The investigations were aimed to select Apis mellifera L. colonies for queen rearing on the basis of their biological and economical characteristics. Significant variations have been found in various colony parameters viz. colony strength ( to no. of bee frames), brood area ( to cm2 ), prolificness ( to no. of eggs laid / per day), pollen stores ( to cm2 ) and honey stores ( to g). The overall performance of the colonies was measured by average ranking value obtained by colonies for different colony parameters. They were rated on 1-5 point scale basis. The average score ranged from 1 to . On the basis of top score, top 12 colonies (M-1, M-2, M-6, M-7, M-8, M-13, M14, M-15, M-19, M-20, M-22, M-25) were selected for quality queen production with average score between 3 to . | Selection of Apis mellifera L. colonies for quality queen rearing
