Abstract

A total of 24 samples of honeybee samples were collected from 12 governorates of Egypt during 2016 and 2017. The most radioactive elements were the K-40 irradiated potassium element in 2016, with the highest sample of Sohag -190 Bq / kg, And the lowest sample was the sample of the lake 0.72 Becquerel / kg, the radioactive thorium was the highest sample in Minia 10.32 Bq / kg and the lowest sample in Aswan 2.5 Bq / kg, Kg, cesium was the highest sample in Sohag 0.1 435 Beckerl/ kg while the lowest sample in Luxor 0.133 . Bq/ kg with an average of 2.51 bq / kg. In 2017, the highest irradiated potassium in Aswan was 40.59 Bq/ kg and the lowest in Assiut was 4.42 Bq / kg. Beryllium was the highest sample in Sohag 3.87 Bq / kg while the lowest sample was in Minya 0.559 Bq/ kg, thorium highest sample. In Sohag 3, 10.66 peckerell / kg, and the lowest sample in Dakahlia was 2.86 Bq / kg, cesium was the highest sample in Sohag 2 506 Bq / kg and the lowest in Sohag 3 252.pikril / kg, uranium was the highest sample in Giza 5.32 Bq / the lowest in Sohag 2 2.01 Bq/ kg.
