HONEY Researches
Nutrition And Health In Honey Bees
Adequate nutrition supports the development of healthy honey bee colonies. We give an overview of the nutritional demands of honey bee workers at three levels: (1) colony nutrition with the possibility of supplementation of carbohydrates and proteins; (2) adult nutrition and (3) larval nutrition.

Pollen Quality Of Fresh And 1-Year-Old Single Pollen Diets For Worker Honey Bees
Newly-emerged honey bees were placed in cages and fed sucrose syrup and one of the following single-pollen diets: Malus domestic Borkh., Brassica campestris L., Phacelia tanacetifolia L., Melilotus officinalis (L.) Pall., Helianthus annuus L., Pinus banksiana (Lamb.), artificial supplement or nothing.

Antibacterial Effect Of Honey
How great is the antibacterial effect of the enzyme prepared from the secretion of the hypopharyngeal glands? Which is the effect of light or of other inhibitory factors on the inhibiting activity?

Pesticides And Honey Bee Toxicity
Despite the dependence on honey bees for the pollination of crops in the USA, colony numbers have declined by 45% over the past 60 years. Most honey bee losses from 1966–1979 were attributable to organochlorine, carbamate, organophosphorus, and pyrethroid pesticide exposure.

Honey Bee Nutrition
The food of adult worker bees consists of pollen and nectar or honey. The nutritive value of pollen from different plants varies considerably (61, 72, 108, 117). Mixed pollens brought into the hives have a high nutritive value (115) and supply all the� necessary materials for proper development of young animals (4, 6, 68, 109). When dried, pollen quickly loses its nutritive value on storage at room temperature (42, 73, 112), therefore, in studying the nutritive value of pollen for bees, pollens of the same age, preferably freshly collected, should be used to preclude erroneous interpretations of results.

The Effect Of Honey Compared To Conventional Treatment On Healing Of Radiotherapy-Induced Skin Toxicity In Breast Cancer Patients
Patients with grade 3 skin toxicities (RTOG Criteria) larger than 15 mm in diameter, without cutaneous diseases or previous radiotherapy in the region of the skin toxicity, were included. After giving informed consent and randomization, cases were treated once daily with honey gauze (HoneySoft† ) and controls with paraffin gauze.

How Honey Kills Bacteria?
The broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of honey is multifactorial in nature. Hydrogen peroxide and high osmolarity—honey consists of 80% (w/v) of sugars—are the only well-characterized antibacterial factors in honey. Recently, high concentrations of the antibacterial compound methylglyoxal (MGO) were found specifically in Manuka honey, derived from the Manuka tree.

Honey - A Remedy Rediscovered
The ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Chinese, Greeks, and Romans employed honey for wounds and diseases of the gut. Honey was the most popular Egyptian drug being mentioned 500 times in 900 remedies.
