| Abstract | ||
| This study was conducted to study the effects of some factors that could increase the productivity of honeybee venom. This investigation discusses improving the production of the venom from honey bees colonies by using the technique electrical impulses. This study includes several essential axes, Such as using types of different nutrition proteins which are mixed with 50% honeybee. When honey bee colonies contain sufficient areas from bee bread, the extraction by electrical impulses produced during 2011 (40.3 mg dry venom /colony). The quantity decreased to (29.87 mg dry venom /colony) when honey bee deprived from bee bread. It means that scarcity of bee bread in honey bee colonies during period of venom collection reduced their productivity by (-34.78%). Whereas, during 2012 (29.38 mg dry venom) when honey bee deprived from bee bread. The quantity increased to (44.25 mg dry venom) when honey bee colonies contain sufficient areas from bee bread. It means that scarcity of bee bread in honey bee colonies during period of venom collection reduced their productivity by (-50.37%). | ||
