dc.description.abstractThis study was carried out to determine the effects of age and number of grafted larvae onacceptance rates, body weight, body length, head width and length, thorax width andlength, and wing width and length of queen bees. One breeding and eleven starter hiveswere used for rearing queen bees. Totally, 495 one, two, and three-day-old larvae weregrafted into starter hives comprising 30, 45, and 60 and 414 larvae were accepted; thus,generally, the acceptance rate was calculated as 83%. The best acceptance rate wascalculated in three-day-old larvae group as 85.15%. There were found a statisticallysignificant effect of the number of grafted larvae on body length and head width of queen.However, there were any effects on weight, head length, thorax width, thorax length,wing width, wing length, and acceptance rate of larvae. Age of grafted larvae did nothave a statistically significant effect on head width, head length, wing width andacceptance rate of larvae. On the other hand, age of grafted larvae had a statisticallysignificant effect on queen weight, body length, thorax width and length, and wing lengthof queen. If bee breeders wish to improve their stock, they should graft one-day-oldlarvae for rearing better queen bees.
