Sažetak
The aim of experiment was to determine if there is difference of larvae acceptance after grafting one day old larvae in artificial wax queen cells that were for one hour prior to grafting in starter colonies for polishing (P) and artificial wax queen cells that weren't in contact with bees (C). Furthermore, 20 queens from each group after hatching were weighed and dissected to measure diameter of spermatheca. 24 hours after grafting average acceptance of larvae in group P and C was 85.3% (min-max: 78- 89.8) and 76.6 % (min-max: 66-82.5) respectively. Polishing of artificial wax queen cells before grafting have significant effect (p<0.05) on acceptance of grafted larvae, but not on the size of spermatheca and weight of queen.
