Detailed Description
Example 1: the invention relates to a method for artificially feeding bee larvae in a laboratory, which comprises the following steps:
(1) preparation of bee larvae
During the queen bee oviposition period, three cases of healthy bee colonies of known origin and physiological state are selected. Opening the beehive cover, inserting 1 empty spleen respectively, fixing the queen bee on the empty spleen by a queen bee separation plate for laying eggs, removing the queen bee separation plate after 24 hours, releasing the queen bee, and checking the new egg laying condition. According to the fertility of queen bees, the isolation time can be shortened appropriately to reduce the size and age difference between larvae. The hive containing the bee eggs is kept until hatching (the hatching period of the bee eggs is generally 3 days).
(2) Laboratory rearing of bee larvae
And taking out the inserted bee spleen from the beehive, picking the bee larvae, placing the bee larvae on a pore plate filled with basic ration of the bee larvae, and placing the bee larvae into an incubator for breeding.
In the laboratory, 48-hole plates are used for feeding the bee larvae.
The basic ration formula of the larva comprises fresh royal jelly 50%, sterile water 37%, glucose 6%, fructose 6% and yeast extract 1%. The specific operation method comprises the following steps: preparing larva basic ration, placing in an incubator, preheating for 30 minutes, and adding 50 μ L of larva ration into each well to 48-well plate.
The bee larvae at the later stage of 1 day are transferred from the bee spleens to a 48-hole plate containing basic ration of the bee larvae, one larva is placed in each hole, the 48-hole plate is placed in a small sealed storage box, the bottom of the box is filled with 1L of sterilized glycerol-water mixed liquid (15.5% of glycerol and 84.5% of water), the small sealed storage box is placed in an incubator at the temperature of 34 +/-1 ℃ for culture, and then the basic ration of the larvae in the hole plate is replaced every 24 hours.
When the larva is about to enter a pupation stage, sucking feed on the body surface of the larva by using a lens wiping paper, transferring the larva into a 24-hole plate filled with a sterilizing paper to prepare for pupation, and then, not moving the larva until the larva grows completely, wherein the specifically cultured larva of the bee in each day age can grow normally and pupate as shown in figure 1.
The bee larva cultured by the method can normally develop, and the development condition of the bee larva is basically consistent with that of the bee larva fed in the beehive. On the basis, a plurality of living experiments taking the bee larvae as objects can be developed, and the restriction of a plurality of uncontrollable factors in bee colonies is avoided.
Comparative example 1: influence of daily ration formula on growth and development of bee larvae
In order to obtain the optimal ratio of the bee larva daily ration, according to the nutrition requirement of the bee larva, the basic daily ration of the bee larva is prepared by the invention: fresh royal jelly accounts for 50%, sterile water accounts for 37%, glucose accounts for 6%, fructose accounts for 6%, and yeast extract accounts for 1%.
Three diets were formulated simultaneously at different stages given in the OECD237 guidelines:
diet a (day 1): 50% of fresh royal jelly and 50% of aqueous solution containing 2% of yeast extract, 12% of glucose and 12% of fructose;
diet B (day 3): 50% of fresh royal jelly and 50% of aqueous solution containing 3% of yeast extract, 15% of glucose and 15% of fructose;
diet C (day 4 to day 6): 50% of fresh royal jelly and 50% of aqueous solution containing 4% of yeast extract, 18% of glucose and 18% of fructose.
The experiment is divided into 2 treatments according to daily ration, each treatment is carried out 3 culture plates (with 48 holes), namely 3 treatments are repeated, and the bee larvae with different ages of days are selected for feeding, so that the larvae of the fundamental daily ration treatment group of the larvae grow well and can be defecated to enter a pupation period. The OECD237 treated group larvae grew poorly, and the larvae died after being transplanted to the plates for about 3 days, and individual larvae stopped developing after they developed to the pupal stage and then died.
The basic daily ration formula of the bee larvae is superior to the OECD237 criterion, mainly because the bee larvae develop slowly and have less sugar demand, but the bee larvae undergo a series of complex changes, the decomposition and synthesis of substances are continuously carried out in vivo, water is a main medium of physiological metabolism and biochemical reaction and has large water demand, and the OECD237 criterion increases the sugar content and reduces the water content, so the larvae grow badly.
Comparative example 2: effect of insect age on larva survival Rate
The experimental diets were unified into the best feeding formula of example 1, two treatment groups of larvae at the early stage of 1 day (egg cyan) and larvae at the later stage of 1 day (white), each treatment consisting of 3 plates (48 wells) i.e. 3 replicates. During feeding, the larvae at the earlier stage of 1 day are relatively good in growth vigor 3 days before being transplanted to a culture plate, more than 50% of the larvae on the fourth day have weakened body elasticity, gradually stop developing and die. The larvae grow well at the later stage of 1 day, more than 90% of the larvae survive, and the defecate enters the pupation stage.
Comparative example 3: influence of pupation plates on larval development
The experiment designed 2 treatment groups, one with sterile dry lens wiping paper padded in the wells of a 24-well plate, and the other with a blank 24-well plate. The experimental daily ration is unified into the daily ration formula with the best feeding effect in the example 1, the larva with the best feeding effect in the example 2 is selected for feeding, and then the larva to be pupated (prepupa) in the defecation period is moved into the pupation plate holes by using the larva moving needle, wherein 1 larva is placed in each hole. Pupation patterns of the blank pupation plate only achieved an emergence rate of 44.44% from pre-pupation to bee formation, compared to a pupation plate of pad-dried sterile mirror paper, which achieved a survival rate of up to 95.83%.
