Abstract In this study 12 acacia and 12 linden honey samples from the Czech Republic were analyzed with a chemometric and volatile compound profiles approach. The results of electrical conductivity (17.4 and 65.1 mS/m), free acidity (12.5 and 24.5 meq/kg), diastase activity (12.6 and 18.8 DN), colour (21.5 and 47.8 mm Pfund), hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) (11.5 and 3.5 mg/kg), fructose (45.1 and 36.3 g/100g), fructose + glucose (F + G) (76.7 and 69.3 g/100g) content and fructose/glucose ratio (1.4 and 1.1) showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between acacia and linden honey, respectively. The physico-chemical properties and pollen profiles were in compliance with the description of European monofloral honey, except for acacia honey due to the low proportion of acacia pollen (2.8 − 10.3%). According to volatile compounds analysis by head-space solid phase micro-extraction coupled with gas chromatography − mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS), nine key volatile substances were selected from more than 100 volatile compounds present in the analysed samples for evaluation as markers of botanical origin typical of the most common plant nectar sources in the Czech Republic. Further, the non-targeted analysis combined with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) revealed trends and outliers within all chromatography data obtained for 24 honey samples. Cis-linalool oxide and β-linalool have been confirmed as markers of acacia honey, while carvacrol and p-cymenene were found almost exclusively in linden honey. The results demonstrated that the chemometrics with the non-targeted and targeted volatile compounds analysis approach is reliable and accurate for the classification of honey of various botanical origins.

Abstract The "medicinal" benefits of honey have been known for thousands of years, being used as an antiseptic, fortifier, soother, healer, laxative, among others. But in addition to its use as a therapeutic, there is evidence that since ancient Rome honey has been used as a food preservative. Currently, the food industry faces several challenges, among which are maintaining the quality and safety characteristics of their products with the minimum addition of artificial ingredients and additives due to the worldwide increase in demand for natural products and functional properties, as well as helping to reduce food loss and thus its ecological footprint. Currently, honey produced by stingless bees has been the subject of research, due to its nutritional value and its bioactive properties of great utility, both in the pharmaceutical industry and in food production. Therefore, a review of published articles describing the potential uses of the bioactive properties of honey, mainly that produced by stingless bees, in the food industry was carried out.

Abstract The haplodiploid sex determination of honey bees and the multiple mating of queens pose challenges in determining the genetic contribution of drones (male honey bees). This is especially important for breeding programs as, for example, when attempting to reinforce traits governing social immunity against pests and diseases. Here, we focused on breeding aiming at enhancing hygienic behavior, a trait that is known to reduce parasite load in honey bee colonies. To evaluate the contribution of drones versus queens to this trait, we conducted a two-step bidirectional selection program. First, we selected colonies with consistent phenotypes for low- or high-hygienic behavior (generation P). From those, we generated two types of daughter colonies (F1). One type originated from queens that had been artificially inseminated with selected drones that originated from queens of either low- or high-hygienic phenotype. The other type of colonies was set from naturally mated queens. We then compared the hygienic performance of the progeny colonies. In the next step, we used the F1 colonies (from either artificially inseminated or naturally mated queens) to produce naturally mated queens, which subsequently generated F2 colonies. These were then examined for the level of hygienic behavior. The results demonstrate the significant contribution of both parents to the phenotype of offspring. In particular, drones had a consistent and significant influence on the hygienic performance of the progeny throughout generations. These findings emphasize the great potential to propagate the hygienic trait in local populations by selecting lines for drones that carry the high-hygienic trait.

Abstract Humanity depends on the processes and resources of natural ecosystems, such as natural grassland fields and forests. These ecosystems depend on pollinators, especially bees, to ensure crossbreeding and plant productivity. Faced with deforestation and the fragmentation of forest remnants, meliponiculture plays an important role in biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration, and generating income for family farmers. Little is known about the effect of landscape on the productivity of native tiúba bees (Melipona fasciculata Smith, 1854) in the Baixada Maranhense Environmental Protection Area (APA) in the Brazilian Amazon. This study aimed to evaluate the landscape effect on M. fasciculata honey productivity in APA. We selected 34 stingless beekeepers, mapped and classified landscapes within a 2,000 m radius around the meliponaries, measured honey productivity, and identified the pollen types. We analyzed honey productivity as a function of landscapes and floral origin. Our results show that honeys from forest landscapes have greater richness and abundance of species, indicating more pollination ecosystem services in these landscapes, but have lower honey productivity. The highest productivity occurs in landscapes with a greater percentage of natural grassland fields and a composition dominated by shrubs. Melissopalynology and geographical information from landscape mapping provided ecological dimensioning of M. fasciculata honey productivity in the APA, which can guide conservation, management, and restoration actions in this region, and enhance the recognition of environmental services provided by stingless beekeepers.

Abstract Essential oils, such as thyme oil, are natural chemicals used to treat Varroa destructor infestations in western honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies. We compared the effects of thyme oil/mineral oil mixtures delivered with an insect fogger or vaporizer to those of smoke from a smoker on the mortality and behavior of adult honey bees (Apis mellifera). Thyme oil delivered by fogging significantly increased caged bee mortality over that of the controls. The behaviors of thyme oil-treated bees in the observation hives were somewhat similar to those of the control bees exposed to smoke.
