Abstract
El experimento se llevó a cabo desde el 7 de enero al 9 de marzo del 2006, en el Apiario del Centro Experimental Pillanlelbún
de la Universidad Católica de Temuco, ubicado a 15 km al norte de Temuco, Región de La Araucanía, Chile. En este lugar se
evaluó la producción de apitoxina extraída de colmenas Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera:Apidae). Para la realización del experimento
se contó con extractores de apitoxina del tipo canadiense, los que funcionan a través de electroestimulación. Se utilizaron tres
colmenas para cada tratamiento y se evaluaron dos frecuencias de extracción diferentes, cada 20 días (T1) y cada 30 días (T2).
Las variables analizadas fueron: efecto en el peso de las colonias, mortalidad de abejas y cantidad de apitoxina extraída. No se
encontraron diferencias significativas entre las variables estudiadas (peso colonias p = 0,127; mortalidad de abejas p = 0,827; y
cantidad de apitoxina p = 0,507), por lo cual se concluye que es recomendable realizar extracciones cada 30 días en comparación
a las extracciones cada 20 días, pues es preferible realizar esta operación más distanciada en el tiempo a fin de disminuir costos
de operación y molestias a las abejas.
The experiment was carried out from 07 January to 09 March 2006 in the Apiary of the Pillanlelbún Experimental Centre of the Catholic University of Temuco, located 15 km north of Temuco, Araucania Region, Chile. Here the production of apitoxin extracted from the hives of Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera:Apidae) was evaluated. The experiment was carried out using apitoxin extractors of a Canadian type which function by electro-stimulation. Three hives were used for each treatment and different extraction frequencies were evaluated: every 20 days (T1) and every 30 days (T2). The variables analysed were: effect on the weight of the colonies, bee mortality and quantity of apitoxin extracted. No significant differences were found between the variables studied (weight colonies p = 0.127, bee mortality p = 0.827, and amount of bee venom p = 0.507)and it was therefore concluded that its is recommended to carry out extractions every 30 days rather than every 20 days, since it is preferable to do this operation at longer time intervals in order to reduce operation costs and disturbance of the bees.
