Microbiome and floral associations of a wild bee using biodiversity survey collections

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 26, Issue 6, June 2024.
The core microbiome of the bicoloured sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is described for the first time using pinned museum specimens. Collection method and geographic variation in microbial and plant diversity are also characterised. Ongoing wild bee surveys have potential to reveal hidden stressors underpinning bee health and dietary breadth ...

A comparative melissopalynological study of royal jelly from Turkey

Grana, 2022
Three treatments (Glucose, Sucrose, Bee Feed Syrup) were used to examine the influence of supplementary feeding on the pollen spectrum of the royal jelly produced by Apis mellifera L. colonies. Apis mellifera colonies were located in the Battalgazi and Dogansehir districts of Malatya province in Turkey.

Melissopalynological and Physico-Chemical Properties of Cimil Plateau (Rize) Honey

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi Fen ve Mühendislik Bilimleri Dergisi, 2023
In this study, melissopalynological and physico-chemical properties of the honey produced in the Cimil Plateau were determined. Eight honey samples were taken from Cimil Plateau (Rize province) from different altitudes and localities. All samples were analysed by standard laboratory methods to determine moisture, sugar, proline, diastase and 5 ...
