“…It has been stated that, bee and bee products may be used as a bioindicator in determining environmental pollution and presence of heavy metals (Nispet et al, 2013). To collect pollen, bees roam an area with an average diameter of 7-13 km and approximately 80-100 flowers.…”

“…To collect pollen, bees roam an area with an average diameter of 7-13 km and approximately 80-100 flowers. Therefore, bees in the hive interact with approximately one million flowers (Dagaroglu, 2004;Nispet et al, 2013). For optimum pollen quality, pollen must be collected from areas at least 3 km away from the source of contamination (Bogdanov, 2006;Campos et al, 2008).…”

In this study, mineral element and heavy metal levels in bee pollen produced in various regions of Turkey (20 samples) and imported bee pollen (4 samples), were determined using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Dptical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-DES) device. Mineral and heavy metal levels of bee pollens produced in Turkey were determined to be within the following ranges (minimum-maximum, µg/g pollen); Cr (chromium): 0.

“…This animal model using the back to evaluate wound healing process is reported for the first time. Unlike previous research models, wounds in this study were experimentally contaminated, left without bandaging, and then healing was assessed daily for 28 d. Wounds on the back of the animal allowed for easy application of the drugs and easy monitoring while the same time they prevented the dog's damaging the wounds and interrupting the process of healing by licking and scratching (7,18,11). Similar to previous reports, it appeared that 1 to 2 mL of Sidr honey were adequate to evaluate the healing effects on the wounds (8).…”

The therapeutic effects of Sidr honey on second-intention healing of contaminated full-thickness skin wounds in dogs were investigated. Povidone-iodine was used as a standard treatment and served as a control. Healthy adult (two-to-four-year-old) mongrels, comprising six dogs and two bitches, were divided into four equal groups in order to obtain multi-aged wounds at the end of the study. Four 2cm × 2cm full-thickness skin wounds were created on both sides of the back area of each dog under general anaesthesia adhering to aseptic technique. Contaminated wounds were then divided into two treatment groups: Group 1, Sidr honey treated (right side wounds) and group 2, povidone-iodine treated (left side wounds). All wounds were evaluated grossly daily at the time of treatment application and digitally photographed once every week. Images were analysed using ImageJ software. The parameters of unhealed wound area and length of advancing epithelium were obtained. The epithelialisation areas, percentage of wound area, and wound contraction rate were then calculated. No significant differences were found between the two treatment groups in any of the parameters studied. Overall, both honey treated and iodine treated wounds healed well within the time period of the study (28 d). However, the study showed a beneficial effect of Sidr honey on second-intention healing of full thickness contaminated wounds in healthy dogs and the effect was comparable to that of Povidone iodine.

“…Pure chestnut, pure rhododendron, and pure blossom honeys were suggested to help initiate wound healing by early elimination of the inflammatory reaction in full-thickness skin wounds in a rabbit model (29). In another study using rabbits, Pistacia lentiscus fatty oil (PLFO), and honey mixture was suggested to enhance healing of burn wounds as evidenced by faster contraction rates, especially when the mixture was applied during the inflammatory phase (26).…”

Non-healing wounds are associated with high morbidity and might greatly impact a patient's well-being and economic status. For many years, scientific research has focused on developing and testing several natural and synthetic materials that enhance the rate of wound healing or eliminate healing complications. Honey has been used for thousands of years as a traditional remedy for many ailments. Recently, honey has reemerged as a promising wound care product especially for infected wounds and for wounds in diabetic patients. In addition to its proposed potent broad-spectrum antibacterial properties, honey has been claimed to promote wound healing by reducing wound hyperaemia, oedema, and exudate, and by stimulating angiogenesis, granulation tissue formation and epithelialisation. Several animal models, including large animals, dogs and cats, and different species of laboratory animals have been used to investigate the efficacy and safety of various natural and synthetic agents for wound healing enhancement. Interpreting the results obtained by these studies is, however, rather difficult and usually hampered by many limiting factors including great variation in types and origins of honey, the type of animal species used as models, the type of wounds, the number of animals, the number and type of controls, and variation in treatment protocols. In this article, we provide a comprehensive review of the most recent findings and applications of published experimental and clinical trials using honey as an agent for wound healing enhancement in different animal models.
