蜜蜂(Apis Melvena L.)花粉替代饲料商品化概述并与花粉饼和高果糖玉米糖浆(HFCS)进行比较。进行了两个试验；第一个试验在秋冬季进行了3个月，第二个试验在夏季进行了2个月。在试验1中测试了三种饮食(饮食-1、饮食-2和饮食-3(液体和肉饼形式))，在试验2中测试了饮食-2和饮食-3(肉饼)。在这两个试验中，饮食-2和饮食-3肉饼的消耗率与花粉蛋糕相当。蜂群摄入的Diet-1明显少于其他饲料。在两个试验中，饲料消耗量与孵化面积和成虫数量的变化之间存在显著的关系。在试验1中，饲喂Diet-3肉饼的蜂群比饲喂花粉蛋糕或任何其他饲料的蜂群产仔数显著增加。饲喂Diet-1或HFCS的蜂群产仔量最低。饲喂Diet-3液体或肉饼的蜂群中的成虫种群与饲喂花粉蛋糕的蜂群没有区别，但显著多于饲喂Diet-1或Diet-2的蜂群。在试验1中，当一些花粉被蜂群采集时，日粮2和日粮3在孵化或成虫种群增长方面与花粉饼没有区别。
Summary Commercially available pollen substitute diets for honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) were evaluated for consumption and colony growth (brood and adult populations) and compared with pollen cake and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Two trials were conducted; the first for 3 months during the fall and winter and a second for 2 months in the summer. Three diets were tested in Trial 1 (Diet-1, Diet-2, and Diet-3 (liquid and patty form)) and Diet-2 and Diet-3 (patty) in Trial 2. In both Trials, Diet-2 and Diet-3 patty were consumed at rates that were comparable to pollen cake. Colonies consumed significantly less Diet-1 than the other diets. There was a significant relationship between the amount of diet consumed and the change in brood area and adult population size in both Trials. Colonies fed Diet-3 patty produced significantly more brood than those fed pollen cake or any other diet in Trial 1. The lowest brood production occurred in colonies fed Diet-1 or HFCS. Adult populations in colonies fed Diet-3 liquid or patty did not differ from those fed pollen cake, and were significantly larger than colonies fed Diet-1 or Diet-2. In Trial 1, when some pollen was being collected by colonies, Diet-2 and Diet-3 did not differ from pollen cake in brood or adult population growth.
