This study was done to determine the degree of metals and heavy in some bee pollen sample as biological indicator for environmental pollution. Sample were collected from industrial, urban agricultural areas Jordan year 2017. Eight (As, Cd, Cu, Mg, Pb, Ni, Se, Zn) continents analyzed by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrum, (ICP-OES). Results statistically interpreted ANOVA analysis. Metals content China determined within following ranges (minimum-maximum mg/kg); Cu...
Abstract Background The presence of phenolic acids in edible products for human consumption is considered relation to the production odorant substances, with a variety different aromas. Objective Phenolic substances anthocyanidins, anthocyanins, flavanols, flavones and isoflavones, flavones, flavonols, etc. – are extremely interesting as flavor additives, anti-aging or maturing agents, color aroma enhancers. Method connection between flavoring properties on one hand compounds other can be...
Paenibacillus larvae is one of the major bacterial pathogens honey bee broods and causative agent American foulbrood (AFB) disease. The factors responsible for pathogenesis AFB disease are still not fully understood, increasing resistance P. to commonly used antibiotics requires a search new agents control this An in vitro screen was carried out determine antagonistic activity gut bacteria isolated from indigenous bees, Apis mellifera jemenitica Saudi Arabia against larvae. isolates were...
The primary objective of this study was to establish data on mastitis in Awassi Sheep Al-Balqa Province Jordan. Milk samples were collected from 260 lactating ewes that selected randomly eight flocks. California Mastitis Test (CMT) gave result with 220 milk samples; 122 (55.5%) showed positive CMT. Infection some bacterial species associated About 26% the revealed clinical signs mastitis. highest percentage count, which range 3×102 <3.0 103 cfu mL-1 founded samples. most predominant bacteria...
Background: Increasing antibiotic resistance and the appearance of multidrug-resistant pathogenic strains bacteria fungi are becoming a serious global problem.The use biological insecticides instead chemical has been increased because their safety, specificity biodegradability.Objectives: The objectives study were to identify Streptomyces isolates screened from soil determine antibacterial, antifungal insecticidal activities.Materials Methods: collected soils in various habitats Jordan...
Propolis is a gum-like product gathered by bees from various plants. It known that the propolis has anti-bacterial, anticarcinogenic, and immune-stimulating biological activities. In present study, we have investigated anti-microbial activity of against certain important human microbes. The paper disc diffusion method was used to investigate inhibition zones were measured. Results revealed ethanolic water extracts strong inhibitory potential Aspergillus brasiliensis Varga Escherichia coli...
The effect of several volatile plant oils, materials and fluvalinate (Apistan®) strips on the control mite Varroa destructor honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies was studied. oils were: clove, lavender, peppermint, sage, thyme. cumin fruits, eucalyptus leaves, worm wood flowers. For each tested material, three treatment periods were carried out. Each period lasted for 24 days followed by eight no-treatment. Within period, an average to six treatments applied. Dead mites counted one hour...
The study was planned to evaluate the genetic variation and migration rate among two populations of giant honey bees "Apis dorsata" from districts i-e Nankana Narowal Punjab, Pakistan at molecular level by using Randomly Amplified Polymorphic (RAPD) DNA marker technique. Worker bee samples A.dorsata were collected five different sites each. Then, extracted. data obtained after ten oligonucleotides RAPD primer usage for Polymerase Chain Reaction amplification subjected POPGENE (Population...
Diabetes is a disorder affecting various-aged humans and which can with time cause serious problems for the patient. Medicinal plants are known their hypoglycemic effects; among ginger (Zingiber officinale) also its culinary uses. This study, therefore, was undertaken to evaluate histological effect of 21-day treatment aqueous extract used at 500 mg / kg BW on female diabetic rats. Fifteen albino rats were divided into three groups; Group I: control, II: non-treated diabetic, III:...
The current study aimed to investigate the important reproductive biology and morphology of A.m. jemenitica queens drones through measuring weight virgin mated queens, size spermathecae, ovaries, number ovarioles, quantity viability semen in queen drones. Accordingly, average weights 0.139 ± 0.01 g 0.143 0.013 recorded for respectively. sizes spermathecae were 1.248 0.103 mm 1.25 0.022 mean ovaries was 0.003 numbers ovarioles varied from 124 163 with 142.9 9.47 no significant difference...
The Reverse Transcription-polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is an excellent technique for the detection of honeybee viruses. In this study, presence Sac Brood Virus (SBV) and Black Queen Cell (BQCV) was demonstrated in 100 samples, collected from Jordanian colonies by employing RT-PCR. samples represented infected (depopulation, paralysis, or dark coloring), dead, apparently healthy honeybees different developmental stages (adult larvae). SBV detected 37% whereas BQCV 5%. Nucleotide...
This research was conducted during the period of February 2011 to October 2014 at apiary Faculty Agriculture, Al-Balqa Applied University in Jordan. Honeybee queens Apis mellifera carnica and syriaca were raised investigate some morphological reproductive characteristics determine most suitable race hybrid be reared under Jordan apiaries conditions. races between them affected queens’ weight, pre-oviposition period, volume spermatheca, number ovarioles both ovaries, length ovary, beside...
It is possible to classify various propolis samples based on their botanical or geographic origins, since environmental conditions and the harvest season have an impact chemical ingredients that make up propolis. In current research, determination geographical classification of according mineral/metal content are addressed. Acid digestion was employed for recovery inductively-coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry used accurate quantification. Multivariate techniques, PCA PLS-DA, were...
