Full textAbstract:
Apiculture plays a vital role in maintaining a genetically diverse ecosystem and is an economic activity that contributes to the development of rural communities, thereby enhancing the livelihoods of beekeepers. However, despite the presence of over forty thousand beekeepers in Peru, there is currently no cartographic information available on optimal areas for the development of apiculture. Our study focused on assessing the suitability of land for apiculture development in rural and indigenous communities within the Amazonas Department in northwest Peru. We integrated biophysical and socioeconomic criteria using the Multiple Criteria Evaluation (MCE) technique, in conjunction with state-of-the-art geoinformation and earth observation techniques, to model and validate land suitability for supporting apiculture. It was identified that suitability is influenced by biophysical criteria (65%) and socioeconomic criteria (35%), resulting in highly suitable areas covering 315.6 km2 within the territory of peasant communities, 128.4 km2 within native communities, and an additional 41.4 km2 within conserved areas. Furthermore, to validate our results, we combined the use of high-resolution satellite imagery and visits to artisanal producers. This research provides valuable insights for spatiotemporal land use planning, emphasizing apicultural activity as a driver of rural development and biodiversity conservation. Consequently, this study contributes as a management tool to promote apicultural activities as support for rural development and in local-level decision making.

The importance of apiculture to the improvement of rural livelihoods and the condition of ecosystems cannot be overemphasized. However, globally, the level of beekeeping is still low. Therefore, it is important to examine the potential to develop apiculture, the extent of beekeeping, and the factors for practicing it in various places. This study explores these themes, focusing on Same District in Tanzania. Two wards with apparently great potential to engage in beekeeping were purposefully selected, and one village was selected from each ward. Structured and in-depth interviews were conducted and remote sensing and geographic information system were deployed to obtain the land cover map indicating the potential to develop apiculture. It was found that Same District has enormous potential to develop apiculture, including, forests, which cover 17,430 hectares, equivalent to 2.8% of the district’s total area, woodland, which covers 65,358 hectares (10.5% of the total area) as well as extensive agricultural land and water bodies. Further, a good road network makes the district more potential to apicultural development. Despite this state of affairs, only 9.5% of the respondents were beekeepers. Low practicing of beekeeping is attributed to limited knowledge, bees’ aggressiveness, lack of capital and lack of access to suitable areas to situate beehives. Moreover, lack of modern beekeeping skills, conflicts, deforestation, bees’ absconding behaviour, and drought hinder the apiculture development. Therefore, it is recommended that farmers be educated on modern beekeeping and environmental management practices to improve bee forage.

The symbiotic relationship between bees and the environment underscores the potential of apiculture as a sustainable practice. Bees, as pollinators, play a crucial role in ecosystem health and biodiversity conservation. Their pollination services are essential for the reproduction of numerous plant species, including many crops that constitute the backbone of agricultural economies. Beekeeping can diversify income sources, reducing dependence on single crops and enhancing household resilience to economic shocks. The aim of this paper is to explore the multifaceted role of apiculture as a tool for sustainable rural development. In conclusion, apiculture holds immense promise as a tool for sustainable rural development, offering a pathway towards economic prosperity, social inclusion, and environmental stewardship. By harnessing the synergies between bees, biodiversity, and community development, beekeeping has the potential to transform rural landscapes and livelihoods. However, realizing this potential requires concerted efforts to address the challenges and barriers that hinder the widespread adoption of beekeeping practices. Through collaborative action and integrated approaches, it can unlock the transformative power of apiculture and build resilient, vibrant, and sustainable rural communities for generations to come.

There is urgent need to rescue Nigerian economy from deluge of crisis it is been confronted with atthe present time. To achieve this, it is pivotal to explore various potentials available in the country to solve her problem. Therefore, this paper examines the potential of apiculture industry in social and economic development of the nation. Hive products such as beewax, propolis, pollen and royal jelly are known to have contributed largely to the economic development of advanced countries like China, Turkey, Mexico, Argentina, Hungary, Australia and Canada. While the practice provides job opportunities for people of all classes, it also boosts productivity of other agricultural crops. Honey from Nigeria will command higher demand and prices in the world market for its medicinal and antimicrobial qualities, thereby serving as a good foreign exchange commodity in international market. As part of its contribution to economic growth, apiculture is a good source of income for beekeepers, it involves the use of little land. It empowers small scale farmers and also does not damage the environment. The paper also stressed that apiculture is not only important for generating income, it also curbs against rural migration. Apiculture protects the environment and also an important non-timber forest product.

Ukraine is compelling in looking for ways for its agriculture products in new markets, like European or Asian, in today's realities. One of the agriculture branches, which is promising in looking for new markets, is considered beekeeping. This industry provides high-quality, nutritious, biologically active products and also allows to enter Ukrainian farmers in the international markets. Beekeeping is not only the direction of agricultural industry, but long time respected industry. UN organization says that beekeeping can be a key element to problem solving the global food crisis. Honey is a product that is one of the first to enter the level of trade relations. Currently, the global honey market is considered not only as maximal globalized as possible, but also one, wich often suffers to falsifications, therefore the control of the quality and safety of beekeeping products is the key to the success of the aforementioned industry. The purpose of this article was to analyze the development of beekeeping in the Zhytomyr region. Zhytomyr region, in some its areas, can make the honey production like a business card. The studying and comparison of information about beekeeping development was carried out in the context of the districts on the basis of statistical data from the Main Directorate of Veterinary Medicine of the State Service of Ukraine for Food Safety and Consumer Protection in the Zhytomyr region. In the article presented the analysis of the information about the number of apiaries and the number of api-families, which was registered in the different districts of the Zhytomyr region. The vast majority of the apiaries are privately owned in Zhytomyr region. Only less than 1% percent of the apiaries are in the public sector. This case is complicating the quality control of products. We estimated the middle size of the apiary. These intents were based on the number of the bee-families and numerous of bee-gardens in the regions of the Zhytomyr region. The percentage of apiaries certification was determined, which was a marker of quality and safety of the beekeeping products held in these farms. This index reaches 100% in some regions. Laboratory tests of detecting bee-diseases showed predominantly a positive epizootic situation in regional bee-farms.

Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the cost and returns on the use of traditional and modern methods of honey production and barriers faced by farmers.
Material and Methods: Primary data was collected from 100 beekeepers using both purposive and random selection techniques. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics and cost and return analysis.
Results: The modern methods of apiculture had a higher honey yield (105.4 litres) than the traditional method (52.3 litres). Also, modern methods had a higher gross margin (₦123,434.54) and benefit-cost ratio (2.99) than traditional methods, with a gross margin of ₦73,055.46 and a benefit-cost ratio of 2.99. The major constraints faced in apiculture include pests, hive theft and vandalism, changing climatic conditions, lack of equipment, and lack of capital.
Conclusion: The modern method of beekeeping was more profitable and the best technique to use in honey production. This study recommends sensitization and training on modern apiculture, the provision of modern equipment, and credit facilities to beekeepers to enable them to adopt the modern method.

Abstract This article examines the role of the stingless bee Melipona beecheii in beekeeping practices in the Yucatán Peninsula, México, in the nineteenth century. Native to Yucatán, the Melipona bee is capable of producing large amounts of honey and has been bred by Maya communities for over three thousand years. In the twentieth century, the Melipona population declined with the implementation of modern apiculture, a system designed to maximize the production of honey and wax with the European native honeybee, Apis mellifera. Previous scholarship on beekeeping has labeled the development of modern apiculture and the systematic expansion of the European honeybee across the Americas as a success story. However, these studies do not consider the cultural, economic, and social transformations brought by the introduction of Apis mellifera in environments that were already rich in bee biodiversity. In order to provide some clues about the impact of—and responses to—modern apiculture, this article focuses on the moment before this process occurred in the Yucatán Peninsula, when Melipona was still environmentally, culturally, and economically significant. The author argues that, far from being an unchanging cultural practice doomed to be superseded by modern apiculture, Melipona beekeeping continued to adapt in sophisticated ways to a modernizing world. During a period of upheaval, extraction of natural resources, environmental exploitation, violence, and Indigenous peoples’ defense of their land, the Melipona continued to be the only domesticated bee species used for beeswax and honey extraction in the entire peninsula during the nineteenth century.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years honeybees have attracted a great deal of attention, an attention that seems to be rather unlikely when one looks at the general relationship between humans and the environment, which is often taken for granted. This study aims to look into one kind of corporate initiative in urban apiculture to reconnect humans and nature again. In particular the focus is on motivation, implementation and the impact these initiatives have on sustainable development. A transdisciplinary approach has been adopted that combines different perspectives of beekeepers in the field, scholars and business. It is thereby important to note that adopting apiculture as part of a corporate sustainability strategy is a rather recent trend, which reflects both the scope and the results of the study. This study has found the primary motivation behind apiculture projects for corporations to be raising awareness about the fate of honeybees (Apis mellifera) and supporting honeybee population numbers. This also reflects in the impact on sustainable development. Not only does the urban environment offer an ideal habitat that shows benefits for honeybee health and their honey, but honeybees also benefit the urban environment through their pollination services. And although the connection between corporations and apiculture seems to be alien at first glance, benefits also extend to the corporations themselves, including a greater identification with the corporation by its employees, more cooperation both within one corporation and with other corporations and more publicity. Urban apiculture can thus help reconnecting society and nature in different ways. However, the greater the abundance of honeybees the more limited seem their benefits and initially positive impacts might even turn negative. To prevent this, the study therefore concludes that it is important to decide about the extent in which urban apiculture is adopted on a case by case basis that is possibly supplemented by planting additional forage.

The main objective of this essay was to analyze the contribution of a central cooperative organization for honey producers, production commercialization and strengthening of the associative tendency in rural areas. It also includes as a point of interest; to situate the breeding process and organizational structure of this central, evaluating business strategies adopted for market integration, identifying their socioeconomic impacts on family farms and throughout the territory. Hence, it is asked which organizational and commercial strategies were adopted by the central cooperative? What were their socioeconomic impacts on the territory in which it operates? Such issues have been analyzed with reference to the Brazilian Central Cooperative Apicultural Semiarid - House APIS - located in the city of Picos, State of Piaui. The APIS House, founded in 2005, has a social body made up of eight credit unions, operating in 52 municipalities of the states of Piauí and Ceará, covering 960 beekeepers in the productive chain of honey. Focusing on the organization of honey producers in the city of Picos, the center becomes an important economic organization of the region of Picos, an instrument fostering productive reorganization projects and establishing commercial partnerships at the national and international levels. A qualitative approach was supported by combined techniques of data collection via semi-structured interviews, conducted from a script, field observation, literature review, document analysis and some technical resources. The central cooperative studied allowed us to observe, their contribution to the consolidation of the Local Productive Arrangement (APL), around the production and marketing of honey in the region of Picos. Such an arrangement contemplates the participation of cooperatives of natural honey producers, public agencies and private entities, allowing a particular dynamic in the territory. The study also highlighted the importance of the House APIS in the organization of beekeepers, in the stability of the price of honey in the local market, the expansion of production volume and, expansion of commercialization of honey markets, bringing impacts to job creation and expansion income as well as contributing to the dynamism and local economy.
Constitui como principal objetivo desta pesquisa analisar a contribuição de uma central de cooperativa de mel para a organização dos produtores, a comercialização da produção, e o fortalecimento do tecido associativo no espaço rural. Também constitui como fonte de interesse situar o processo de criação e a estrutura organizacional desta central, avaliando as estratégias comerciais adotadas para sua inserção nos mercados, identificando os seus impactos socioeconômicos sobre os produtores familiares e sobre o território. Questiona-se, nesse sentido: quais as estratégias organizacionais e comerciais adotadas pela central? Quais os seus impactos socioeconômicos para o território em que está inserida? Tais questões foram analisadas tendo como referência a Central de Cooperativas Apícolas do Semiárido Brasileiro – a Casa APIS – situada na cidade de Picos, no Estado do Piauí. A Casa APIS, fundada em 2005, possui um corpo social formado por oito cooperativas singulares, atuando em 52 municípios dos estados do Piauí e do Ceará, além de abranger 960 apicultores dentro da cadeia produtiva do mel. Tendo como foco organizar os produtores de mel na cidade de Picos, a central torna-se um instrumento importante de organização econômica da região de Picos, ao fomentar projetos de reorganização produtiva, como também estabelecer parcerias comerciais no âmbito nacional e internacional. A abordagem metodológica qualitativa foi amparada por técnicas combinadas de coleta de dados, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, realizadas a partir de um roteiro, além da observação de campo, pesquisa bibliográfica, análise documental e alguns recursos técnicos. A central de cooperativas estudada nos permitiu observar sua contribuição para a sedimentação do Arranjo Produtivo Local (APL), em torno da produção e comercialização do mel na região de Picos. Tal arranjo contempla a participação de cooperativas singulares produtoras de mel, de órgãos públicos e de entidades privadas, permitindo uma dinâmica particular no território. O estudo evidenciou ainda a importância da Casa APIS na organização dos apicultores, na estabilidade do preço do mel no mercado local, na ampliação do volume de produção e na ampliação dos mercados de comercialização do mel, trazendo impactos sobre a criação de empregos e a ampliação de renda, contribuindo para o dinamismo e a economia local.

nÃo hÃEsta dissertaÃÃo tem como objetivo analisar os resultados alcanÃados pelo Projeto APIS Araripe, que foi direcionado para atender à cadeia produtiva da apicultura na microrregiÃo de Picos no Estado do PiauÃ, no perÃodo de 2005 a 2007, tendo como resultados o aumento da produÃÃo e da produtividade de mel. Inicialmente foram feitas regressÃes utilizando-se somente as dummys dos anos (2004 e 2007) nos dados da regiÃo de influÃncia do projeto para, atravÃs da anÃlise de diferenÃa em diferenÃas (D in D), procurar avaliar o impacto do Projeto. Os resultados mostram que, a produtividade foi alterada intensamente, de forma positiva, pela aÃÃo do projeto, demonstrando que, de uma forma geral, beneficiou a produtividade de mel na regiÃo. Em relaÃÃo à produÃÃo, a exemplo da produtividade, tambÃm foi alterada intensamente de forma positiva pela aÃÃo do projeto. Entretanto, ao controlar-se regressÃo pelo nÃmero de colmÃias habitadas (colhab) e enxames perdidos (enxperd) o resultado à outro. Os estudos revelam que a produÃÃo, diretamente, nÃo à afetada significativamente pela aÃÃo do projeto. Pode-se dizer, que o incremento da produÃÃo se deve ao aumento do nÃmero de colmÃias habitadas e a reduÃÃo das perdas de enxames. NÃo se pode afirmar, entretanto, que tais fatores foram melhorados pela aÃÃo do projeto. Isso demandaria uma anÃlise mais profunda. Observando-se a influÃncia do projeto na produtividade/produÃÃo de mel, identificouse os fatores que foram decisivos nessa influÃncia atravÃs de modelos de regressÃo simples.
This work analyzes the performance of the APIS Araripe Project, which was developed to meet the supply chain of beekeeping in the Picos Microregion in the federative state of PiauÃ, in the period 2005 to 2007, having, as a result, the increase the honey production and its productivity. At first, regressions were made, using only data of the dummies of the year (2004 and 2007), in the region influenced by the project, to assess its impact, through the analysis of difference in differences (D in D). The results show that the action of the project has been altered the productivity, extensively and in a positive way, which mean that the productivity of honey, in general, has been benefited, in that region. Likewise the productivity, the production has also been affected in a positive way, by the action of the project. Another result comes out after controlling the regression by the number of beehives populated (colhab) and lost clusters (enxperd): according to the studies, the production is not directly affected by the actions of the project. One could say that the increase in production is due to the increased number of beehives populated and yet the losses reduction of swarms. However, no one can assure these factors were improved by the action of the project, because it would require a deeper analysis. Observing the influence of the project on productivity / honey production, it was identified the factors that were decisive influence in simple regression models.

Beekeeping has been used as means of increasing income for farmers in Zone of the South Forest of Paraíba State. This activity was financially supported by the Support Program (PAPPS) Revolving Fund Supportive, funded by the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MTE), too by the SENAES, as well as Bank of Northeast of Brazil (BNB), a policy of solidarity finance the "repayable", where the beekeeper gets the fund and has as fundamental element the investmentin beekeeping. The central objective of this study is to investigate possibilities for sustainable development of the territory with beekeeping that receives public funds. The research methodology is qualitative, based on field research in locus observations, in-depth interviews among more precisely between Settlements Tambaba and Nova Vida. With the arrival of the Revolving Fund Supportive, this activity had rise and, in this perspective we had as its central objective to verify possibilities of local territorial sustainable development from beekeeping as an alternative income producing, through this public policy. The cooperative of beekeepers of Paraíba - COOAP received this fund and invested among beekeepers, this fund, called "repayable" is not refunded to the bank, but needs to be redistributed among beekeepers

Full textAbstract:
Beekeeping, and especially the production and sale of honey, is an on-farm diversification strategy that has significance to rural livelihoods in some of the most economically and environmentally marginalized regions of the world. Beekeeping also supports sustainable agriculture since it requires that vegetation and forest cover remain intact. However, the limited resources of beekeepers, including marketing constraints, make it difficult for them to realize the full value of their beekeeping enterprises. This professional paper focuses on the Eco-Morazán Cooperative in El Salvador as a case study to examine the costs, benefits and market potential of three types of certification schemes: 1) Fair Trade, 2) Organic, and 3) Rainforest Alliance Certification. The paper draws on information from existing literature, and extended field visits and informal interviews with representatives from the cooperative. It concludes with recommendations on how the cooperative can take advantage of the benefits of these certification schemes. These include suggestions for both the cooperative and Rainforest Alliance initiative, the only one of the three not currently certifying apicultural production.

No semiÃrido do Nordeste brasileiro, a apicultura apresenta-se como uma alternativa de exploraÃÃo autossustentÃvel dos recursos naturais, com grande potencial para recuperaÃÃo de Ãreas degradadas. No entanto, à necessÃrio que seu manejo seja realizado de forma racional. Este trabalho teve como objetivo traÃar um comparativo entre a tÃcnica de apicultura racional utilizada por comunidades da Serra do Salitre 1 e a forma de manejo extrativista da comunidade Quilombola da Serra de Salitre 2, localizadas no municÃpio de Salitre - CE. Para realizaÃÃo deste estudo, foram feitas visitas em cada comunidade. Durante as visitas, foram observados os procedimentos de localizaÃÃo, captura e avaliaÃÃo do crescimento dos enxames, de preparaÃÃo para as colheitas, de extraÃÃo e envase do mel. AlÃm desses aspectos, foram observados, nas comunidades de Salitre 1, o tipo e a localizaÃÃo dos apiÃrios e a forma de manejo das colmÃias. TambÃm foram realizadas, nas duas Ãreas estudadas, entrevistas abordando aspectos socioeconÃmicos e ambientais. Diante dos resultados obtidos, pÃde-se concluir que a apicultura racional, de Serra de Salitre 1, conseguiu interligar os aspectos sociais, econÃmicos e ambientais, uma vez que gera emprego, renda e alimento para as famÃlias, sem se descuidar das questÃes ambientais, inserindo, portanto, as comunidades no contexto da sustentabilidade. Em relaÃÃo a Apis extrativista da Serra dos Chagas (Salitre 2), verificou-se que o conhecimento dos meleiros à totalmente empÃrico, adquirido atravÃs de seus avÃs e pais e da prÃpria experiÃncia em campo. Eles nÃo tÃm conhecimento da biologia das abelhas e da verdadeira importÃncia delas para o meio ambiente e para o desenvolvimento da regiÃo. Ante os resultados obtidos, concluiu-se que a apicultura racional deve ser incentivada na comunidade dos Quilombolas por meio de programas de educaÃÃo para a sustentabilidade socioeconÃmica e ambiental da regiÃo e de capacitaÃÃo dos meleiros para a atividade apÃcola. TambÃm à imprescindÃvel que sejam implementadas polÃticas pÃblicas que possibilitem a transferÃncia de tecnologias de manejo apÃcola em substituiÃÃo à extrativista.
In the Brazilian Northeast semi-arid, beekeeping is presented as an alternative to operating self-sustaining natural resources, with great potential for reclamation. However, it is necessary to be managed rationally. This study aimed to draw a comparison between the technique of rational beekeeping used by the communities of Serra de Salitre 1, and the extractive management of Quilombola community of Serra de Salitre 2, located in the district of Salitre - Ce. For this study, visits were made in each community. During the visits, the procedures observed were location, capture and evaluation of swarms growth, the preparation to harvesting, extracting and bottling of honey. Besides these aspects, they were observed, in Salitre 1 communities, the type and location of apiaries and the hives management. It was also performed, in the two studied areas, interviews addressing socioeconomic and environmental aspects. Through the results, it was concluded that the rational beekeeping, Serra do Salitre 1, managed to link the social, economic and environmental aspects, generating employment, income and food for families, without neglecting environmental issues. Thus, it inserts the communities in the context of sustainability. Regarding Apis extraction of Serra dos Chagas (Salitre 2), it was found that meleirosâs knowledge is entirely empirical, acquired through their grandparents and parents and their own field experience. They donât have any knowledge in biology of bees and their importance to the real environment and the development of the region. Based on the results, it was concluded that the rational beekeeping should be encouraged in the Quilombola community through education programs for the socioeconomic and environmental sustainability of the region and training of meleiros for beekeeping. It is also essential that public policies be implemented that allow technology transfer management to replace the extractive beekeeping.

Full textAbstract:
This article consists on the study of how beekeeping can contribute to the economic development of small agricultural communities. The case study is the Retirense Association of Beekeepers (ARAPI) established by inhabitants of the «Retiro São Bento» community, located in the «Pantanal» in the city Barão de Melgaço in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The objective is to study the structure of the productive net of this organization as well as its importance for the development of the region where it is inserted. The research has been based on observation in loco and in information in documents yielded by Association and Ecological Ranch «SESC Pantanal». This is the entity that promoted the first actions for the insertion of the beekeeping in the «Retiro São Bento» community. As it has been already pointed in some studies, the Pantanal is an ecosystem of beehive, and then, the ARAPI has gotten success in its production and consequently the community could increase the familiar income, and promote actions for the development of the beekeeping as well as to guarantee a longer time of the biological wealth of this environmental «pantaneiro» to the next generations.Este artigo constitui-se no estudo de como a apicultura pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento econômico de pequenas comunidades rurais, em especial no caso da Associação Retirense de Apicultores (ARAPI) fundada por moradores da comunidade Retiro São Bento localizada no Pantanal do município de Barão de Melgaço em Mato Grosso. Tendo como objetivo estudar a estrutura da rede produtiva desta organização bem como sua importância para o desenvolvimento da região em que está inserida, os meios de investigação se basearam em observação in loco e coleta de informações em documentos cedidos pela Associação e pela estância Ecológica SESC Pantanal, entidade que promoveu as primeiras ações para a inserção da apicultura na comunidade Retiro São Bento. Como já apontado em alguns estudos, o Pantanal é um ecossistema de grande potencial apícola, desta forma, a ARAPI tem obtido êxito em suas produções e, consequentemente a comunidade pôde incrementar a renda familiar e promover ações conservacionistas em benefício tanto para o desenvolvimento da apicultura como também para garantir por maior tempo a riqueza biológica deste ambiente pantaneiro às próximas gerações.

Full textAbstract:
The Brazilian semiarid has a floristic diversity of very interesting apicultural benefits, which can directly influence the productive results of such activity. In this context, the present work aimed to analyze the apicultural flora in two different realities (anthropized area and preserved area) and its influence on honey production. The municipality of Parelhas, where the experiment was located, is in the Seridó Potiguar microregion, in the southern center of RN. For this experiment, 30 Langstroth standard hives were used, divided into two nuclei of 15 hives each. They were about 2km apart. From September 1, 2018, to January 20, 2019, all colonies were weekly fed with 800ml of 1:1 water syrup and sugar. The old wax was changed to honeycomb wax in all hives. During flowering, a floristic survey of the surroundings of both areas studied was made differently. In the surroundings of nucleus 1, 46 botanical species of apiculture interest were found, and 12 species around nucleus 2. Regarding honey production, nucleus 1 presented an average of 37 kg per hive and 2 presented 5 kg. After all the procedures we verified that only core 01 obtained a higher honey production, and the results in this core were satisfactory.

Full textAbstract:
The queen bee carries the same genetic information as worker bees. Still, the genomic expression is variable, eventually resulting in the development of an enormously sizeable female bee, with an enriched blend of pheromone possession, a comparatively long life span, better immunity, development, and physiology. Differential developmental patterns compared to the workers are due to the influence of royal jelly, ultimately inducing differential genomic expression. Furthermore, with profound pheromone secretion, the queen regulates the colony's development, differentiation, reproducibility, behaviour, communication, and task management. This chapter briefly describes honey bees' morphology, development, and reproductive system development.

Variant genomic expression and proteomics ultimately induce plasticity in honey bees' ovarian development. The expression of the same genomic content in female castes is influenced by; the compositional difference between royal jelly and workers jelly, queen pheromones, hormones associated with metamorphosis and environmental cues. Various concerned genetic elements with diversified transcriptomics include Kr-h1,hsp, Cut-like protein gene, Ftz-F1, anti-apoptotic buffy, Incov, oat, Apaf-1, ark, Incov2, MAPK, FoxO, mTOR, Hedgehog, TGF-β, Wnt, Hippo, Toll, Imd, H3K4me3, H3K27ac, H3K36me3, etc. The specific genetic elements are responsible for the structural and functional activation of the queen ovary. In workers, the same genetic factors act as the primary criterion for induction Programme Cell Death (PCD). This chapter attributes to enlisting concerned genetic elements which serve as an inducer for divergent ovarian development. The next chapter describes the details of PCD in workers' ovaries.

Full textAbstract:
Apis mellifera (2n=32), commonly known as the European honey bee or the Western honey bee, is a eusocial insect. Each honey bee colony is a composite unit of thousands of bees, with three different castes: a polyandrous reproductively active queen; thousands of workers; and a few hundred drones. The queen and the workers represent the female caste that develops from fertilized eggs, whereas the drones are male bees formed from unfertilized or fertilized eggs. In the case of the female honey bees, the phenomenon of polyphenism can be easily highlighted, which is the developmental plasticity of the same genomic contents to express differently as per environmental cues. During the queen larval developmental phase, the exclusive diet is royal jelly, which induces hyper-secretion of juvenile and ecdysone hormones that ultimately cause sequential activation of certain genetic elements, specifically after 3rd instar onward. For the worker honey bee larvae, initially, the diet includes royal jelly exclusively, followed by honey, pollen grains, and worker jelly, which collectively direct development toward the worker caste. Furthermore, for harmonious social interaction, the queen secretes certain volatile chemical bouquets including 9- ODA(2E)-9-oxodecenoic acid), 9-HDA (9-hydroxy-(E)-2-decenoic acid), 10-HDA (10-hrdroxy-2-decenoic acid), HVA (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylethanol), HOB (Methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate), 10-HDAA (10-hydroxydecanoic acid), OLA (oligolactide), methyl oleate, decyl decanoate, linolenic acid, coniferyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, etc. The concerned pheromones facilitate the regulation of workers' behavior; workers' ovarian suppression; retinue control; overall worker’s development modulation; colonial product production; swarming tendency; pseudo-queen formation suppression; mating, etc. The queen honey bee is polyandrous, as she mates with many drones during the nuptial flight in 'Drone Congregation Areas (DCA)’, within about 2 weeks of her post-emergence. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the polyandrous queen honey bee; her synchronous developmental phases; her pheromone dominance; her regulation and coordination of colonies; her mating preference and habits; and her role in a composite hive. Subsequent chapters provide an elaborative view of different aspects of the queen honey bees' life cycle.

Full textAbstract:
Drone honey bees develop from haploid/unfertilized/diploid eggs produced by parthenogenesis or from fertilized eggs having identical sex alleles, formed after sexual reproduction, with more probability when the queen mates with drones of the same hives. Nurse bees generally remove diploid drone larvae due to cannibalism hormones secreted by developing larvae. Further, the development of drones is influenced by colony temperature, hence can be completed within 24-25 days. Queen attracts drone honey bees toward herself with pheromones9-ODA,9-HAD and 10 HDA. Drone number depends upon the colony's environmental conditions and available food to the colony. The specific chapter provides deep insight into the development of drones, the biology of drones, the reproductive system and the mating behaviour of particular castes.

Full textAbstract:
Before the 4th instar larval phase, worker larvae exhibit totipotency to develop into either female caste. In subsequent larval stages, differential expression of various genetic elements occurs under the prominent induction of royal jelly, developmental hormones, and volatile queen emission. In the honey bee female caste, anatomical reproductive disproportionality establishes due to this diversification of genomic expression. Exponential fertility and pheromonal profiling of the queen regulate colonial strength, colonial productivity, submissive behaviour, and the development of workers. Different factors prevailing within the hive or outside of the colony premises influence the queen's quality. For example, the queen's fecundity is negatively proportional to the age of the worker larva before entering the queen differentiation pathway. Further, numerous additional factors like genomic content, physiology, quality and quantity of royal jelly, colonial food storage, social environment, queen pheromones, etc. influence queen reproductive potential. Further, queens have differential immune protective characteristics for different pathogens and parasites. This chapter highlights influencing factors for non-synchronous ovarian development and variant immune-protective measures in female honey bees. The subsequent chapters elucidate the details of workers' ovarian programmed cell death under the regulation of multiple factors.

Full textAbstract:
In the realm of rural revitalization driven by technological advancements, the concept of “smart agriculture” assumes a paramount role. Within this context, apiculture and crop cultivation exhibit a profound interdependence, yet, historically, these two domains have developed somewhat independently in terms of digital resource cultivation and the establishment of information platforms. This disjointedness has resulted in a lack of efficient interaction and organic integration. In this article, we delve into the symbiotic dynamics between apiculture and crop cultivation, guided by the principles of symbiosis theory. We propose a symbiotic model rooted in design thinking and harnessing the potential of information technology to optimize mutual benefits among beekeepers, agriculturalists, bee species, and the ecological environment. By crafting an innovative bee pollination service system, we strive to achieve a multifaceted equilibrium of demand, promote comprehensive interplay within the industry, and foster the sustainable development of ecosystems. Consequently, our study offers strategic insights that extend beyond the agricultural sector, serving as a scholarly reference for the construction of symbiotic service systems in diverse fields.

Full textAbstract:
Queen Mandibular Pheromones (QMP) include (E)-9-oxo-2-decanoic acid(9-ODA), (R)-and (S)-(E)-9-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid(9-HDA), methyl 4- hydroxybenzoate(HOB), 10-hydroxy-decanoic acid (10-HDAA), 4-hydroxy- -methoxyphenyl ethanol (HVA), and10-hydroxy-2 (E)-decanoic acid (10-HDA), whereas worker honey bees mandibular gland pheromones include mainly 10-hydrox- -2 (E)-decanoic acid (10-HDA),10-hydroxydecanoic acid (10-HDAA), and 2- mainly 2-heptanone (2-H), traces of 9-hydroxy-2 (E)-decanoic acid (9-HDA) and 9-ODA. Biochemical modifications of stearic acid occur through hydroxylation of stearic acid at ω or ω-1 positions in worker honey bee and queen, synthesizing the primary pheromones listed above. 9-ODA pheromone influences alcohol dehydrogenase gene expression, and the specific enzyme is essential for converting 9-HDA to 9-ODA in worker honey bees. Further, the differential synthesis process is influenced by the gene expression of various cytochromes. QMPs impose differential influence on various developmental, functional, and behavioural regulations on nest mates, which include retinue behaviour, suppression of the development of worker honey bee ovaries, wax secretion, drone attraction, swarming, queen dominance regulation, general regulation, mating, and reproduction, juvenile hormone secretion in workers, foraging behaviour and the different submissive response of workers in the presence of the queen.

Full textAbstract:
Larval feeds for different castes of honey bees include exclusively royal jelly from 4–9 days of development for the queen, and for worker larvae, royal jelly and worker jelly for 4-6 and 6–9 days respectively, whereas for drone larvae, royal jelly and a blended composite mixture of honey and pollen grain for 4-6 and 6–9 days respectively. For the queen, worker, and drone larvae, larval feeds include royal jelly and worker jelly for 4-6 and 6–9 days respectively. Royal jelly is a thick, creamy substance that is produced by the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker honey bees. Its primary components include water, hydrocarbons, proteins, lipids, minerals, vitamins, and a small amount of various types of polyphenols. Because the queen eats different larvae than the worker bees, this triggers a chain reaction of biochemical reactions, which ultimately leads to a high concentration of juvenile and ecdysone hormones being released. These hormones, in turn, regulate the expression of different genes in a sequential manner. Queen larvae have a variant proteomic that promotes the healthy development of the female reproductive system, which in turn leads to profound fertility and immune protection, as well as a longer life span for the queen.

Full textAbstract:
Different queen pheromones attract colonial workers who respond by forming a surrounding group around the stationary queen. This specific behaviour is considered retinue behaviour. Workers lick, groom, and antennate the queen to get pheromones which influence workers' behaviour, physiology, development, hormones, reproduction, etc. Various pheromonal glands like the Mandibular gland components, the Tergal gland, Dufour's gland, etc., influence the retinue. Primary pheromones which influence the retinue process include (E)-9-oxo-2-decanoic acid(9-ODA), methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate(HOB), (R)-and (S)-(E)-9-hydroxy-2-decanoic acid(9-HDA), 4- hydroxy3-methoxyphenylethanol (HVA), 10-hydroxy-decanoic acid (10-HDAA) and10-hydroxy-2 (E)-decanoic acid (10-HDA), methyl oleate, coniferyl alcohol, palmityl alcohol, and linolenic acid. Furthermore, queen ester includes palmitates, oleates, ethyl stearate, ethyl, and methyl palmitoleate. Additionally, specific volatiles influence swarming, drone attraction, and general organization of the colony. This chapter comprehensively describes the retinue behaviour of workers, responsible elements, and the significance of retinue.

Full textAbstract:
The trends in the change of the profitability of Bulgarian beekeeping starting from the country’s accession to the European Union (EU) in 2007 to the present 2020, are being studied, depending on the changes in the market price of honey and its prime cost. The survey was conducted among selected apiaries in North-eastern Bulgaria. It has been found that they achieve a small net profit when selling conventional honey in the organizational markets – EUR 3.78 kg-1. The realization of organic honey as a raw material in the organizational markets is not profitable for them. The apiaries have a net profit of EUR 7.98 kg-1 for conventional and EUR 7.91 kg-1 for organic honey, with distribution to a consumer market sale. The apiaries in Ruse district achieve 10.26% profitability of turnover in sales on conventional consumer markets, 8.83% in organic consumer markets and 8.2% in organizational conventional markets. Improving their profitability requires: 1) marketing strategies, through regional and cross-sectoral integration; 2) the production of royal jelly, pollen and propolis with high added value; 3) introduction of new technologies, increase in labour productivity, and 4) state subsidies to a hive for ecosystem pollination service.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of the world population, the technical-scientific and socio-economic evolution have led to the increase of the need for food products and the diversification of their range. Under these conditions, beekeeping acquires an increasingly important role as a food supply (honey) but also as a vector of growth of agricultural vegetal production through crop pollination. It also provides various products with a role in maintaining the health of the population through products with high prophylactic and therapeutic value. From a social and economic point of view, it is recognized that this branch of activity contributes to ensuring the prosperity of the population, especially in rural areas, through an additional source of income and the superior use of natural and human resources. In addition, beekeeping takes on an increased importance by supporting and stimulating the natural environment through the undeniable effects on floral biodiversity. Beekeeping is practiced in all European countries, to a greater or lesser extent. And compared to other agricultural branches, where the investments are necessary to start the activity and the expenses for current activities are much higher, in beekeeping all these are located at a much more reasonable level. Another important aspect that needs to be maintained is related to technological development, in beekeeping activity there is no need for highly advanced techniques and technologies to obtain quality products, but involvement is needed. Beekeeping is the branch of agriculture in which Romania could play an important role at European level, but as in other agricultural branches, a critical point in beekeeping is the association and the marketing of products. Within this work, a brief analysis of beekeeping within the European Union is carried out, the extent of this activity as several persons involved in each state, the number of hives and productions obtained, using descriptive statistical methods and graphic processing of the obtained data.
