Abstract

Our investigation was aimed at determining the extent to which different types of beehives: Langstroth-Root (LR), Dadant-Blatt (DB) and Albert-Žnideršić (AB), made of different material (poplar-tree, lime-tree, fir-tree), with queens of different origin (natural and selected), influence the development of diseases in the hives. All bees used in the investigation belong to the European bee species Apis mellifera carnica. Research results indicate the interplay of all the factors (different types of hives, origin of Queens, and type of wood used for the hive) in the development of diseases in the hives.
