摘要：

Colonies were established containing the following combinations of queens : 1 free-running queen, 2 free-running queens, 1 free-running queen and 1 caged queen, and 1 free-running queen and 4 caged queens. Brood area and colony weight gain were measured for each treatment. Colonies with 1 queen had the highest colony weight gain. The presence of additional queens in colonies had several negative effects on performance. Mortality of free-running queens was increased by the presence of 1 caged queen, which caused a reduction in brood area and colony weight gain. There was no significant difference in the brood production of single queen colonies, and colonies containing 2 free-running queens. The results do not support the use of caged queens or 2-queen colonies for increasing honey production.
