Prepare a bee sperm bank

Scientists have come up with an effective way to deal with swarming disorders in bees: establishing a sperm bank for them.

Honey bees in the world are in a difficult situation, because the amount of pesticides that are too large and overused has destroyed their bodies, as well as having to deal with a type of parasite that prevents development. of young bees.

And yet, living among human cultures limits their nutritional diversity

The US bee community is facing a critical challenge

The inevitable consequence is that they are falling into a swarm of turmoil , only the phenomenon of worker bees suddenly disappears, pushing the whole herd into a tragic outcome and threatening the natural pollination cycle in agriculture.

Researchers at Washington State University (USA) said that they have found a way to settle this problem, in the first direction to diversify the gene pool of honey bees in the United States.

The Atlantic Wire quoted Susan Cobey as an expert to explain that bee semen remains fresh for 10 to 14 days under normal room temperature conditions. They will be transferred to the laboratory to freeze or pumped into the selected bee's egg nozzle.

Previously, semen will be collected from the most powerful and best bees in Europe, then pumped into the most powerful beehouse in the US, thereby strengthening and diversifying the bees in the US.

As for the question of how to store honey bee genetic material for many years, experts found liquid nitrogen could do this.
