Influência dos diferentes tipos de colmeias e sombreamento no comportamento higiênico e na termoregulação de colônias de abelhas africanizadas

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the climatic variations of the environment, such as ambient temperature, internal temperature of the hives and internal humidity in different types of hives, cement and wood, and hygienic behavior in the different types of shading and types of hives in the rainy season, where the ambient temperatures varied between treatments with a greater difference between temperatures in natural shading and without shade, since the internal temperature of the cement hives presented a lower temperature in all types of shading in relation to the wood hives, the values of internal humidity were also influenced by the different types of hive materials, where the humidities of cement hives are lower than those of wood, natural shading presented the best ambient temperatures for the development of bees, where a variation of 21°C was found at 39°C during the day. The internal temperature in all treatments of wood hives was close to the ideal temperature, which is 33°C to 35°C, while in cement hives, in the coldest hours, it was lower, registering 25°C at 3:00 am and reaching 34°C At 16:00, the different types of shading did not influence the behavior of the plant or the type of beginnings, therefore, the different types of shading had differences in ambient temperatures, microclimates, plus internal temperatures, there was no significant difference between the types of shadows.RODRIGUES
