Antifungal activity of “HO21-F”, a formulation based on Olea europaea plant extract, in honey bees infected with Nosema ceranae
2022, Journal of Invertebrate PathologyCitation Excerpt :Other authors have screened several plant extracts and reported spore load reductions from 20 to 60 % (Botías et al., 2013; Bravo et al., 2017; Chaimanee et al., 2021; Cilia et al., 2020). However they experienced seasonal variations in consumption rates from 38 to 100 % that can affect the effectivity of the treatments (Botías et al., 2013). This is an important factor that must be kept in consideration, which is directly related to the palatability of the formulations.
Plant-based supplement containing B-complex vitamins can improve bee health and increase colony performance
2021, Preventive Veterinary MedicineCitation Excerpt :In our study, the increase in honey and pollen/bee bread reserves was recorded in supplement-treated group throughout the experiment both in summer and spring. Increase in food reserves was detected in colonies treated with products such as Nosestat®, phenyl salicylate and Vitafeed Gold® (Botías et al., 2013), but also in those fed on an extract of A. brasilensis (Stevanovic et al., 2018). Besides these effects, in bee colonies fed with B + supplement in our experiment, in spring even the activity of the queen bees was preserved, which was manifested by larger brood area in comparison with the control group.
