“…Bee venom exhibits numerous biological activities, such as effects on the immune system, the central and peripheral nervous systems, and the cardiovascular system [4]. In addition to being traditionally used in the treatment of pain, skin diseases and rheumatism, studies have also reported that it exhibits anti-carcinogenic activity against prostate, liver and breast cancers [5].…”

Bee venom is a natural substance produced by worker bees. The aim of this research paper is to determine the characteristics of Anatolian bee venom by evaluating its chemical content and microbiological properties. Physical, chemical and microbiological analyses were performed on 25 bee venom samples from different areas of Anatolia, Turkey. Data obtained by 3-replicate studies were evaluated with normality and one-way and two-way ANOVA / Tukey tests. Chemical analyses of the bee venoms revealed average melittin, apamin, and phospholipase A2 contents of 40.57%, 2.12% and 13.67%, respectively. The results suggest that Anatolian bee venom has a high phospholipase A2 content compared to the previous literature. The results for apamin content were similar to those reported in other countries. Melittin content was within the range of standard values. Bee venom samples were also observed to have a high sugar content, associated with pollen and nectar contamination. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria counts revealed no microbial development in 11 samples of bee venom. Staphylococcus aureus was not detected in any sample. A low microbial load was associated with a high phospholipase A2 content in the bee venom composition, thus contributing to its antimicrobial character. This study presents an examination of Anatolian bee venom in terms of chemical content and microbial quality. The examination of other components in addition to phospholipase A2, melittin and apamin in future studies, together with an analysis of antimicrobial properties will further our understanding of Anatolian bee venom.

“…Honey harvest time, the percentage of glazed comb, climatic conditions during harvest and storage conditions also affect the water content of honey. The water content affects the quality, viscosity, crystallization, and taste of honey and is accepted as a criterion in determining the shelf life and maturity level of honey [24]. According to the Turkish Food Codex (TFC) regulation on honey, the moisture content of blossom honey should not be more than 20% [25].…”

In the present study, a total of 80 commercial blossom honey samples were obtained from local markets in Ankara, Turkey. These honeys were analyzed for 35 important and risky antibiotics (sulfonamide, tetracycline, macrolide, cephalosporin, aminoglycoside, quinolone, nitrofuran, chloramphenicol, and anthelmintic groups) by the LC-MS/MS multi-antibiotic method. In addition to these analyses, pH measure, moisture, and electrical conductivity were determined in these honey samples. Finally, seven out of 35 antibiotic residues investigated in the honeys were positive. The most frequently detected antibiotics in the analyzed samples were dihydrostreptomycin, streptomycin, erythromycin, sulfadimidine (sulfamethazine), and enrofloxacin as 58.75%, 22.5%, 13.75%, 10%, and 2.5%, respectively. Tetracycline and doxycycline were detected in only one sample. The pH, moisture, and electrical conductivity values of the honey samples were determined as between pH 3.78 and 5.41, 17.48 and 18.03%, and 0.25 and 0.47 mS/cm, respectively. In terms of food safety and human health, it is very important to monitor the residues of these pharmacologically active substances with analytical methods.

“…Fake honey is produced in various ways, such as by feeding honey bees with sugar syrups instead of nectar or secretion then producing honey from these syrups or directly adding sugar syrups to honey. (Mutlu et al, 2017). This kind of fake honey affects people health adversely.…”

The objective of this study is to determine the consumption behaviour and factors affecting the consumption of bee products of consumers in Kahramanmaras. The main material of the study is the data obtained from surveys conducted with 270 consumers living in Kahramanmaras city centre in 2018. Descriptive statistics, One-way ANOVA and t-test were used to analyse the data. According to the results, while 84.4% of the consumers consume honey, the percentage of the consumers consuming pollen and royal jelly are 7.8% and 1.5% respectively. Moreover, 28.5% of the consumers stated that they consume honey every day, whereas the share of the consumers consuming comb honey every day is 25.6%. In addition, most of the consumers prefer to buy honey from producers and markets. According to the results, factors affecting the amount of honey consumption are gender, income, the number of individuals in the family and the condition of having diabetes. On the other hand, marital status, age, and education level of consumers were not found to be importand factors on the amount of honey consumption.
