Acaricide residues in honey, beeswax and propolis

چکیده
In Switzerland the acaricides Folbex VA (bromopropylate, BP), Perizin (coumaphos, CM), Apistan (fluvalinate, FV) Bayvarol (flumethrine, FM) are used for varroa control. We studied the contamination level of BP,CM and FV in brood and honey combs, sugar feed, honey after field trials. In samples of recycled pure beeswax and propolis, gathered by beekeepers we examined the level of all four acaricides. All samples were analysed by gas chromatography with ECD detection.

Acaricide Residues in Beeswax and Honey
We studied the contamination level of the acaricides Folbex VA (bromopropylate, BP), Perizin (coumaphos, CM) Apistan (fluvalinate, FV) and Bayvarol (flumethrine, FM) in brood combs, sugar feed, honey and in new beeswax. All samples were analysed by gas chromatography with ECD detection. After one normal acaricide treatment, in autumn, the brood comb wax was contaminated by all these acaraicides...
متن کاملPesticide residues in beeswax samples collected from honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera L.) in France.
In 2002 a field survey was initiated in French apiaries in order to monitor the health of honey bee colonies (Apis mellifera L.). Studied apiaries were evenly distributed across five sites located in continental France. Beeswax samples were collected once a year over 2 years from a total of 125 honey bee colonies. Multiresidue analyses were performed on these samples in order to identify residu...
متن کاملFlavonoids from Apis mellifera Beeswax
The flavonoids present in beeswax produced in “La Alcarria” region were analyzed by HPLC. Pinocembrin, pinobanksin, pinobanksin 3-acetate, chrysin, galangin and techtochrysin were detected as the main flavonoid constituents. This is the first detailed report on the flavonoids o f beeswax. These substances are already present when wax scales are secreted by bees. The same flavonoid compounds wer...
متن کاملContaminants of bee products 1
Bee products can be contaminated from different sources. The contamination can arise from beekeeping practices or from the environment. Environmental contaminants are covered in the first part of the review. They are: the heavy metals lead, cadmium and mercury, radioactive isotopes, organic pollutants, pesticides (insecticides, fungicides, herbicides and bactericides), pathogenic bacteria and g...
متن کاملTherapeutic Properties of Bioactive Compounds from Different Honeybee Products
Honeybees produce honey, royal jelly, propolis, bee venom, bee pollen, and beeswax, which potentially benefit to humans due to the bioactives in them. Clinical standardization of these products is hindered by chemical variability depending on honeybee and botanical sources, but different molecules have been isolated and pharmacologically characterized. Major honey bioactives include phenolics, ...
