Sažetak
We evaluated the efficacy of supplementation with protein, yeast, or sugar candies of young honeybee colonies origi-nated from artificial swarms, by measuring strength and determining Nosema spp. spore level in adult bees in summer period. At the same time, we aimed to assess longevity of adult worker bees after feeding the same type of candies in controlled laboratory condition. The highest survival was found in Yeast and Protein candy group. On the contrary, the field study showed that artificial swarms produced significantly more pupae (2510.4 cm2, p=0.0001) in the 1st period of measurement, and more larvae (964.8 cm2, p=0.003) and frames with bees (5.6, p=0.008) in the 2nd period by feeding non-protein candy. In the 3rd period of evaluation of young colonies, the Sugar candy group had the highest number of frames covered by adult bees and honey stores, respectively (5.6, p=0.0009 ; 3432.0 cm2, p=0.015). Sugar candy group produced the largest area of wax cells, however, the differences were not statistically significant. Nosema spp. spore level was checked quantitatively in adult bees. The lowest infection was statistically significant in Yeast candy group in June (4.35 million spores per bee, p=0.02), but insignificant in September. Supplementing ar-tificial swarms Sugar candy offers the most promising potential for development of productive young colony. The findings of our study could help beekeepers to choose the effective candy supplement for optimal development of artificial swarms.
