Seasonal patterns of beneficial phytochemical availability in honey and stored pollen from honey bee colonies in large apiaries

Abstract: Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.; Hymenoptera, Apidae) are the most efficient pollinators in agroecosystems, responsible for the successful production of fruits, nuts, and vegetables, but they continue to face debilitating challenges. One of the major factors leading to these challenges could be linked to poor nutrition that results in weakening the colony, increasing susceptibility to pests and pathogens, and reducing the ability of bees to adapt to other abiotic stresses. Extensively used for commercial pollina… Show more

“…Chogoria honey from Eastern Kenya was very different from all the African honey samples investigated herein including the Manuka 5+ honey. However, since the amounts of these phytochemicals vary seasonally [ [42] , [43] , [44] ], elucidating the influence of seasonality on their levels and consequently on the bioactivity of these African honey types is recommended.
