Abstract
The experiment was carried out in the apiary of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences/University of Baghdad located in Al-Jadriya on hybrid only honey bee colonies Apis mellifera L. to find out the effect of nutrients (Matricaria chamomilla , coriandrum sativum, Foeniculum vulgare,Vicia faba, Dianthus chinensis) mixed with the bean powder on the attraction of honey bee workers outside the hives and added. It has the sugar solution on the area of honey, brood (closed and open) and pollen grains inside the hives, where the results showed that chamomile mixed with bean powder is more attractive to worker bees at a rate of 99.8 bees / hour, and less attractive with cloves with bean powder at a rate of 7.7 bees / hour, and that the evening feeding period More attractive to worker bees to food, at a rate of 69.9 bees per hour. The results showed that the rate of the effect of foodstuffs mixed with the sugar solution, as the treatment of chamomile with the sugar solution was higher than the rest of the treatments at a rate of 198.75 Eng2 at reading 3/6, then the rate gradually increased until it reached the highest rate at reading 10/6 and it was The treatment of chamomile with the sugar solution is superior to the rest of the treatments as it reached 257.5 Eng 2. Then the rate gradually decreased until it reached the lowest rate as it reached at the reading 6 / 24 in the treatment of chamomile with the sugar solution with the rest of the other treatments 187.67 Eng2.Corresponding author: E-mail (mohammed.shakir@coagri.uobaghdad.edu.iq) Al-Muthanna University All rights reserved
