| This study was carried out in three districts of Kafr El-Sheikh governorate; Sidi Salem, Kafr El-Sheikh and Qualien. At each lactation 4 honeybee colonies of first hybrid carniolan honeybee were assigned for the study. The propolis was manually collected. Averages of each month were recorded from June 2011 up to May 2012. The obtained results revealed that colonies at Qualien district produced the largest annual average of propolis (8.3 g/colony) followed by that of Sidi Salem (7.2 g/colony) and Kafr El-Sheikh which produced the least average (7.1 g/colony). In addition, Qualien district, which was the highest in collecting propolis was characterized by high number of camphor (Eucalyptus spp.) tree which is good source for propolis | ||||
