Abstract Several factors, including environmental degradation, air pollution, intense urbanization, excessive agriculture, and climate change, endanger the well-being of animals plants. One major issues with an increasingly negative impact is agricultural contamination pesticides antibiotics. Seed coatings neonicotinoid insecticides used as a protective layer against pests are shown to exceed permissible limits in most cases. Neonicotinoid compounds bind nicotinic acetylcholine receptors,...

Recently, an increasing interest is paid to bee products obtained as a result of the fermentation process. Some them can be consumed directly (bee-collected pollen, honey, bread etc.), while others are lactic and/or acid (honey vinegar and honey wine). Bee pollens’ fermentation, whereas mead by honeys’ fermentation. Moreover, acetic obtained. Sensory characteristics aroma composition have been scarcely studied, which may depend on starter culture Along with medicinal properties they vital...

Honey bee colonies are often subjected to diseases, nutrition quality, temperature and other stresses depending on environmental climatic conditions. As a result of malnutrition, the level Vg protein decreases, leading overwintering losses. The values must be high for successful wintering, especially before wintering. If good is not reached, long winter period may cause an increase in colony Supplementary feeding essential sustainability when floral resources insufficient, as recent years...
