Abstract
Robbing is the takeover honeybee on honey or nectar from other hive in the same species, this process caused damage to colonies in the apiary, rapid spread of transmittable diseases and unequal the strength of colony. This study was conducted to know which hybrid tend to the robbing behavior, to avoid this undesirable manner. Experiments werecarried out in Kafr–Elsheik h governorate to study the robbing behavior in two different honeybee hybrid (Carniolan – Italian). A hundred colonies with no rising disease were chosen to observe the phenomenon. The hive is considered to have been supposed to robbing if many bees of both hybrids are seen dead inside and around the hive. The obtained results showed that, the Italian hybrid bee tended to robbing behavior especially in weak colonies, so it must be careful when used the Italian hybrid in beekeeping.
