Abstract

The purpose of the presented work was dedicated to identifying the species composition of the mycobiota of honey bees in Azerbaijan condition. From the samples taken from bees, materials became clear that in the formation of mycobiota those materials (from bees, from where they live and their products) in generally participate 52 species of fungi. Among the recorded fungi, species take part such as Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissl., Aspergillus flavus Link, Candida albicans (C.P. Robin) Berkhout, Cladosporium herbarum (Pers.) Link, Penicillium cuclopium Westling, P. granulatum Bainier and etc. which carry features conditionally pathogenicity, toxicity, allergens and danger to biological productivity of bees and as well as to pollution of their products. It is known for a long time to scientists that these species are dangerous for human health. For this reason, preparation of normative documents that reflect the principles of microbiological safety of bee products is a necessary task.

Highlights

  • As known, beekeeping is one of the ancient and very important fields of farming

  • The purpose of the presented work was dedicated to identifying the species composition of the mycobiota of honey bees in Azerbaijan condition

  • Samples for research have been taken from honey bees stored in different regions (Greater Caucasus, Small Caucasus, Khur-Araz and Lankaran-Astara) of Azerbaijan (Figure 1)

Summary

Introduction

People before successfully used chemicals; mixtures of various natural herbs were used and honey was prepared to eliminate the disease [1] [2] As it is noted, beekeeping is closely related with environment, so that, the development and productivity of the bee family depends on climate factors, and on the wild or cultural flora of the area. To use the various chemical compounds for improving the phytosanitary condition of the area, expansion of urbanizationas [3] and an element of biogeocenosis has a serious impact on bees and completely changes their living conditions [4] [5] [6] This changeability can be dangerous to human beings who use honey product for the traditional prophylactic treatment. The complicated aspect of this issue is that, microbiological insecurity of honey is not regulated by regulatory documents
