English : Testing some Feeding Substances and its Protein and Lipid Contents on Rearing Brood of Honeybee Colonies
Arabic : اختبار بعض مواد التغذية ومحتواها من البروتين والليبيدات على تربية الحضنة لطوائف نحل العسل
Abstract Twenty seven of the first hybrid local Carniolan bee race (Apis mellifera camica ) of about equal strength, were chosen to start the planned experiments, bee colonies containing at least four frames of brood covered with bees in the Beekeeping Res. Sec. at Dokki., Giza during 2004,2005. the colonies were arranged in nine groups of three colonies each. Groups from 1 to 8 were tested experimentally, while the group nine was left as a control. Several food stuffs containing considerable amounts of protein available in cheap prices in the local market were chosen for this study. These stuffs were used alone or mixed as follows: Bean pollen grains + sugar (1:2) , Palm pollen + sugar (1+2), drone larvae + sugar + pollen grains (3:6:1), dried medical yeast + sugar + water (3:3:1), soybean flour + sugar (1:2), fish powder + sugar + pollen grains (3:6:1), Lintels + sugar (1:2) and Crud protein + sugar (1:2). These diets were mixed with sucrose solution (1:1 v/v) making a semi dried paste. The paste was divided into small pieces (100g each) to provide each of treated colony weekly. Consumption of these diets percentage by treated colonies was estimated, and the brood rearing areas were measured, Also, the total protein and total lipid contents in applied diets were determined. The protein contents in fifth instar larvae, newly emerged workers and nurse worker haemolymph were determined. The highly consumption percentage obtained from colonies fed an bean pollen (100% ) with the highly area of brood (440.52 inch), while the highly protein percentage was found in fish powder (64.08%) and highly lipid percentage was found in drone larvae diet (41-17%). The obtained results indicated that the highly protein content in fifth instar larvae was found after feeding with drone larvae (6.9%), in newly emerged workers was found in after fed on fish powder (2.32%), while in nurse worker bees was found after fed on drone larvae (4.11 %). It could be concluded that feeding honeybee colonies on diets containing bean brood pollen or drone larvae as fish powder is beneficial to give great areas of brood reared which increased consequently the colony strength to gain an increasing in all commercial products produced from honeybee colonies
