“…This result seems in consistent with the previous observations that monofloral honey has a greater antibacterial effect than multifloral honey [ 44 ]. There is a good correlation between total phenolic content and the biological activity of honey samples [ 52 ]. Alternative medicines have been regarded by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a low-cost option to achieving universal health coverage for the world's population, and member authorities have been encouraged to use plant-based alternative medicines rationally [ 53 ].…”

Honey has recently been rediscovered as an antibacterial and wound-healing natural product. The medicinal properties of honey originate from the floral source used by bees. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of Sudanese crude acacia bee honey and its solvent extracts regarding its biological activity and chemical characterization. To verify the nature of the antibacterial agent(s) of honey, sample (A) Sudanese crude unprocessed acacia bee honey obtained from west of Sudan (Nyala) during October 2019 was tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against 10 standard microorganisms Enterobacter aerogenes: ATCC: 13048, Enterococcus faecalis: ATCC: 29212, Escherichia coli: ATCC: 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae: ATCC: 700603, Pseudomonas aeruginosa: ATCC: 27853, Serratia marcescens: ATCC: 8100, Staphylococcus aureus: ATCC: 29213, Staphylococcus epidermidis: ATCC: 12228, Staphylococcus Methicillin Sensitive MSSA: ATCC: 29213, and Staphylococcus Methicillin-Resistant MRSA: ATCC: 23591. Extraction of honey sample was carried out by petroleum ether followed by ethyl acetate using liquid/liquid extraction technique, using separating funnels. All organic extracts in addition to their aqueous residue were tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against the10 standard microorganisms. Ethyl acetate extract was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) for chemical characterization. Sudanese crude unprocessed acacia honey showed inhibitory effects against the 10 standard microorganisms. Petroleum ether extract showed no antibacterial activity against the tested organisms, while its water residue exhibited remarkable activity. The ethyl acetate extract exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the tested organisms, while its aqueous residue showed no activity. Ethyl acetate extract subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) showed twenty-one chemical constituents. The GC-MS showed twenty-one chemical compounds, and phenolic compound was the highest concentration. Ethyl acetate extract exhibited strong antibacterial activity which can be formulated as topical dressing for wounds and burns. The usage of honey in a professional context should be taken into consideration while treating burns and wounds.

“…The protein–carbohydrate interactions and the occurrence of polyphenol–protein complexes are important for aggregated structures of AgNPs. In recent years, studies focused on the prevention of aging, degenerative heart and nervous system diseases and the protection of foods from oxidation, especially related to human health, have increased by utilizing the antioxidant properties of chestnut honey [ 16 , 20 ]. In addition, the use of honey in dentistry is becoming widespread.…”

In this study, chestnut honey-based silver nanoparticles (CH-AgNPs) were synthesized at different temperatures (30, 60 and 90 °C) and these nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques such as UV–vis spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX). The DPPH free radical scavenging assay was used to determine the antioxidant activity of the obtained nanoparticles. The inhibition effects of these nanoparticles for some clinically important enzymes such as myeloperoxidase and collagenase were investigated. In addition, the disk diffusion method (DDM), agar well diffusion (AWD), and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) techniques were used to determine the antibacterial activity of CH-AgNPs. In honey-based silver nanoparticle production processes using green synthesis, it was determined that the nanoparticle sizes decreased from 55 to 27 nm with an increase in temperature. In addition, it was determined that the rate of inhibition of myeloperoxidase (36.4% to 34.0%) and collagenase enzymes (74.2% to 68.7%) increased with a decrease in particle size. As a result of the antibacterial activity tests, it was observed that CH-AgNPs have antibacterial activity against all target pathogens including Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The obtained results show that CH-AgNPs produced using chestnut honey have the potential to be used in fields such as medicine, pharmacy and cosmetic technology.

“…Recently, interest in bee products has increased due to diseases such as Covid 19, cancer, ulcer, etc. Because bee products have different biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer (Münstedt and Bogdanov, 2009;Alvarez-Suarez, 2017;Pasupuleti, et al, 2017;Keskin et al, 2021;Narimaneet al, 2021). Brood cover wax material is a natural bee product that produced by bumblebees.…”

Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris L.) is a bee race that take part in pollination. It is though Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris L.) is only used in pollination. But, it is not only take part in pollination, it provide to produce different products. Nest cover wax material is a kind of bee product that produced by Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris L.). Although it is considered to be waste, nest cover wax material is an important hive product with its antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In this study, Bumblebee nest cover wax material was produced under laboratory conditions in a controlled manner. Biochemical characterization of nest cover wax material obtained from five different colonies was performed and antimicrobial activities were determined. Accordingly, it was determined that the total phenolic content of the samples ranged between 3.778±0.165 and 9.504±0.353 mg GAE/g. In addition, it was observed that the samples were rich in p-coumaric acid, luteolin, quercetin, t-sinnamic acid, chrysin and pinocembrin components. It was determined that nest cover wax material, which also showed antimicrobial activity, had nearly equivalent activity to beehive products such as honey, pollen and bee bread. The data obtained show that nest cover wax material will be an alternative product for apitherapy applications.
