The effect of temperature on the rearing of honey bee colonies, Apis mellifera, in northwestern Libya (a revew)
Keywords:
Temperatures, Bees (Apis mellifera), Libya, Mediterranean SeaAbstract
Climatic conditions are one of the most important factors affecting honey bees, and this impact may be negative or positive, and it may be direct or indirect, and this is reflected on their activity inside and outside the hive and affects their behavior in the entirety of their activity. It also leads to the death of many bee colonies as result to extreme heat and extreme cold, which leads to a lack or complete cessation its activity. Beekeeping in Libya developed and expanded, beekeepers follow modern methods, climate is suitable for beekeeping, strains reared are Apis mellifera ligustica in western region while A.m. carnica in eastern region, the forage of bees in Libya is consist of annual and perennial plants, shrubs and trees that produce different types of honey. In this review, we summarize and synthesize previous findings about the effects of temperature to feeding in bees and discuss the strategies bees use to cope with heat stress. Bee species mentioned here are mainly Apis mellifera.
