Abstract | ||||
The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of four types of sugary feeding (Glucose, Fructose ,Molasses and Moringa ) on pollen gathering activity of honey bee craniolan hybrid (Apis mell: fera. L.) by estimation of stared pollen amounts. The results indicted that, the average total number of square inches of stored pollen were 3116 , 3132 , 2825 , 3552 and 2566 sq. in/ colony for those Treated with Glucose, Fructose ,Molusses Moringa and control , respectively. The highest rate of gathering pollen was observed during July and May 740 and 685 sq. in/ colony respectively. Moringa gave the highest number of stored pollen 3552 sq. in/colony a whole year than other syrups, while Treated colonies with Molasses gave the lowest number of stored pollen 285 sq. in/ colony . Also, the lowest amounts of stored pollen were observed during autumn and winter season in all treatment colonies. | ||||
