This study was carried out during 2000 & 200 1 to compare between the importance of grafting substrates, which are used in wet grafting and its effect on the characteristics of produced virgin queens. This work considers the consequence of transplantation with pure royal jelly; royal jelly + 10% honey; royal jelly + 10% stored pollen, and royal jelly + 5% honey + 5% stored pollen to deter mine the best technique used for queen production. The results revealed that the acceptance and the different characters of virgin queens emergence were highest by using royal jelly as grafting substrate. The lowest acceptance and different characters of virgin queens emergence were observed, when using royal jelly + 10% stored pollen as grafting substrate. The statistical analysis showed that there were significant difference between the used grafting substrates.
