Abstract
A study conducted to Isolation and identification of Honey bee diseases fungal agents in Iran West Azarbaijan province apiaries. We collected 2000 samples (Adult honeybee, brood, honey and pollen) of 200 apiaries in three seasons (spring, summer and autumn). Samples prepared and cultivated in SDA medium. Finally, Ascosphaera apis, causative agent of Chalk brood disease, didn’t isolate of any apiaries, but 4.29 of samples was contaminated with Aspergillus flavus and 2.04 present of them was contaminated with Aspergillus fumigatus, causative agents of Stone-brood disease.
