It was investigated whether or not flight has any effects on oviposition and colony development of the artificially hibernated Bombus terrestris queen and ,$CO_2$-treated queen. Flight periods were defined as 0 days (control), 1 day, 3 days and 6 days. The weights of queens after flight were 1.5-8.9% lower than those before flight depending on the flight periods. The oviposition and colony development of artificially hibernated and $CO_2$-treated B. terrestris queen were affected by the flight. Among flight periods tested, in particular, the queens start to flight for 3 days showed better flight effect than those other flight periods in the colony development, rate of colony foundation, rate of progeny-queen production, the number of worker and queen produced. But, the longer the flight periods is, the worse the oviposition and colony development of the queens hibernated artificially and $CO_2$-treated are (i.e., the 6 days-flight queen).

As a means for year-round rearing of bumblebee, CO$_{2}$ -narcosis time favorable for colony development was identified in Bombus terrestris. CO$_{2}$ -narcosis time divided into five classes: 11 days of adult emergence (A-11), the day of adult emergence (A-0), late pupal stage (LP), middle pupal sta ge (MP), and early pupal stage (EP). In egg-laying characteristics, the oviposition rate of LP, A-11 and A-0 was over 76.0$\%$, but that of MP and EP was less than 61.1 $\%$. At the same time, the days needed to first oviposition shortened to 9.8 ­10.5 days in A-11, A-O and LP, comparing to 13.7 -16.1 days in MP and EP. The rate of colony foundation, progeny-queen produced and period of colony foundation of A-11 were the best results in among those at different CO$_{2}$-treatment time. The number of worker produced was 109.2 -110.5 in A-H, LP and A-H, comparing to 82.0 - 86.8 in MP and EP. Also, the number of progeny-queen produced of A-H, A-O and LP was 36.1, 41.0 and 71.3, respectively, which corresponded to 1.5 - 3.1 fold higher than MP and EP. Taken these together, CO$_{2}$-narcosis time favorable for colony development was determined to be 11 days of adult emergence. Also, the day of adult emergence and late pupal stage showed a positive effect on the oviposition and colony development in CO$_{2}$-narcosis time.

생대추가 신소득 작목으로 부각되면서 재배지가 확대되고 있으나 우리나라 장마기와 최근 이상기후로 인해 대추 수분 수정 및 착과에 문제가 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 생대추 재배를 위해 도입된 비가림하우스에서 서양종 꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌을 이용하여 화분매개곤충의 활동 특성과 착과 효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 구명하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 대추 복조 품종을 대상으로 비가림하우스에 망실을 씌워 서양종 꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌을 2016년 6월 1일부터 7월 25일까지 약 55일정도 방사하였다. 서양종 꿀벌은 주로 오후에 활동이 많았으나 서양뒤영벌의 활동은 시간에 관계없이 다소 균일하였다. 대추 신초 가지의 착과율을 조사한 결과 방화곤충을 차단한 무처리 5.5% 대비 서양종 꿀벌은 10.2%, 서양뒤영벌은 8.9%로 대추 비가림하우스내 화분매개곤충 활용시 착과량 증진으로 농가 소득증대에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.
