Investigation of bacterial flora of bee intestine in winter ۱۳۹۹ and spring and summer ۱۴۰۰ in the research apiary of Islamic Azad University, Kazerun Branch

In this study, in the winter of ۱۳۹۹ and the spring and summer of ۱۴۰۰, ۵۰ samples of adult worker bees were collected from the hives of the university research apiary each time. This sampling was done randomly using a brush. The samples were sent to the microbiology laboratory following the cold chain. After gastric and intestinal isolation of the samples, sporulated bacilli, lactobacilli, streptococci, micrococci and gram-negative bacilli were identified by microbial culture methods and conventional differential diagnosis. No significant differences were observed between winter of ۱۳۹۹ and spring and summer of ۱۴۰۰. In general, the predominant groups in basal culture of sporulated bacteria were between ۳۹.۴% and ۵۲.۶%. Lactobacilli were between ۲۱.۱% and ۲۴.۶%. Gram-negative between ۳ and ۱۶.۹% and streptococci and micrococci also appeared to be low. In honey medium, sporulated bacilli were ۳۹.۴% to ۵۲.۶% of the total isolated microbes and other groups were present in small amounts.
