The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible stimulating effects of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) honey, natural Saudi Sider and honeybee pollen in vitro maturation (IVM) medium sheep oocytes on their subsequent development. Hence, immature were exposed various concentrations sativa), honey (5, 10, 20%), as well (1, 50 μg/ml) during an period (24 hours). After exposure time, rate, ...

Imidacloprid is a systemic nitroguanidine insecticide that belongs to the neonicotinoid family. As an agonist of the acetylcholine receptor, it attacks the insect nervous system and is extremely effective against various sucking and mining pests. Oral acute and chronic toxicity of imidacloprid and its main metabolites (5-hydroxyimidacloprid, 4,5-dihydroxyimidacloprid, desnitroimidacloprid, 6-ch...

Consumption of natural products has increased significantly due to the idea that if nutrition improves, this leads improved health, general well-being and reduces risk developing certain diseases. Bee products, especially bee pollen (BP) bread (BB), have demonstrated several nutritional bioactive properties, which make them functional foods par excellence. Thus, understanding digestibility chan...

Background Bee venom (BV) has been widely investigated for potential medical uses. Recent inadvertent uses of BV based products have shown to mitigate signs of fungal infections. However, the component mediating the antifungal effect has not been identified. Objective This investigation compares bee venom in its whole and partial forms to evaluate the possible component responsible for the an...

The field of biomedical engineering highly demands technological improvements to allow the successful engraftment biomaterials requested for healing damaged host tissues, tissue regeneration, and drug delivery. Polymeric materials, particularly natural polymers, are one primary suitable materials employed functionalized enhance their biocompatibility thus confer advantageous features after graf...

Urban bee ecology is an emerging field that holds promise for advancing knowledge of bee community dynamics and promoting bee conservation. Published studies of bee communities in urban and suburban habitats are fewer than those documenting bees in agricultural and wildland settings. As land lost to urbanization is predicted to increase in coming years the necessity of studying urban bee popula...

Acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV) is a small single stranded RNA virus recently classified within the family Dicistroviridae, genus Cripavirus. Here, we describe the first study of ABPV in unhealthy bee colonies, which has been an unusual loss in adult bee population and significant honey bee mortality during the year. The aim of this study was evaluation of ABPV infection in honey bee colonies ...
