The effects of different beehives on propolis production and quality

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of wood, styrofoam and plastic beehives on propolis production phenolic content. In this study, obtained in three different periods as follows: before, during after honey production. yield quality collected raw samples were analyzed. Total (TP) content, total tannin (TT) antioxidant capacity (FRAP) composition determined parameters. highest wood beehives, followed by study. analysis temporal demonstrated that 9.29 ± 11.37 g produced post-season, 2.88 4.48 season, 1.23 0.80 pre-season. Duncan LSD multiple comparison tests, which compare hive groups collection periods, differences statistically significant (p < 0.05). Furthermore, TP FRAP values found suggesting content varied based type period.
