The Study On The Life Table Of The Workers Apis Cerana Cerana F. Experimental Population In Fuzhou

The core of the honeybee (A. c. cerana )population research is the quan-tity dynamics of honeybee population. Life table is an important tool in this research range.The study on honeybee life table not only enriched the research content of hon-eybee population ecology and insect population ecology but also provide some theo-retical basis for bee-keeping practice .We established honeybee life table during the spring growth period, summer pe-riod, as well as the autumn growth period in FuZhou region, analyzing the mortality, life expectation under the different environmental, meanwhile,drawing the relevant survival curve,in the end we analyzed impossible death reason.The results showed that(1) During the spring growth period, the mortality of the egg, larva and sealed brood were 30.7%, 13.3% and 9.5% in Fu Zhou area. It has high mortality between 33 d to 48 d, the peak mortality occurred in 45 d.The longest life expectation and adult expectation in this period were 38.03 d and 29.63 d respectively.(2) During the summer period the mortality of the egg, larva and sealed brood were 24.8%, 45.1% and 16% in Fu Zhou area. It has high mortality between 46 d to 55 d , the peak mortality during the adult honeybee occurred in 55 d.The longest life expectation and adult expectation in this period were 50.60 d and 48.37 d respectively.(3) During the autumn growth period the mortality of the egg, larva and sealed brood were 4.8%, 10.6% and 5.9% in Fu Zhou area. Three peak mortality happened during adult period were 40 d ,59 d and 64 d. The longest life expectation and adult expectation in this period were 47.59 d and 37.68 d respectively.(4) The survival curves showed a convex type during three period(spring growth, summer, autumn growth) in Fu zhou area.
