Abstract

The monthly average weights of pollen grains collected at three trap types along (Mar. 2018 / Feb. 2020) were conducted at apiaries of Carniolan hybrids of Elsharkia Governorate: Diarb Nigm , Abokabeer and Kafr Sakar. Statistical analysis of the 1^st year revealed that there were no significant differences in the weights of pollen grains by 1^st and 2^nd type of traps , where it was 365.8, 360.8 , 357.5 g /trap / colony, for 1^st type of traps at Diarb Nigm , Abokabeer and Kafr Sakar, respectively, and it was 337.4, 336.2 , 335.4 g , for 2^nd type of traps , respectively , while there were significant differences in the weights of pollen grains between 1^st & 2^nd and 3^rd type, where it was 258.1, 256.0 , 255.0 g /trap / colony, for the 3^rd type of traps , respectively. Statistical analysis the 2^nd year revealed that there were no significant differences in the weights of pollen by 1^st and 2^nd type of traps , where it was 364.1, 360.0 , 355.0 g /trap / colony, for 1^st type of traps at the three sites, respectively, and it was 337.9, 335.8 , 334.5 g, for 2^nd traps, respectively , while there were significant differences in the weights of pollen grains between 1^st & 2^nd and 3^rd type of traps , where it was 257.1, 256.2 , 254.2 g , for the 3^rd type of traps , respectively.
