N2  - Organization of bee societies formany years is of interest to many study topic. In this study the antimicrobialactivity of diluted with ethanol five fraction nest was assayed in vitro byagar disc diffusion method against 8 bacteria and 2 fungi species.The ethanol extracts of almostall the nest exhibited antibacterial antifungal activity towards one or anotherbacterium against to all of microorganism used in this study. The maximumantibacterial antifungal activity was shown by diluted 25 µL (2.5 mg), 20 µL (2mg), followed by and 15 µL (1.5 mg), respectively. The antimicrobial activitiesof the extracts of bees nest against bacteria were more effective than thoseagainst fungi.The obtained results show thatnest may be used as possible natural, antimicrobial agents to control varioushuman, animal and plant diseases.
