Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) play vital roles as agricultural pollinators and honey producers. However, global colony losses are increasing due to multiple stressors, including malnutrition. Our study evaluated the effects of four pollen substitute diets (Diet 1, Diet 2, Diet 3, and Control) through field and cage experiments, analyzing 11 parameters and 21 amino acids. Notably, Diet 1 demonstrated significantly superior performance in the field experiment, including the number of honey bees…

It is demonstrated that a specific pollen substitute diet significantly improves colony performance during early spring, as evidenced by an increase in population, a greater capped brood area, altered colony weight, honey bee weight, and vitellogenin value.

Investigation of artificial diets enriched with either β-alanine, GABA, or proline on consumption, survival, and hemolymph composition in honey bees belonging to two different ages and with different metabolism found a greater susceptibility of young honey bees to enriched diets than older honey bees.

It is suggested that the use of a large population size of beehives can reduce the infestation rate and the adaptation of mite/antibacterial immune competence of honey bees to different life stages and the breeding stock of bees for hygienic behaviors resisting mite infestations.

The results showed that the pollen with a higher essential amino acid content had advantages in laying time, the number of eggs laid, larval ejection, and the time of first worker emergence, as well as in the time the colony took to reach ten workers.
