Sažetak
The study was caried out on three lines of honeybees (Apis mellifera carnica) during summer of 2015 in Baranja, Croatia. Hygienic behaviour of bees were measured with standard pin test method on 57 colonies. Numer of combs with bees and brood was counted on day when test was performed, and during test there was no nectar flow. Colonies showed wide range of brood removal (16-100%) 18 hours after conducting pin test. After comparing results no correlation was found between colony strength and success of hygienic behavior. However there was differnce between lines with one line avarage of 59.2% of cleaned cells and one line with 74.8% of cleaned cells. Our result show that number of bees and brood in the hive doesn't affect expression of hygienic behaviour.
