Abstract

Chilling temperature and colony development in Korean native bumblebee, Bombus ignitus and introduced B. terrestris were firstly investigated. Among four chilling temperatures of -2.5, 0, 2.5 and 5$^{\circ}C$, 2.5$^{\circ}C$ showed the best result at the survival rate after artificial hibernation in both species. The survival rate after chilling was somewhat higher in B. ignitus until three months of cold treatment, but it was higher in B. terrestris at four months of cold treatment. In colony development of queens broken diapause by CO$_2$ treatment, oviposition rate and preoviposition period of B. ignitus were 72.5％ and 17.4 days, respectively. These values were 6.1％ higher and 7.4 days shorter than those of B. terrestris. The period up to colony foundation, the first male and queen emergence of B. ignitus were 62.8,66.4 and 63.0 days, respectively, and these values were 2.1-29.5 days shorter than those of B. terrestris. But, the duration up to first worker emergence of B. ignitus and B. terrexrris did not differ as 28.6 and 28.4 days, respectively. On the other hand, the rate of colony foundation and progeny-queen production of B. terrestris, which are the important indication in evaluating the quality of colony, were 14.2 and 13.5％, respectively and these values are 3.8 to 5.7 fold higher than those of B. ignitus. Besides, the numbers of progenies of B. terrestris reached 104.2 workers, 317.9 males and 21.1 queens, which corresponded to 1.1-1.8 fold those at B. ignitus. Therefore, above results showed that colony development of B. terrestris is superior to that of B. ignitus.

토종 호박벌(Bombusignitus)과 수입 서양뒤영벌(B. terrestris)의 냉장온도별 생존율과 실내사육에 의한 봉세발달을 비교 조사하였다. -2.5, 0, 2.5, 5$^{\circ}C$등 4종류 냉장온도 중 호박벌과 서양뒤영벌 모두 2.5$^{\circ}C$에서 생존율이 가장 높았으며, 냉장 3개월까지는 호박벌이, 냉장 4개월째는 서양뒤영벌의 생존율이 다소 높게 나타났다. 한산가스처리로 휴면을 타파한 여왕별의 봉세발달을 조사한 결과, 산란율은 호박벌이 72.5%로 서양뒤명벌보다 6.1% 높았고, 산란전기간도 17.4일로 7.4일 빨랐다. 일벌이 50마리 될 때까지의 봉군형성소요일수, 수벌 및 여왕벌출현소요일수 또한 호박벌이 각각 62.8일, 66.4일, 63.0일로 서양뒤명벌보다 2.1-29.5일 빨리 출현하였다. 그러나 일벌출현소요일수는 28.6일과 28.4일로 차이가 없었다. 반면에 우수봉군의 지표가 되는 봉군형성률 및 신여왕벌출현봉군율은 서양뒤영벌이 각각 14.2%, 13.6%로서 호박벌보다 3.8-5.7배 높게 나타났다. 성충출현수 역시, 서양뒤영벌이 일벌 104.2 마리, 수벌 317.9 마리, 여왕벌 27.1 마리로 호박벌보다 1.1-1.8배 많아 봉세 발달은 서양뒤영벌이 우수한 것으로 나타났다.
