Abstract

토종벌 개량벌통에 대해 전문가와 양봉농가를 대상으로 설문조사를 수행하였고, 4종 개량벌통(충주, 밀양, 하남, 수원)의 내외부 온습도와 무게변화를 2019년 5월 1일부터 2020년 1월 31일까지 비교 분석하였다. 양봉농가들은 개량벌통의 부수자재로 수직사양기, 받침대, 격리판, 소문조절기 등의 필요성에 공감했다. 벌통 중심부 육아권의 평균온도는 매우 안정하게 유지되는 경향을 보였고(31.3~35.1℃), 시험 벌통들 중 충주벌통에서 육아권의 일간 온도 변이가 가장 낮게 나타났다(≤1℃). 격리판 바깥 격리공간과 월동 봉구 상부의 평균 일간 온도 변이는 4종류 개량벌통들 간 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 벌통 육아권의 온도와 소비수 간 상관관계는 충주벌통이 가장 높았고(80.4%), 외부 온도와 월동 봉구 상부의 온도 간 상관관계는 4종류 벌통 모두 높았다(76.8~87.1%). 벌통 중심부 육아권의 상대습도(45~60%)는 상대적으로 벌통 외부 습도(60~85%)에 비해 낮고 일정하게 유지되었다. 월동 봉구 상부의 상대습도 변화는 수원벌통이 가장 안정적이었다(65~75%). 벌통들 중에서 가장 높은 누적 무게 증가가 밀양과 충주벌통에서 보였고, 이들 벌통은 누적무게 변화와 소비수 간에도 높은 상관관계(65~67%)를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서 토종벌은 자신들의 봉군 유지를 위해 육아권의 온습도를 일정하게 유지하는 능력을 보였지만, 개량 벌통의 규격에 따라 차이를 보임을 알 수 있었다.

The questionnaire survey for Apis cerana beekeepers and professionals on improved native bee hives was carried out and we compared the temperature, relative humidity(RH), and weight changes of 4 improved hives(Chungju, Miryang, Hanam, and Suwon) from May 1, 2019 to January 31, 2020. Beekeepers need vertical feeder, hive stand, entrance block, and separating panel as hive accessory devices. The average temperatures within brood area were kept constantly (31.3~35.1℃) and the low daily variances of temperature (≤1℃) in Chungju hive among tested hives were observed. The daily temperature variances in the separated space and on the top of winter cluster were not different among 4 hives. In correlation between the temperature of brood area and the number of combs, Chungju hive showed the highest correlation(80.4%) and between the temperature on top of winter clusters and outside temperature, 4 hives showed high positive correlation(76.8~87.1%). RH of brood area(45~60%) in all hives were kept relatively low and constant compared to the outside RH(60~85%). The stablest RH on the top of winter cluster was observed in Suwon hives (65~75%) The highest cumulative weight increase among hives and the high positive correlation(65~67%) between the change of cumulative hive weight and combs number of hives were shown in the Miryang and Chungju. Based on these results, A. cerana bees are able to manage constant temperature and RH within hives area for their colony life, which also effected by the types of hive.
