In general, most diets containing honey improved longevity and fecundity. Honey + royal jelly and honey + propolis were the best diets improved the longevity of T. evanescens. Honey + royal jelly + propolis, honey alone, honey+ pollen grains+ propolis, honey+ pollen grains+ royal jelly, and honey+ royal jelly resulted in the longest lifetime for T. bourarachae. While the best diets that prolonged the longevity of T. cacoeciae were honey + royal jelly and honey alone. The highest fecundity -during the total life time- was obtained by all diets containing honey, pollen grains+ royal jelly+ propolis, and sugar solution for T. evanescens, honey + royal jelly + propolis, honey + pollen grains + propolis, and honey + pollen grain + royal jelly + propolis for T. bourarachae, and by honey + royal jelly, and honey alone in case of T. cacoeciae UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
