Compression Between Modified and Common Honey Bee Hive on Honey Bee Activity

Abstract
Beehives are a practical way to keep a bee colony. It protects them from environmental factors and predators. The beekeeping industry has seen very few changes and improvements to the widely used langstroth or common hive. The aim of the present study is to compare the bee activity of modified and combined honey bees in the apiary of the Faculty of Agriculture, Mansoura University during the 2020 harvest season. The areas of stored pollen, worker brood, and sealed honey area compared to the modified hive. The results revealed that the mean average incubation of female workers was in the third week of May. There is a significant positive correlation between the type of honey bee hive and its activities. A modified hive is much more effective for honey bee activities than langstroth or common hive. Increased worker brood in colonies means increased pollen storage area, which results in healthy, vigorous colonies. This research confirms that an altered hive is the most important indicator of increased activity of honey bee colonies. The modified cell has removed the defects of the foaming cell and increased the efficiency of the common hive.
