UJI EFEKTIVITAS EMPAT VARIASI PROPOLIS TRAP TERHADAP PRODUKSI PROPOLIS LEBAH MADU Apis mellifera L.
Abstract: The propolis
produced by honeybees as it is used a material for cosmetic and health industry
fiberglass-constructed has high economy value. However, the effective methode
for the propolis production has not been found. The objective of this research
was to find out the effectiveness of four propolis traps variations on the
propolis production of Apis mellifera honeybees. Materials used in this
research were sixteen colony of Apis mellifera honeybees and propolis traps.
The propolis production and the formed surface area on traps were collected
from four trap treatments with four replications. The obtained data were
analyzed by using Completely Random Design Analysis and Tukey Test. The most
effective of propolis traps was that made of fiberglasses with hole direction
same as frame direction (the average production of 2.03 g). The largest of
propolis surface area was produced by propolis trap with hole direction same as
frame direction (28.29 cm2). No corellation between the large of propolis
survace (cm2) and propolis production (g) was observed.
