Probiotics is a general term to describe the different species of healthy microbes that are usually found in our gastrointestinal tract and support our immune system. When ingested in adequate amounts, probiotics can provide health benefits to the host. Their ingestion is thought to replenish microbiota that may have been depleted from injury, medication or diet. When there is a depletion of microbiota, pathogenic bacteria can flourish and cause disease.

Broad-spectrum antibiotics have classically been used in many countries to control the pathogens; however, their use in apiaries was discontinued in several countries due to concerns regarding the health of bees and humans. Therefore, the development of alternative treatments for use in apiaries that are safe for bees and humans is essential.
