AB  - This study was carried out to determine the differences in terms of the rate of accepted larvae, lenght of sealed queen cell, queen weight at emergence, rate of mating, pre-oviposition period of queen bees in the colonies queenright and queenless in rearing queens. The differences of the rate of accepted larvae among rearing groups were found very significant in the months of June and August (p&lt;0.01) and significant in July (p&lt;0.05). As the season passed, the amount of accepted larvae decreased in both groups. The differences between the values obtained from the colonies queenright (25.13&plusmn;0.18 mm) and queenless (30.71&plusmn;0.14 mm) in terms of the average length of sealed queen cell were found significant (p&lt;0.01), while those between the values of queen weight at emergence, rate of mating and pre-oviposition period were found insignificant (p&gt;0.05).
