Integrating pine honeydew honey production into forest management optimization

European Journal of Forest Research, 2013
Pine honeydew honey is an economically important non-wood forest product from eastern Mediterranean Pinus brutia forests, which are also important for timber production. Pine honey is produced by bees that feed on the honeydew secretions of Marchalina hellenica, a scale insect that infests pine stands and feeds on pine sap. The aim of this study was to

Antioxidant capacity of honeydew honey

2010
Researchers found that honeydew honey has strong antioxidant properties, but scientific literature about this variety of honey is still lacking. Moreover, honeydew honey is not found easily in all of the countries. Antioxidant capacity of 21 sample of honeydew honey from Croatian region Gorski Kotar (region where it is possible to harvest honeydew ...

Discriminating pine and fir honeydew honeys by microscopic characteristics

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2006
SummaryWe performed a microscopic analysis of 73 samples of fir (Abies cephalonica) and pine (Pinus sp.) honey from four regions of Greece during 2004. The analysis resulted in the identification of spores of six fungal genera (Alternaria, Cladosporium, Coleosporium, Fumago, Heterosporium and Stemphylium) and urediospores of rust fungi.

Physicochemical parameters and pollen analysis of Moroccan honeydew honeys

International Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2004
Abstract The honeydew elements in 152 honeys from Morocco were studied. The main honeydew indicators are mycelia and fungal spores and, generally speaking, they were found in small percentages. Five mixed or forest honey samples were found by a sediments study, with a proportion of honeydew elements/number of pollen grains from ...

Determination of Bioactive Compounds in Italian Honeydew Honeys

Honey is a natural sweetener produced by bees (Apis mellifera) from the nectar of fowers of blossoming plants (blossom honey) or from the secretions of plants or the excretions on plants of plant-sucking insects mostly from the family Aphididae (honeydew honey).

Biological activity of honeydew honeys with described botanical origin

Food bioscience
The honeydew botanical origin is systematically presented for the first time along with honeydew honeys (HHs) activity. The botanical origin has been of great importance for biological activity and HHs traceability and marketing. A comprehensive systematic review of the biological activity of HHs with described botanical origin was conducted in ...

Sage Honey (Salvia oficinalis) and Fir Tree Honeydew Honey (Albies alba), Autochthonous Honeys of Northwest Croatia.

2004
Annual honey production of Croatia is estimated around 2050 tons and it makes around 0, 16% of World honey production and around 0, 7% of European honey production. That shows that Croatian honey production is very difficult to become competitive, either with quantity as well with price.

1.2.3.1 Scale insect honeydew as forage for honey production

1997
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the soft scales as beneficial insects—that is, scale insect honeydew as forage for honey production. The scale insects that act as a source of honeydew belong to the families Coccidae, Pseudococcidae, Margarodidae, Kermesidae, Aclerdidae and Eriococcidae, many of them living on the bark of trees.
