Brood of honeybees (larvae & pupae), was periodically collected at 15 day intervals from the bee hives. The chemical components of these brood were determined and compared with the familiar protein sources. The results indicated that the fresh honeybee brood is rich in protein (16%), fat (3.7%), carbohydrate (4.1%), fiber (0.7%) and ash (0.9%). Several minerals were detected in brood of honeybees, i.e., K, Na, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn, in considerable amounts., vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, B12 and C) were also detected in a pronouncing concentrations.
