| Abstract | ||||
| Three genetical backgrounds of honeybee queens were chosen to establish the relation between number of ovarioles and bristles covering the forewing. For counting the bristles, an vedio camera connected with a binocolar and a monitor were used to display the mounted wing, and with the aid of a lined plastic sheet the count of the bristles on the second discoidal cell was done. The results indicated that the relation between the two parameters in the three groups was linear and negatively correlated with each other. The coefficient of regression was estimated as 0.52, 0.32 and 0.29 for Egyptian, Italian and hybrid bees, respectively. This study may help for detremining the number of ovarioles of honeybee queens without needing for killing and dissected them. | ||||
