Studies on the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica Radoszkowski - bionomics and evaluation as genetic resources -

建立了中华蜜蜂（Apis cerana japonica，Acj）的饲养技术，特别是蜂王塑料杯饲养技术。由于Acj皇后不能在A.在实验室饲养的意大利蜜蜂（Am）皇家浆中，两种蜜蜂的皇家浆的化学成分似乎有所不同。Acj女王的仪器授精也获得成功。这两个物种的交配飞行时间在时间上是分离的，Am为13：30-14：30，Acj为14：45-16：00。在同一个养蜂场的两个物种中观察到类似的季节性觅食活动模式。花粉量的显微分析表明，两种植物对花粉源花的偏好略有不同。花粉源花的多样性在AM中较高，但在两个物种中也观察到群体间的差异。“方言曲线”，Acj的舞蹈克里思与觅食距离的关系与Am相似，晚于本种的热带亚种。从方言曲线估计的觅食距离的70%为22公里的Acj和3 km的Am。在潜逃之前，经常会进行缓慢的摇尾舞。进化出智能防御策略对抗胡蜂的攻击。

Keeping system of the Japanese honeybee, Apis cerana japonica(Acj), especially queen rearing with plastic cell cup was established. Since Acj queen could not be produced on A. mellifera (Am) royal jelly in laboratory rearing, chemical components of royal jelly from the two species seemed to be different. Instrumental insemination of Acj queen was also succeeded. Mating flight time of the two species was chronologically isolated: 13:30-14:30 for Am and 14:45-16:00 for Acj. Similar patterns of seasonal foraging activities were observed in the two species kept in the same apiary. Microscopical analysis of pollen loads suggested that the preference of pollen-source flower was slightly different in the two species. Diversity of pollen-source flowers was higher in Am, while inter-colony variation was also seen in the two species. "Dialect curve", the relation between dance tempo and foraging distance of Acj resembled to that of Am later than that of tropical subspecies of the own species. Seventy percentile of the foraging distance estimated from the dialect curve was 22km for Acj and 3km for Am. Slow tail-waggling dance was often performed prior to absconding. Acj evolved intelligent defensive strategy against attack by Vespa spp.
