Abstract

Bumblebees are widely used to pollinate crops in greenhouses and fields. Here we firstly developed an apparatus for the oviposition induction of the bumblebee Bombus ignitus using electricity. The apparatus consists of boxes for colony initiation, part of temperature control, part of heat transfer, and moving shelf. The result shows that the rates of oviposition and colony foundation in the newly developed apparatus are respectively 3.9% and 5.2% higher than in the existing apparatus using hot water. More importantly, the newly developed apparatus is 75% cheaper in costs and can more save energy than existing apparatus. These results indicate that the newly developed apparatus could serve as an effective apparatus for the oviposition induction of B. ignitus.

작물의 화분매개를 위해 사용되고 있는 뒤영벌 종 토종 호박벌에 적합한 전기를 이용한 산란유도장치를 본 연구에서 처음으로 개발하였다. 개발된 산란유도장치는 여왕벌의 산란이 이루어지는 산란상자, 산란상자의 온도 유지를 위한 온도제어장치, 열전도부 및 이를 지탱할 수 있는 이동형 선반 등으로 구성되어 있다. 개발된 산란유도장치와 기존의 온수 보일러 장치를 이용하여 토종 호박벌의 산란성과 봉세발달을 조사한 결과, 개발된 산란유도장치에서 산란율이 3.9% 높고, 봉군형성율도 5.2% 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 개발된 산란유도장치는 기존의 장치보다 설치비용을 75% 줄일 수 있었고, 에너지 절감이 가능하여 유지비용에 있어서도 효과적이었다. 이러한 결과들로 볼 때, 본 연구에서 새롭게 개발된 전기 산란유도장치는 비용절감과 함께 효과적인 산란유도에 따른 호박벌의 대량생산에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
