been analysed using SDS-PAGE to clarify the structure and the degree of similarity of
solitary bee venom to the most known social bee venom {Apis mellifera). The data showed
that Apis mellifera venom contains eleven bands with molecular weights ranging from
108,000 to 2,000 D while Anthophora pauperata venom contains eighteen bands with
molecular weights ranging from 108,000 to 6,000 D. Venoms of both species showed strong …
