Abstract: The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of giving granulated sugar on the development of the Apis mellifera bee population. This study used a randomized block design with 4 treatments and 3 replications. The research treatments were P0 = control (bee box without added sugar), P1 = bee box plus 0.25 kg sugar/week, P2 = bee box plus 0.5 kg sugar/week, P3 = bee box plus sugar sand 0.75 kg/week. The parameters observed were the development of the bee population, the number of eggs and the number of larvae formed. The data obtained were analyzed for variance, if they were significantly different, further Duncan's distance test was conducted. The results showed that the treatment with granulated sugar significantly increased the Apis mellifera bee population (P < 0.05). Bee population P1 (6261.17 ± 1193.24) was higher than PO (5964.58 ± 1251.73), lower than P2 (7697.14 ± 993.49) and P3 (7174.78 ± 1361.78). While P2 is no different from P3. The treatment of giving sugar did not affect the number of eggs and larvae produced by bees, but the higher the amount of granulated sugar tended to increase the number of eggs and larvae. The conclusion of the study was that the administration of granulated sugar could increase the Apis mellifera bee population, but did not affect the number of eggs and larvae produced.
