Abstract
Study was conducted in an apiary at Manshia, 8ia/a. Katr E/-Sheikh governorate during 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 seasons. Results indicated that the F, Italian hybrid performed larger areas of sealed workers brood than Carniolan hybrid with averages of 935.35 and 745.29 inch2fcolonyfmonth in the firs! season while they were 917.79 and 774.92 inch2/colony/month in the second one, respectively. Also, F, \lalian hybrid collected the largest amount of propolis (7.18 & 8.89 g/colony) and pollen grains (865.05 & 901.03 g/colony) comparing with F, Camiolan hybrid with averages of propolls (3.93 & 4.11 gfcolony) and pollen grains (627.87 & 640.90 g/colony) in both seasons, respectively. However, F, Camiotan hybrid secreted more royal jelly (95.80 & 21.80 g/colony) than F, Italian hybrid (89.40 & 17.5 g/colony) in the first season while it was 102.20 & 22.27 g/colony of F, Camiolan hybrid and (92.53 & 16.97 g of F, Italian hybrid/colony in the second one by artifiCial and natural method, respectively. At the end 0 f clover blooming season, the honey yield 0 f F , Camiolan hybrid was more (6.5 & 6.25 kg/colony) than F, Italian hybrid (4.75 & 5.25 kg/colony) in the two tested seasons. Respectively. Vice versa at the end of cotton blooming, F, Italian hybrid was the higher in the honey yield (7.75 & 8.50 kg/colony) than F, Camiolan hybrid (5.75 & 6.25 kg/colony) in both seasons, respectively. From the current results, it could be concluded that the Fl Italian honeybee performed larger areas of worker brood, and greater amounts of proplis, pollen and cotton honey yield than F I Camiolan honeybee. By contrast. the F 1 Caeniolan achieved larger areas of drone brood, and produced greater amounts of royal jelly and clover honey yieled than F I Italian.
