Abstract

Honeybees (Apis mellifera, L.) are well known plant pollinators with immeasurable benefits, e.g contributing to the human and animal food sustainability and supplying hive products. The present study was carried out in apiary of Agricultural Research Station in El-Arish region, North Sinai, Egypt (31.06"46.1"N3349"37.1"E)during2022-2023years. Four honey bee races, i.e.Italian; A.m.ligustica, Carniolan;A.m.carnica, Italian hybrid; A. m. hybrid ligustica, and Carniolan hybrid; A. m. hybrid carnica, were raised to evaluate propolis production in colonies had similar conditions reared in wooden Langstroth' hives. Four different traps (normal, glass slide, plastic mesh sheet, and fiber mesh sheet) were used for propolis collection. The obtained results showed that: Fiber mesh sheet was superior compared to other collection traps (normal, glass slide, and plastic mesh sheet) and recorded means values 14.28-14.91 g/colony in 2022, and 2023. Total yield of propolis was higher in sep than in other tested months ranging between 663.3- 722.8 g/colony during 2022-2023. High values of propolis production were recorded in the tested bee purebred compared to those of hybrid ones during the of experiment.
