Abstract

Artificial hibernation is essential for year-round rearing of the bumblebee, Bombus ignitus that undergoes one generation per year It is known that keeping the queens in low temperature for two or three months is effective to terminate their diapause and develop the colony. Temperature, time and surroundings to keep the queens during artificial hibernation were investigated. (omitted)
