It aims to evaluate the hygienic behavior of the hybrid honeybee colonies by using two assays (pin-killed brood and freeze-killed brood). The readings were taken after 12, 24, 48, 72, and 168 hours. After 48 hours, the findings showed that 50% of bee colonies had achieved high hygienic behavior of more than 95% and average hygienic behavior ranging between 63.66 and 97.66% for the tested colonies. However, the average hygienic behavior of colonies in the freeze-killed brood assay ranged between 61.66 and 96.66%, and the average hygienic behavior exceeded 95% in 41.66% of tested colonies. The findings also showed that the colonies that did not show hygienic behavior in the pin-killed brood assay did so in the freeze-killed brood assay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: Hygienic behavior, pin-killed brood, freeze-killed assay, Syria. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Full paper in Arabic: <a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v12n6p34.pdf\">PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Menos Asaad(1)*, Malek Oumran(2), Nouraldin daher hjaij(1), and\u00a0 Khalil moukayees(2) \u00a0(1).
