U ovom istraživanju izvagano je 150 matica nakon izlijeganja uzgajanih iz presađenih jednodnevnih ličinki. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi korelaciju mase izlegnutih matica s veličinom matičnjaka mjereći volumen, širinu i dubinu matičnjaka. Prosječna masa izlegnutih matica iznosila je 206,14 ± 28,25 mg, najmanja utvrđena masa iznosila je 121,30 mg, dok je najveća iznosila 260,70 mg. Najveća pozitivna korelacija (r (150) = 0,597) utvrđena je između mase matice i volumena matičnjaka, dok je najmanja korelacija utvrđena sa širinom matičnjaka (r (150) = 0,335). Na osnovu dobivenih rezultata može se zaključiti kako veličina matičnjaka značajno utječe na veličinu matice. Iako su iz većih matičnjaka dobivene teže matice, odstupanja je ipak bilo poput izlijeganja lakših matica iz većih matičnjaka i obrnuto. In this study, 150 queens grafted from day-old larvae were weighed after hatching. The aim of the study was to determine the correlation of the hatched queens body mass with the size of the queen cells by measuring the volume, width and depth of the queen cells. The average body mass of atched queens was 206.14 ± 28.25 mg. The lowest recorded body mass was 121.30 mg, while the highest was 260.70 mg. The highest positive correlation (r (150) = 0.597) was found between queen body mass and queen cell volume, while the lowest correlation was found with queen cell width (r (150) = 0.335). Based on the results, it can be concluded that the size of the queen cell significantly affects the body mass of the queen. Although heavier queens were obtained from larger queen cells, the deviations were noted, such as smaller body mass queens hatching from larger queens and vice versa.
