Abstract
Two Synthetic boney bee workers pheromones were applied to 0.3 feddan of planted of locality variety of apple in Behira Governorate by spray at two times of blooming (50% and 100% bloom) The pheromones were Geraniol and citral at 200 and 400 ppm of both (Nasonov gland pheromones). Results: Showed that there were average of number worker / tree 27.92, 30.48, 36.72 and 38.12 at 50% and 100% blooming after using Geraniol (3days) at 200 and 400 ppm respectively and 31.84, 34.76, 38.97 and 42.12 worker /tree at 50 % and 100 % blooming after using citral at 200 and 400 ppm respectively. On the other hand the average of increased yield was 19.26, 23.61, 21.15 and 25.14 % at 50 and 100 % blooming after using Geraniol 200 and 400 ppm respectively and 18.96, 23.26, 23.50, and 25.24 % at 50 % and 100 % blooming after using citral at 200 and 400 ppm respectively. Recommendation: Industrial used scent gland pheromones for honey bee workers to increase the foraging workers of flowers and thus increase the yield in apples.
