From late autumn until the end of winter conditions, bees are exposed to many stress factors including low air temperature and several pathogens.This study aimed estimate effects three commercial materials (acetylsalicylic acid, Echinacea purpurea extract, vitamin (C) mixed with sugar feeding on some parameters related tolerance using laboratory field tests.The tests supported potential role C extract enhance ability temperatures.The most promising results for recovery time after exposure temperatures, survival rates narcosis, hemocyte count were recorded these two materials.After strength bee colonies fed approximately equal before winter.However, contrary was obtained acetylsalicylic acid control group.Thus, or as safe additives can boost during period.
