  • 시설파프리카에서 양봉꿀벌은 온도, 조도 그리고 자외선량이 증가하고 습도가 감소하는 오전 11:00부터 15:00, 서양뒤영벌은 오전 09:00에서 11:00에 방화활동수가 가장 많았다. 방화시간은 양봉꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌 방사구가 각각 5.8초와 6.9초로 같은 수준이었으며, 착과율은 각각 94%수준으로 관행구(환풍기사용) 92%보다 2% 높았다. 생산물조사에서 양봉꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌 방사구가 관행구보다 과실의 무게, 길이, 당도, 종자수에서 보다 좋은 성적을 보였다. 따라서 경제성분석(재배기간 10개월/2,310 $m^2$)에서 양봉꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌 방사구가 관행구(팬가동)에 비하여 $7,700{\sim}8,520$천원(10% 이상)의 이익을 가져옴으로서 화분매개곤충을 방사한 효과가 뚜렷하게 나타났다.

  • To elucidate the composition of bumblebee (Bomb us terrestris) venom (BBV) and the anti-inflammatory effect of BBV. The major components of BBV by LC chromatography and SDS-PAGE were identified. The production of nitric oxide (NO) and proinflammatory cytokines was examined by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in a macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells, with BBV. BBV inhibits LPS-induced NO in a dose dependent manner. We also found that BBV inhibits proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ and interleukin (IL)-6 production. These findings mean that BBV can be used in controlling macrophages mediated inflammation related disease. Additional studies on the pharmacological aspects of the individual components of BBV are recommended for future trials.

  • Bumblebees, more efficient than honeybees, provide important services for pollination especially in tomato, pepper, cucumber, strawberries and other crops grown under tunnel farming or glasshouse conditions to yield maximization. These bees require pollen and nectar to meet their dietary needs and maintain their colony structure, development and reproduction. Keeping in view their economic importance, the effect of five concentrations of sugar and honey solutions (1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 2:1,1.5:1) each as alternative to nectar were used to observe their effect on life history parameters of Bombus terrestris. The 1:1 ratio of sugar solution was found most effective followed by 1.5:1, 1:1.5, 1:2 and 2:1 and also more effective of all five concentrations of honey solutions on all three stages of colony development i.e., at colony initiation, colony development and colony maturation stages. At colony initiation stage, early pre-oviposition period ($6.40{\pm}0.97$ days), early emergence of first worker in the first batch ($25.40{\pm}1.21$ days) and maximum numbers of workers ($6.20{\pm}0.24$) emergence in the first batch were observed at 1:1 ratio of sugar solution. Colonies reared on 1:1 ratio of sugar solution reached earlier ($52.13{\pm}1.28$ days) at colony foundation stage with minimum mortality ($3.27{\pm}0.54$ workers). At colony maturation stage, maximum numbers of workers, sexual (males, queens) and maximum mother queen longevity was observed at the same 1:1 ratio of sugar solution. It can be suggested from present study that sugar solution as alternative of nectar at 1:1 ratio was better than other sugar concentration levels and also from those of honey solution.
