PROBIOTIC APPLICATION IN HONEYBEE BREEDING

Background and Aim:A group of beneficial bacteria have entered marvelous properties in the production process up to the consumption of food. These bacteria are called probiotics. The cycle of agriculture and animal husbandry is important in the food industry. The purpose of this study is the applied importance of probiotic bacteria in honeybee breeding.Methods:The honeybee’s digestive tract is composed of several parts. Honey bag is a place for collecting and storing nectar. This bag contains certain enzymes and acidic conditions. Since microbes exist in the environment, water, soil and plants, it is possible to isolate a group of symbiotic bacteria in the honeybee’s digestive tract.Results:Given the acidic condition of the honey bag, a group of acid-lactic bacteria can be isolated. These bacteria have potential probiotic properties, so these bacteria can be used as nutritional supplements.Conclusion:The use of isolated bacteria from the honeybee’s digestive tract can be a good alternative to medical and antibiotic supplements. It is recommended that probiotics adapted to the digestive tract of honeybees will increase their immune system.
