,Topic 1: Selective Breeding for Productivity, Gentleness, and Disease Resistance
1. The main goal of selective breeding in honeybees is:
a) Increasing swarming frequency
b) Enhancing desirable traits like productivity and gentleness
c) Reducing colony size
d) Eliminating drones
Answer: b) Enhancing desirable traits like productivity and gentleness
2. Which trait is most commonly improved by selective breeding?
a) Hive color
b) Honey production
c) Comb thickness
d) Wax melting point
Answer: b) Honey production
3. Gentle colonies are preferred because they:
a) Require fewer inspections
b) Are easier to manage and safer for beekeepers
c) Produce smaller amounts of honey
d) Eliminate pests naturally
Answer: b) Are easier to manage and safer for beekeepers
4. Disease resistance in bees is important mainly because it:
a) Increases wax production
b) Reduces the need for chemical treatments
c) Increases honey crystallization
d) Lowers drone numbers
Answer: b) Reduces the need for chemical treatments
5. Hygienic behavior in worker bees refers to:
a) Cleaning and removing diseased brood
b) Grooming drones
c) Collecting nectar efficiently
, d) Protecting hive entrances
Answer: a) Cleaning and removing diseased brood
6. Which breeding method helps identify colonies with high productivity?
a) Measuring queen weight
b) Tracking honey yields and colony strength
c) Counting drone numbers
d) Weighing wax production
Answer: b) Tracking honey yields and colony strength
7. Colonies selected for gentleness are less likely to:
a) Sting during hive inspections
b) Produce royal jelly
c) Pollinate crops
d) Abscond in winter
Answer: a) Sting during hive inspections
8. A key challenge in selective breeding is:
a) Maintaining desired traits across generations
b) Producing wax
c) Preventing queen egg laying
d) Increasing honey viscosity
Answer: a) Maintaining desired traits across generations
9. Resistant bees against Varroa mites often show:
a) Grooming behavior and mite removal
b) Increased drone laying
c) Reduced pollen foraging
d) Decreased colony size
Answer: a) Grooming behavior and mite removal
10.Selective breeding improves beekeeping by:
