Effects of antioxidant use on semen storage in honey bees

Although there are many studies for the storage of semen in honey bees, desired success has not been achieved, and more study is needed this area. It reported that percentage bee egg-laying queen bees fertilized with stored semen, especially long-term conditions below expected rate despite viability rate. The reason situation spermatozoa negatively affected by freezing processes due to their very fragile sensitive structure. However, natural mating, can remain healthy years bee's spermatheca. known enzymatic antioxidants special proteins spermatheca, as well a suitable environment spermatozoa. Manipulating made during adverse effects on spermatozoon function fertility. In particular, current antioxidant substances against cold shock, which among damages occur being investigated, protective determined. For purpose, it aimed improve using properties. purpose review give information about use semen.
