The effect of the two insects: Reticulitermes sp. and Apis sp. on the architectural buildings

Abstract

The research contains the knowledge on the most important insects that lived in the architectural building, particularly the two insects: Termites and the wild bees; and the extent of their effect on the old building it is obvious that the Termites formed a threat for some of its components, specially its view when they deformed as well as its building materials. This effect may lead to the structural problems made lost its historical texture. As it's proved that the wild bees were lesser damage on the architectural building than the Termite because they built on the old building walls the stick and sold nests from the clay and some waxes. They caused deformation and corruption of the old building characteristics, especially the decorations, embellishments and inscriptions. The research included also knowing the most important methods to kill the Termite and the wild bees and protect these architectural buildings from their effects.
