The Novelty of Azolla pinnata As a Promising Alternative Feed for Honeybee, Apis mellifera (L.)

Abstract

Hypopharyngeal gland development (HPG) and its effect on royal jelly production, abdominal lipid content as well as the longevity of honey bee workers. Hence, the success of our idea of using Azolla as a promising source of protein in feed alternatives for honeybees has succeeded for the first time in the world, and it is considered a new starting point for many studies towards finding unconventional and environmentally safe feed alternatives.
