Abstract

This work was conducted in the apiary of Plant Protection Research Institute at El Quanater, Qaliobia Governorate to study the relationship between weight (in kg)of honeybee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) and some activities , i.e.  worker sealed brood area (inch2), stored pollen area and stored honey yields through the period from 1/03/2016 to 5/06/2016. The more weight colonies produced more areas of stored pollen, worker sealed brood, and honey yield compared with the less weight colonies. Results revealed that there are positive significant correlation between weight of honeybee colonies and activities.  The increase in weight of colonies means the increase in stored pollen area, this lead to the increase in brood and honey yields, producing healthy and strong colonies. This research confirms that the weight of the colonies is the most important indicator to measure the activities of honey bee colonies.
