Abstract
A biological assay is descr. in which laboratory rats were fed various levels of bee bread in order to evaluate the vitamin A activity and riboflavin content of this food of honey bees. The vitamin A activity of bee bread is equal to that of 6 I. U. and 8.4 I. U. per g. of fresh and dry matter respectively. The riboflavin content was equal to 20[gamma] per gram of fresh and 28[gamma] per g. of dry matter of bee bread.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
