Abstract

This study was conducted in the Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, during two consecutive years, 2021 and 2022. In this research, we designed a new device to collect bee venom in an innovative way, and it works to collect bee venom in both horizontal and vertical directions. We designed this device in this way when we found the bees escaping to It moves higher by moving from the horizontal plate to the hive wall, and then we designed the vertical plate sequentially with the horizontal plate, and gave valuable results for each plate, as shown in the average amount of bee venom during the year / range of the two plates is 676.3 and 684.26 mg in the years 2021 and 2022 respectively. The device has another feature, which is to collect pollen grains on the same device without removing it from the hive, by withdrawing the plates for the poison and adding pollen collection plates. The total average for the colony was 60.6233 and 63.06673 grams. During the years 2021 and 2022, respectively.
