First developed in Korea by Chungjin Biotech, Honeybee Artificial Insemination Instrument is beneficial in improving the breeding by extracting sperm from drones and artificially inseminating to the queen.
Most apiaries are breeding honeybee by natural swarming and it causes genetic variation. The hives are becoming weaker and honey extracting is continually reducing. So, we need special technology to breed good species of honeybee: swarm control, disease-resistance, high honey production ability, queen bee breeding.
Natural mating occurs in midair by chance, it is irregular and hard to control. However, by using our artificial insemination instrument with high fertilization success rate, apiarists can breed improved species by themselves. The technology that can controls bee breed will open up new opportunities.

The operation of the machine is as following: Confine a queen bee for insemination in a plastic tube and anesthetize with carbon-dioxide. Then using a special syringe, extract sperm from drones. The process is completed once the extracted sperm is injected into the queen.

Honeybee is essential insect as they are major source for food and medicine as honey, pollen, royal jelly, propolis and venom. Thus, it is crucial to develop improved breed as it helps increase the quality and the harvest of agricultural products through pollen vector. This technology is inevitable in fostering the development of beekeeping industry.

We, Chung Jin Biotech Co., Ltd., have succeeded in developing a brand new instrument which adopting the electron microscope, lamp, monitor on previous Honeybee Artificial Insemination Instrument model.
Previous insemination instruments required a stereoscopic microscope and illuminator that caused operational and cost inefficiency. Moreover, inefficiency caused by ineffective technical educating system depending on individual physical condition and expertise was main obstacle.
