Article Synopsis
  • Honey bee colonies face various challenges such as diseases, nutritional deficiencies, and climate-related stresses, which can lead to decreased levels of the Vg protein and increased overwintering losses.
  • Proper nutrition, especially through supplementary feeding when natural floral resources are lacking, is crucial for sustaining bee colonies and ensuring their health and longevity.
  • A study analyzed the nutritional effects of different pollen sources on Vg and HSP 70 protein levels in honey bees, finding that mixed pollen provided the best results in boosting protein levels, especially in nurse and forager bees during fall.

Honey samples, collected from the Southern Marmara region of Turkey, were analysed for erythromycin residues by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization in the positive ion mode (LC-ESI-MS). Fifty samples, comprising chestnut, pine, linden and multi-flower honeys, were collected directly from hives and analyzed. The limit of detection and quantification were 6 and 20 ng g(-1), respectively, and recovery ranged from 85 to 89%.
