Abstract | ||
The effects of using artificial insemination for improving important characters of carnica honeybees (Apia meiiifera comics ) reared in the two isolated area was studied .Biometrical studies include ( body weight . number of ovarioles, size of spermatheca and number of spermatozoa ) revealed that parents significantly vary ~ from their crosses. High recorded for there parameters was noticed in queens of (Dakhla x Manzala). insignificant differences were observed in this biometrical parameter between parents. The important morphological characters ( proboscis length, forewing length and width , second wax mirror length and width and sting length was studied in progenies of carnica and their crosses. High recorded for proboscis . forewing length , hind tibia and sting length indicated that using artificial insemination can be improved these traits. | ||
