亮热厉螨越冬虫态与场所

On the Overwintering Site and Stage of Trapilaelaps clareae

亮热厉螨(Trapilaelaps clareue)的越冬问题,在养蜂界说法不一,通常认为在西方蜜蜂群内的封盖子脾上越冬。经初步观察试验,其越冬场所以封盖子脾为主,南方温暖地区也可在群外的空脾和花粉脾中越冬,还可在某些动植物上渡过短促的越冬期。越冬虫态是成螨。

There are different view points on the overwintering of Trapilaelaps clareae.It is usually considered that T. clareae overwinters in sealed comb of Apis mellifera. However, the present survey found that its overwintering sites mainly are the sealed comb. In South China, the empty comb and pollen comb outside the beehive can also be its overwintering site, And the mite can even overwinter on some animals and plants. The overwintering stage of T. clareae is adult mite.
