Thirty two colonies (each five combs) of hybrid Camiolan honeybees were divided into two groups at the beginning of each blooming period. The first group was left in the apiary of the Fac. Agric, at Kafr El-Shiekh region without moving, The second group was moved to El-Khaleeg, Motobes and Ammya Village locations (Kafir El-Sheikh Govemorate) during the blooming periods of faba bean and each of clover and cotton, respectively and moved to Rasheed and Hosh Essa locations (El-Beheira Govemorate) during the flowering periods of citrus and squash, respectively.
