Abstract
When treating bee colonies, it is necessary to ensure that bee products are not negatively affected. Honey is an irreplaceable natural product, the quality of which directly affects the health of the consumer. The aim of this work was to observe the qualitative properties of honey after the application of autochthonous bee probiotic lactic acid bacteria to honey bee colonies. A probiotic preparation containing the autochthonous bee strain Lactobacillus brevis B50 BiocenolTM in a pollen carrier was used. Mixed flower honeys, five samples from untreated bee colonies and five from probiotic-treated ones were examined. A significant difference between control and experimental samples was noted only in the case of electrical conductivity, which was lower in honeys from probiotic-treated colonies (P < 0.05). Based on the parametres monitored here, the application of probiotics did not have a negative effect on the quality of honey.
