Traditional and alternative medicine products: surinkimas, saugojimas and protections
Honey bees are bioindicators of environmental pollution It is an indicator in determining the environmental health of the bee, human health and the health status of other living creatures.
In some countries, propolis has taken its place as a medicine. However, when bee hives are left near asphalt, close to settlements, bees collect asphalt, paint, etc. sticky substances as propolis. Also, beekeepers do not use traps to collect propolis in hives.
Apitherapy applications, the use of bee products for human and animal health have taken their place in the field of supportive medicine in many countries. There are only more than 3000 publications about propolis in PubMed.
It has been seen that it is necessary to provide training to beekeepers, produce quality natural bee products, and create certified and controlled raw materials for apitherapy. In the coming years, other bee products rather than honey sales will generate higher incomes for beekeepers
