| Abstract | ||||
| The present study was carried out during spring seasons, of 2019 and 2020 at a special apiary in Al-Kom Al-Akhdar, Shebin Al-Kom, Menoufia Governorate, to study modern methods of breeding three different honeybee strains in order to reach the optimal methods for beekeeping by using langstroth hive and its impact on the productivity of brood areas, honey, clover pollen production and maize pollen production. The obtained results indicated that the mean production of brood area (inch2) for Langstroth hive ranged from 140.08±0.046 (inch2) for Carniolan honeybee strain to 71.16±0.208 (inch2) for Italian honeybee strain. There were highly significant differences between Carniolan honeybee strain and both of Local and Italian honeybee strains. In addition, the honey production for Langstroth hive ranged from 4316.67±187.82 gr, to Italian honeybee strain with 2566.67±92.80 gr. Also, there were highly significant differences between Local and both of Carniolan and Italian honeybee strains. The mean production of clover pollen for Langstroth hive ranged from 1280.78±767.38 cm for Italian honeybee strain to 938.33±29.40 cm for Carniolan honeybee strain Langstroth. There were significant differences between three honeybee strains Maize pollen production which ranged from 1594.58±36.67 to 1139.93±148.76 cm for Carniolan and Italian honeybee strains, respectively. But, there were highly significant differences between three honeybee strains. | ||||
