The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of Apis mellifera beehives submitted or unsubmitted to an energetic-protein supplementation. The experiment was realized from May to December 2003, in an apiary in Ituporanga (SC). The beehives were randomly distributed in the experimental area. The energetic-protein supplementation consisted of the syrup of reversed sugar plus a vitamin-protein called L Promoter® and it was applied to five beehives; five other beehives did not receive the supplementation. Data on the number of eggs, larva, pupae, pollen and honey area were evaluated. Significant differences were observed between the treatments for each parameter analyzed. Beehives with the energetic-protein supplementation presented higher values for eggs, larva and pupae when there was little food available in the environment. Beehives with no supplementation presented an increase in pollen area starting in June, while the supplied beehives presented a greater pollen storage when the period of available pollen in nature was decreased and the climatic conditions were not favorable for the harvesting and development of beehives. The energetic-protein supplementation improved the storage of food by the bees, but did not bring forward the development of their beehives. |
