Abstract

An artificial insemination instrument of bumblebee queens was firstly developed. This instrument consists of location tube, transfer tube, holding tube, head product, and probe apparatus for reproductive tract etc. This instrument was designed to minimize stress and damage of reproductive tract of bumblebee queens. The regulator handle apparatus in artificial insemination instrument was used the principle of lever, that manipulates easy, accurate and rapid insemination of bumblebee queens. By using this instrument, the insemination rate was over 90%. This instrument will be useful for the breeding and conservation of excellent character of bumblebees.

뒤영벌 인공수정기를 본 연구에서 처음으로 개발하였다. 개발된 뒤영벌 인공수정기는 자리잡기용관, 이송용관, 고정관, 머리받침대, 생식기 탐침기 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 여왕벌의 인공수정에 따른 스트레스 및 생식기의 손상을 최소화하도록 고안되었다. 특히 인공수정기의 조정핸들은 지렛대 원리를 이용하여 미세하고, 정확하고, 신속하게 조작할 수 있다. 본 인공수정기를 이용하여 인공수정 시 수정 성공률은 90% 이상이었다. 따라서 이 인공수정기는 우량형질의 뒤영벌 육종 및 보존에 효율적으로 이용되어질 수 있을 것이다.
