Abstract

The
activity of Lactate dehydrogenaseand β-glucosidase
was determined in Carniolan workers honey bee, Apis
mellifera
L. after feeding on different diets antibiotic ,ripe milk
and some natural plant extract (thyme, clove, cinnamon, black seeds and anise)
. The results showed the highest increase in the β-glucosidase activity was occurred in the diet containing Ripe milk
(106.17%) and the other diets  scored decrease in the activity  , as well as the Lactate dehydrogenaseactivity the results showed highly enzyme activity
in  diets antibiotic and clove 192.56%, & 215.70%. respectively as compared
with the other diets used in this study.
