Abstract
The activities of honeybee colonies were recorded along two successive years 2014 and 2015 at three localities of Elsharkia Governorate. Statistical analysis of the obtained data revealed that there were no significant differences in the monthly average area of sealed brood honey bee  along the years of study , while there were significant differences in the monthly average area of sealed brood honey bee in  inch2 / colony among the year months , where the highest mean area of sealed brood honey bee per colony were recorded at July and August recording  220.2 and 208.9 inch2  at 2014 year , and  the highest mean area of sealed brood honey bee per colony were recorded at July and August recording  220.2 and 208.9 inch2   at 2015 year.  As for the average weights of pollen grains (g) /trap/month at the three localities of Sharkia governorate along 2014 and 2015 months, the highest mean average weights of pollen grains (g/trap/month) were recorded at July and August months recording 203.7 and 219.9 (g/trap/month) at 2014 , and the highest mean average weights of pollen grains (g/trap/month) were recorded at July and August months recording  207.8 and 224.0 (g/trap/month) at 2015.  The highest weights of honey were recorded at clover season recording 15.83 kg / colony at citrus season (LSD 5% = 2.03), followed by cotton and citrus seasons giving 10.42 and 9.61 kg / colony without significant differences at 2014 months, and the highest mean average weights of pollen grains (g/trap/month) were recorded at July and August months recording 203.7 and 219.9 (g/trap/month) at 2015 months.
