Abstract

An analysis about the production of brood and honey and the variation of the weight gain in africanized bee beehives was accomplished in Limeira and Rio Claro (SP, Brazil), respectively. The data showed that there was a reduction in the brood area in orange blooming time, probably related to the honey stock. As for the weight variation, we can say that there was a gain by the beehives in the end of May and also in the end of November.
