Abstract

The best way to maximize profitability through genetic improvement is to use ECONOMIC WEIGHTS of the trait involved. In this research, all of the production costs and incomes involved in beekeeping were calculated and profit equation formulated based on the biology and rearing type of bee colonies. ECONOMIC WEIGHTS of equations were obtained by partial derivation of profit equation based on each trait. By using economic parameters, ECONOMIC WEIGHTS for bee production, defensive behavior and swarming ability were obtained +7417.38, -5370.2 and -15886.4 respectively. These coefficients are showing that in order to direct BREEDING programs toward higher production in HONEY BEEs must be toward increasing honey and reducing both defensive behavior and swarming ability. We used MONTE CARLO SIMULATION to apply ECONOMIC WEIGHTS that we derived for three traits of honey production, defensive behavior and swarming ability. For doing this, we simulated bee colonies and selected the best colonies based on their aggregate genotypes estimated using simulated phenotypes. Our results indicated that the set of ECONOMIC WEIGHTS we used for the three traits led to desired genetic trend in all traits as honey production increased over generations while both defensive behavior and swarming experienced decrease in their population averages. The superiority of simulation method compare to practical use of ECONOMIC WEIGHTS are the later method neither cost much nor takes much time, and it is possible to correct any mistakes in ECONOMIC WEIGHTS before applying them in practice.
