Abstract

Purpose: Conducting a honey diluent test for creeples of sperm of a drone honey bee.

Materials and methods. The material for the research served a sperm of the milled drone drums of the "Prioksky" type of the Midway breed of bees. The selection of sperm was carried out in June-July 2020 g by the method of artificial stimulation of the turning of the endofalosha in half-armed drones aged 25-30 days. The rock type "Prioksky" of the middle Russian breed of bees. Before freezing, the sperm was stored in glass capillaries in the cooled state at 3 ° C for 2 months. The following composition of the diluent was tested - 10% honey, lactose, sucrose, egg yolk and dimethyl sulfoxide.

Results. Studies have shown the viability of sperm at 64.0 ± 1.8% (41.5-83.7), and a total mobility of 2.2 ± 0.6% (0-11.5). To evaluate the fertilizing ability of sperm, carried out artificial insemination of 10 bee modules. In 4 seeded bees dykens, the presence of sperm in a seed-hearter with a concentration of sperm from 0.22-4.4 million / μl is revealed. In paired eggs of three other seeded matters, the presence of sperm and the complete absence of spermatozoa in the seed-receptionist are recorded.

Conclusion. Tests of the honey diluent for deep freezing sperm of the drone honey bees in liquid nitrogen confirmed its cryophylactic properties.
