RADIATION INDUCED VIABILITY MUTATIONS IN THE HONEY BEE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4136178
An improved technique for partial-body irradiation of bees is described. The parental queen is placed in a block of lead with the Inst two visible segments of the abdomen extending into a 50 kv x-ray beam. The technique enables comparison to be made between control and irradiated groups, all of which were progeny of the same queen and haploid male. Experimental irradiations using this technique to study viability of mutations are described. Some results of the study are reported, but data are insufficient to make conclusions. The technique is very successful. (T. R. H.)
