N2  - The research was carried out at apiary of Plant protection Dept. Fac. of Agric. Al-Azhar Univ., Cairo, Egypt, to determine the effects of rearing seasons on the quality of honeybee queens under Nasr City conditions. The queens were reared from Carniolan F1 hybrid colonies with wet grafting .The honeybee queens were raised in eight different periods from February to October (2010 and 2011). Criteria for honeybee queens of reared quality including the acceptance and emergence percentages of the grafted larvae and the weight of newly emerged honeybee queens were studied. The average of acceptance rate was the highest in Feb., Mar. and Apr. (82.22, 62.22 %), (68.89, 88.89 %) and (55.56, 48.89 %) while the lowest rate was in Oct. and May (13.33, 17.78 %) and (20.00, 26.67%) in the two years, respectively
