Abstract

The present work was conducted in the apiary of Plant Protection Institute at Qunatir, Qaluobia on pollen grains which collected by honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) during the year 2013. In Qunatir plantation was studied and indicated that about more than 60 flowering plants were sources for honeybee colonies in this area. The major pollen sources were Indian Corn (Zea maize L.), Egyptian Clover (Trifolium alcxandarinum L.), Citrus trees (Citrus Spp.), Broad bean (Vicia faba L.), Wild mustard (Brassika Kaber Koch), Orientals plants and weed grasses. For The amount of pollen trapped by each colony of bees examined determined the sources and identified of plant sources and the local of the cultivated trees, crops and plants in our area. Pollen traps used to obtain the economic amounts produced from honeybee colonies during different seasons. Pollen gathering activity during  Citrus, Clover and Corn season. The results revealed that the honeybee colonies collected more amount of pollen during August month and summer season. While   the low amounts of collected pollen were in December month and winter season. There were significant differences between all months and between all four seasons. The mean amounts of pollen trapped during Citrus season were 247.66 g/colony. The mean amount of pollen trapped was 355.00 and 1043.33 g/colony during the season of Clover and Corn seasons.
