Abstract

In Apis mellifera there were not many great changes in different essential amino acids contents between control and those fed on artificial diets. The results obtained from treated groups were quite positive as the concentration level of different essential amino acids in treated forager bees were according to the requirements of the forager bees under natural conditions.
