取营养(蛋白质、脂质、碳水化合物、维生素和矿物质)。由于绿地和森林被影响蜂群健康和生产力的农业区所取代,蜜蜂牧场发生了变化。正因为如此,人工蛋白质饲料对非洲化蜜蜂(Apis mellifera, L.)的效率进行了评估——考虑到血淋巴的总蛋白质含量、蜜蜂的体重和饮食消耗。饲粮粗蛋白质含量为12.2 ~ 24.4%。新出的工蚁被关在笼子里,放在一个温度和湿度可控的孵化器里,直到6天大,他们可以随意进食和喝水。从0天和6天大的工蚁身上采集血淋巴。不同处理的血淋巴蛋白含量、蜜蜂体重和食用量均有显著差异。根据对血淋巴总蛋白、蜜蜂体重和饮食消耗的测量,由20%甘蔗酵母、20%结构大豆蛋白和60%蔗糖组成的日粮是最有效的。对养蜂人来说,使用蛋白质来源作为蜂箱的补充是一种安全可行的选择。
