Zoohygienic assessment of feed, the basis for successful prevention of padevyj toxidrome

Abstract

This article presents a review of the literature and the results of our own research on the use of glucose-fructose syrup as a substitute for substandard honey and crystalline sugar in the diet of honey bees. The results of research on the search for feed products similar in properties to the natural feeds of honeybees are described, the characteristics of honey of different origins used for forage purposes are given, an idea of its quality and effect on the body of honeybees is given. Based on the conducted research, the authors conclude that in order to maintain optimal health, honey bees need to introduce new industrial products into beekeeping technology, in particular glucose-fructose syrups similar in sugar composition to nectar honey, in order to replace honeydew and feed from crystalline dietary sugar in the diet. The obtained materials can be used as a reference material for continuing research on the nutritional hygiene of honey bees, as well as in scientific activities and in practical beekeeping
