Abstract: 【Objective】 The objective of this study is to research the effect of dietary crude protein levels on growth and larval antioxidation of Apis mellifera ligustica Spinola. 【Method】 Thirty cages of honey bees obtained from a local apiary were used in the study. Honey bees were randomly allocated into 6 groups (with 5 replications each and 1 cage in each replication). One of the groups was fed pure rape pollen only (control, group A) and others were fed the diets with crude protein levels at 15% (group B), 20% (group C), 25% (group D), 30% (group E) and 35% (group F), respectively.【Result】During the trial period, there was no significant effect of dietary crude protein on the population of bee colony (P＞0.05). The hatchability and percentage of pupation of group F were significantly higher than those of group B (P＜0.05). The larval protein of group E was significantly higher than that of groups A, B and C (P＜0.05). With the dietary protein level increasing, there was no significant effect on T-SOD activities of larva (P＞0.05), while the content of MDA was decreased (P＜0.05). 【Conclusion】These results indicated that the population of colony did not differ significantly with the crude protein content in this experiment, and 30%-35% of dietary crude protein level was optimal to maintain the highest growth performance and antioxidant activities.
