| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to test the effect of honeybee’s extract solution from various body phases compared with clover and citrus honey on the growth of bacteria (Erwinia carotovora and Bacillus subtilis) and Rice blast fungi (Magnaporthe oryzae). Eight samples were tested representing: drone, worker, drone larvae, worker larvae, drone pupae, worker pupae, and honey (clover and citrus honey) on the growth of bacteria and fungi. The results of the experiment indicated that honey has high activity against bacteria and fungi growth. the highest effect of extracts was in Bacillus larvae by worker bee extract 2.5 c.m while less impact was 1 c.m in drone pupa and worker bee extract on both types of bacteria. At the top of the fungi, effect was 77.8% by drone larvae extract while less impact was 73.3% at worker bee, larvae of worker bee, and drone pupa. Compared with clover and citrus; honey was 77.8% inhibition. | ||
