“…Las condiciones ambientales y el manejo técnico del apiario son los principales factores que influyen en el rendimiento, calidad de la miel y otros productos apícolas (Medina-Cuéllar et al, 2014); más aún, prácticas de alimentación inapropiadas en la colmena podrían afectar la fortaleza de las colmenas y derivar en la adulteración indirecta del contenido de azúcares en la miel (Cordella et al, 2005;Kandolf et al, 2015Kandolf et al, , 2017, la cual puede detectarse eficazmente utilizando un algoritmo de agrupamiento de K medias basado en el contenido de glucosa o el contenido total de azúcar en la miel, un método de medición fácil y económico (Al-Mahasneh et al, 2021). En consideración, (Atencio et al 2023), presentaron los beneficios para la salud al consumir miel de abeja pura, entre los que figuran propiedades antibacterianas, antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias (útiles para el tratamiento de heridas, quemaduras, padecimientos gástricos, respiratorios, oftálmicos y dérmicos, por citar algunos), estímulo del crecimiento de tejidos y fortalecimiento de las defensas del cuerpo y ayuda a recuperarse de la fatiga.…”

Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, el consumo de alimentos nutracéuticos se incrementó considerablemente; siendo la miel de abeja un producto natural apreciado en la medicina tradicional. Sin embargo, la adulteración amenaza la sostenibilidad apícola, porque: i) Reduce los beneficios para la salud de las personas; ii) Genera desconfianza en los consumidores; iii) Es una competencia desleal. Este trabajo es una revisión sobre estos aspectos y cómo prevenir dicho riesgo. Se consultaron 50 documentos sobre la temática, seleccionados por su pertinencia y publicados principalmente durante los últimos cinco años. Como resultados, se tienen diversas técnicas para detectar mieles adulteradas, como la espectrofotometría, el análisis fisicoquímico e inclusive el análisis de ADN. Se recomienda no comprar mieles demasiado económicas, revisar que la etiqueta del producto indique que es 100% natural, que el envase sea apropiado (vidrio o plástico transparente), que la cristalización sea homogénea sin estratos y comprar a apicultores registrados.

Нoney bees (Apis mellifera L., 1758) perform a global plant pollination function. For normal development, bee colonies need to meet their nutritional needs. The study aims to determine the effectiveness of artificial bee feeding to increase their flight activity on pollinating fruit crops. To achieve this goal, a scheme for the use of artificial feeding was developed and the optimal set of feeds was selected as well as the influence of artificial feeding on an increase of colony strength and the flight activity of bees was investigated. The study was conducted in a private orchard in 2020. For feeding of bees used: candy in February (1 kg 5 times with an interval of 6 days); sugar syrup both in March (300 g 6 times with an interval of 3 days) and in April (100 g on the first day of flowering), also for bee training for pollination in April, the second experimental group was fed geranium-flavored syrup (1 %); protein mixture in March (500 g 3 times with an interval of 6 days). It has been experimentally proven that the use of artificial feeding is necessary for effective pollination in April. Those bee colonies that have been fed since the beginning of February have made a cleaning flight three days earlier and at a lower temperature (+8…+10 C) while the control colonies do not increase the required number of bees for effective pollination of fruit crops (first decade of April). The complex carbohydrate-protein feeding of bee colonies according to the developed scheme increases the strength of bee colonies by 5–21 % and increases the number of brood cells by 15.4 %. The effectiveness of bee feeding on orchard pollination is confirmed by an increase in their flight activity by 44–47 % during the flowering of cherries, sweet cherries, and pears and by 26–35 % during the flowering of apple trees. The use of flavored syrup allows increasing the flight activity of bees by 6–12 % compared to non-flavored syrup the day after feeding.

Lately in Ukraine, a promising development area of the sheep industry is young lamb, and sheep's milk. The article analyzes and summarizes the FAO data on lamb and sheep milk production dynamics globally and in Ukraine for the period 2008-2018. The research results indicate that the world production of lamb in general for the stated period increased by 14.0 %. Such countries as Chad (2.15 times), Uzbekistan (1.95 times), and Algeria (1.82 times) observed a significant increase in lamb production. In Europe, the leaders in the production of lamb are Great Britain (289 thousand tons), Russia (205.1 thousand tons), and Spain (119.6 thousand tons). During the study period, the production of lamb in Spain decreased by 23.8 %, in New Zealand, France, and Sudan, respectively, by 21.2; 21.5 and 20.4 %. There is a decrease in this indicator in the UK by 12.8 %, Syria – 12.6 %, and India – by 12.2 %. In Ukraine, the production of lamb in 2018 amounted to 7.8 thousand tons, 7.14 % lower than in 2008. The leading countries in sheep milk production are Turkey – 13.6% of the world's milk volume, China – 11.1 %, and Greece – 7.1 %. Turkey (2.15 times) and Mali (1.92 times) had a high increase in milk production for the specified period. Countries such as Iran (1.37 times), France (1.33 times), and Spain (1.24 times) have had a relatively good increase in milk production over the past ten years. Milk production decreased significantly in Sudan, Syria, India, and Italy, by 17.7, respectively; 9.2; 7.67 and 7.05 %. In general, during the study period, sheep's milk production in the world increased by 16.6 %. In 2018, Ukraine produced 18.1 thousand tons of sheep's milk, 24.3 % less than in 2008. In Ukraine, the decrease in lamb and sheep milk production increased due to the decrease in sheep number by 29.6 % (the increase from 2018 to 2008).
