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 adulteration generates low quality products on the market. The study aimed to find a simple, specific and less time-consuming method than standard melissopalynology only, for monitoring honey botanical geographical origin. In this 42 samples from different sources were examined their origin by using protein patterns electrophoresis SDS polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE). melissopalynological analysis consisted of counting all melliferous pollen, non-melliferous pollen honeydew elements...
Throughout history, honey has been used for many different purposes and due to its medicinal properties, one of the products marketed by traders. The figure bee first appeared in drawings on rock with history humanity, then statues, as a logo, money or stamps, also movies. Beekeeping museums, which present historical process beekeeping, reflect an important culture their ancient hives, documents, beekeeping materials, antiquities. contribution bees sustainability natural life is very 100...
The present study investigates the impact of solid-state fermentation on bee-collected pollen using a consortium Lactobacillus plantarum, Apilactobacillus kunkeei, and acidophilus. Another aim is to compare nutritional bioactive properties natural versus fermented pollen, focusing macronutrient composition, pH, acidity, lactic acid content, profiles polyphenolics flavonoids. Our results indicated significant enhancements in contents amino acids, suggesting improved protein alongside...
Cyclamen species (swinebread spp.) are perennial herbaceous plants which belong to the Primulaceae family, widely used as medicinal or ornamental plants. Currently, gibberellic acid (GA3), an environmentally friendly bioregulator is enhance productivity and phenotypic characteristics of multiple crops. A dual experiment was conducted evaluate influence (50, 100 150 mg/L), on germination earliness seeds, along with growth quality selected species. Additionally, a greenhouse long short...
The present study was carried out to evaluate and compare in vitro antioxidant (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Trolox equivalent capacity (TEAC), ferric reducing power (FRAP)), antimicrobial, anticancer activities, the individual carotenoids anthocyanins content of methanol extracts Cyclamen genotypes: Persian cyclamen accessions (Cyclamen persicum Mill.), sowbread (C. mirabile Hildebr.), ivy-leaved hederifolium Mill.) aerial parts. HPLC-PDA analysis revealed presence five (i.e.,...
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...
Morphological and molecular characterization of germplasm is essential for the improvement cultivated plants efforts. This study investigated genetic diversity 32 Cyclamen genotypes comprising 16 C. persicum varieties species using multivariate analysis 36 morphological traits (19 quantitative 17 qualitative) (SRAP SCoT markers). The color CIELab parameters were collected via PCE-CSM7 that separately measured leaves dark silvery patterns flower's slip (region petal top), eye (the region...
This study evaluates the suitability of three lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains—Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Apilactobacillus kunkeei—for use as probiotics in apiculture. Given decline bee populations due to pathogens environmental stressors, sustainable alternatives conventional treatments are necessary. aimed assess potential these LAB strains a probiotic formulation for bees through various vitro tests, including co-culture interactions, biofilm...
Bioactive molecules from the class of polyphenols are secondary metabolites plants. They present in honey nectar and pollen flowers where honeybees collect “raw material” to produce honey. Robinia pseudoacacia Helianthus annuus important sources for production two monofloral honeys with specific characteristics biological activity. A high-performance liquid chromatography–electro spray ionization–mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI–MS) separation method was used determine polyphenolic profile types...
Rosa spp., commonly known as rosehips, are wild plants that have traditionally been employed herbal remedies for the treatment of a wide range disorders. Rosehip is storehouse vitamins, including A, B complex, C, and E. Among phytonutrients, vitamin C found in highest amount. As rosehips contain significant levels they perfect candidates development skincare formulations can be effectively used different skin disorders (i.e., scarring, anti-aging, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, melasma, atopic...
The main purpose of the present study was to determine effect associating an optimized ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) protocol with enzyme-assisted (EAE) in aqueous media, using dried berries Hippophae rhamnoides L. (sea buckthorn) as plant material. A specialized software used for determination potential optimal parameters, leading development four extracts different characteristics (UAE ± EAE). For these extracts, buffered or non-buffered solutions have been used, aim influence...
(FJ), commonly known as Japanese knotweed, is now recognized one of the most invasive plants in Europe and globally. Despite its widespread presence significant nectar production, there currently limited scientific data on unique unifloral honey derived from it. This study examines physicochemical composition
Fallopia japonica (FJ), an invasive plant species known for its rich bioactive compounds, has been used centuries in traditional Chinese medicine. Despite significant beekeeping potential, this aspect of FJ remains underexplored. This research aims to investigate the antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties plants honey. Notably, study is first identify individual phenolic compounds both tissues honey, highlighting resveratrol as a marker The tested inhibitory activity against seven...
Present study aimed to establish the stimulatory effects of bee drone larvae (BDL) on androgenic and growth performance goat male kids (GMK). The BDL testosterone hormone levels were investigated in Saanen kids. A total 26 (13 heads control, 13 treatment groups) used for determining 60 days after weaning period. was obtained from "good beekeeping practices" hives. Hormone levels, trials, testes characteristics, body measurements determined every 14 75, 90, 105, 120, 135 trial. increasing...
Bal mumu arı kolonisinin yaşamsal faaliyetlerini üzerinde yürüttüğü peteğin ham maddesidir. Arıcılık işletmeleri için bal, polen, sütü ve ekmeği gibi bal da bir ürünüdür. absorbe etme yeteneği kaynaklı kovan içi dışı kirleticileri bünyesinde biriktirebilmektedir.

Abstract Climate change affects plant phenology and, as a result, can damage nectar and pollen sources, which are the basic needs of bees during flowering. This situation creates nutritional stress for bee colonies in region. Changing climatic conditions, use agricultural lands adversely honeybees beekeepers. The aim this study is to determine annual development performance fixed honeybee linked with chemical mineral profile collected pollen. According research findings, terms colony...
Streptocarpus is a very popular houseplant with colorful flowers, and has thus piqued the curiosity of plant enthusiasts breeders. In this study, “Natalie” “Bristol’s Gum Drop” were artificially hybridized to study influence parental reciprocal crosses (P1×P2 P2×P1) on vegetative generative morphological traits F1 progeny. Mean comparisons for characters parents plants from both revealed that able express hybrid vigor several valuable characteristics. Pearson correlations showed significant...
