EVALUATION OF RAPESEED FLOUR AND PEA PROTEIN CONCENTRATE AS PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS FOR HONEY BEES (HYMENOPTERA: APIDAE)1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
Rapeseed flour fed to package honey bee colonies was preferred to soya flour, wheast, and pea protein concentrate. Rapeseed flour was equal to wheast and fresh mixed pollen for longevity when fed in small cages. Rapeseed flour was equal to wheast but both were inferior to fresh mixed pollen for brood rearing. Pea protein concentrate was the poorest diet in longevity and brood rearing tests.
