Abstract

Honey bees use propolis to defend against invaders and pathogens. Propolis, a resinous mixture, has been widely used for its antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. This research was carried out to evaluate the propolis productivity in Apis mellifera lines to select superior honeybee lines. For the study, which were collected from three regions in Korea were evaluated for the productivity of propolis. The results showed that, the average propolis per colony was highest in the line P2 (10.1 g/hive), which was inbed line derived from isolated region, compared to other lines. We also measured brood development one the basis of population size of eggs, brood, and adult bees to further probe for relation between population size and propolis yield, in that larger population generally have more foragers. Also, adult population expended more greatly in the line P2 compared to that in the control.

프로폴리스는 꿀벌이 식물로부터 수집해 오는 수지성분으로 질병이나 기타 환경적인 요인으로부터 봉군을 보호하는 기능을 가지고 있다. 꿀벌 계통의 프로폴리스 생산성은 봉군의 유전적인 특성에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 프로폴리스 생산성 우수 계통 선발을 위한 연구의 일환으로 국내 수집 꿀벌 계통에 의한 프로폴리스 생산성을 평가하고 특성이 우수한 계통을 유지·보존하고자 하였다. 지역별 수집 계통 P1, P2, P3의 프로폴리스 생산성 평가는 2017년 6~7월, 8~9월 2차례에 걸쳐 이루어졌으며, 그 결과 P2 계통의 프로폴리스 생산성이 각각 10.1 g/hive, 4.25 g/hive로 가장 우수한 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 계통에 대한 봉군발육조사 결과 P2 계통의 일벌 개체수가 타 계통에 비해 월등히 높아 이 계통의 프로폴리스 생산성에 크게 기여했을 것으로 보고 있다. 이러한 결과를 통해 본 연구에서는 국내 수집 서양종꿀벌 원종 계통 중 프로폴리스 생산성이 가장 우수한 계통은 P2 계통인 것으로 평가되었으며, 향후 프로폴리스 생산성 우수 계통 선발을 위한 기초 자료로 제공될 수 있을 것이라 기대하고 있다.
