Bacteriological, Physicochemical, and Melissopalynologic Properties of Some Turkish Honeys

Akademik Gıda, 2019
The bacteriological, physicochemical, and melissopalynological properties of some Turkish honey samples obtained from beekeepers and markets were investigated in this study. Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Clostridium spp., Paenibacillus larvae, Bacillus spp., total mesophilic and coliform bacteria were screened to determine bacterial populations in ...

Seasonal and Landscape‐Driven Variations in Forage Resources of Apis mellifera scutellata: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...

Environmental DNA metabarcoding: Transforming how we survey animal and plant communities

Molecular Ecology, Volume 26, Issue 21, Page 5872-5895, November 2017., 2017
Abstract The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth. High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA from diverse kinds of environmental samples (termed “environmental DNA” or “eDNA”).

Landscape‐Wide Metabarcoding Shows Interactions Among the Gut Microbiome and Pollen Diversity in the Invasive Bumblebee, Bombus terrestris

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
The study examines how environmental factors and dietary diversity influence the gut microbiome of the invasive European buff‐tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) in Tasmania. We found that gut bacterial composition and diversity were significantly affected by annual precipitation, pasture percentage, temperature and interactions between pollen ...

Identification of pollen types of beekeeping interest by non‐targeted mass spectrometry

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 62-73, February 2025.
Abstract Background The identification of pollen is important in the field of beekeeping for the determination of the botanical origin of bee products and investigations of bee diet. Until now, it has been performed by melissopalynology, the microscopic examination of pollen grains. However, this technique has some limitations, such as the necessity of

From Flower to Honey Bouquet: Possible Markers for the Botanical Origin of Robinia Honey

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Flowers are complex structures devoted to pollinator attraction, through visual as well as chemical signals. As bees collect nectar on flowers to produce honey, some aspects of floral chemistry are transferred to honey, making chemical markers an important technique to identify the botanical and geographical origins of honey.
