- Dr. Juliana Rangel, an expert in queen bee biology, provides a comprehensive overview of factors influencing queen bee quality and management. She emphasizes the role of genetics in determining colony traits and underscores the importance of avoiding inbreeding to mitigate issues like diploid drones, which are unviable and usually removed by worker bees. Her lecture also delves into the haplodiploid sex determination system in bees, the detrimental effects of pesticides on drone sperm viability and queen mating success, and the critical role of queen pheromones in maintaining colony structure and inhibiting worker bee reproduction.
Additionally, Dr. Rangel discusses the implications of environmental factors like climate change on beekeeping, highlighting the need for vigilant queen management to ensure healthy and productive colonies. She stresses the importance of monitoring queen age and vigor, suggesting effective management strategies to maintain robust colonies. Concluding her talk, Dr. Rangel promotes an upcoming workshop on queen rearing and encourages attendees to follow her Facebook page for updates on future events and educational opportunities in beekeeping.
Excellent lecture! Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great talk. Very educational and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Looking forward to seeing her speak in person tomorrow
We hope you enjoyed watching her speak!
I really enjoyed this presentation! It was very helpful and I learned a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excelente tutorial material thanks Dr. Rangel keep it up the good work 👍🏻 Is there so much to learn from the bees 🐝 that we don’t even think is relevant into influencers like you point it to us… I wonder when humans will ever learn any other species on the planet 🌎 we as humans can verily communicate amongst ourselves.. as a superior species should be able to understand & communicating with most of live stocks & pets. Would that be amazing.. 🤩
Thanks Dr Rangel very educational.
What is your opinion on dry queens kept as drone producers? You mention that laying workers produce drones of poor quality; but does a good queen that has run out of sperm still make good quality drones which could still be valuable for the DCA? Thanks 😊
p.s. do you have your own page I can follow, I have burning questions that I can't seem to find answers to? 🐝🐝
Dr. Rangel does not have access to respond here. Her contact information is available through Texas A & M University. I'm sure she would be happy to answer your questions.
great lecture, BUT show the power points! The camera person needs to show the power points, lots of information not shown,
Thank you for the suggestion.
Still fuzzy on a drone being a grandfather and not a father.
It can be a father if it gets the chance to mate but she’s saying that it doesn’t have a father due to it being an infertile egg so a drone didn’t contribute to the creation of a new drone but the queen came from a generation before so it inherited genes from the queen which laid the egg (the mother) and the drone that fertilized the previous egg that produced the queen (the grandfather)
I call bs. iv been breeding my own for yrs tightens the bloodline ..
