Developing Pollinating Insects Bees Honey Apis cerana by applying the Doolittle Method (Queen Rearing)
Abstract
Insects hold significant importance in human life, exhibiting harmful and beneficial effects. Harmful insects, such as plant pests and disease vectors, threaten humans and animals, while beneficial insects contribute positively to human welfare and environmental health. They serve as agents of decomposition, recycle organic materials, and play a crucial role in the pollination of plants. Among these, bees are notable pollinators. Honeybees, in particular, are environmentally friendly insects that substantially benefit humans due to their role in plant pollination. This research was conducted using a Randomized Group Design (RAK) outlined by Steel and Torrie (1993), which involved seven treatments—six consisting of artificial feed and one control group. The findings indicate that the development of Apis cerana honey beekeeping, utilizing the Doolittle method, effectively increased the number of queen cells in royal jelly, with the most successful treatment being E, which had a ratio of 2:1 (200 grams of water to 100 grams of cane sugar). However, statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between this treatment and the others
