The internal and histological anatomy of the

alimentary canal differs from an insect to another,

which it was different in metabolous insects , differs in

the larval and adult stage. In honeybee insect Apis

mellifera, the alimentary canal in the larvae consists of

the foregut with esophageal valve, the midgut, which

differentiates also, and hind gut, including ileum and

rectum (Snodgrass, 1984). In contrast, the alimentary

canal in the adult stage consists of the foregut,

including pharynx, esophagus, crop and gizzard, and

midgut with differentiation of the pre pyloric valve

area, and hindgut, divided into a valve, ileum and the

rectum (Snodgrass, 1984; Cruz-Landim, 1985)and the

honey bee Apis mellifera jemenatica is one of the

useful insects and is mentioned in the Holly quran.Both

of (Al Jedani et al., 2010&Al Mehmadi et al., 2010,

and al-Ghamdi et al., 2010) have studied the

histological structure of the guts in various stages of

the insect of Api smellifera jemenatica in both the

queen and worker bees cast.
