Abstract

Four pollen types were chosen, maize (Zea mays), clover (Trifolium alexandrinum), date palm (Elaeis guineensis) and faba bean (Vicia faba) collected by honeybees toinvestigate the feeding effects of honeybee colonies with these pollen types on some of their characters. These characters included the weight of the newly emerging worker and length and width of wax glands.Also included the amount of total protein in bodies of honeybee workers and drones, in hypopharyngeal glands and in sting glands. No significant difference was observed in the weight of newly emerged workers feeding with these pollen types . The same result was also found in the length and width of the wax glands of the honeybees.  The highest total protein percentage was found in date palm pollen (30.50%), while the lowest was found in maize pollen (15.62%). No significant difference was found in the total protein values in the bodies of worker larvae, newly emerging worker, nurse bees, and adult drones. While there were slightly significant differences among, the mean quantity of protein values in the body of forager bees.No significant difference in the total protein of both hypopharyngeal and sting glands was found.
