Honeybees are one of the most marvelous and economically beneficial insects. As pollinators, they play a vital role in every aspect of the ecosystem. Beehive products have been used for thousands of years in many cultures for the treatment of various diseases. Their healing properties have been documented in many religious texts like the Noble Quran and the Holy Bible. Honey, bee venom, propolis, pollen and royal jelly all demonstrated a richness in their bioactive compounds which make them effective against a variety of bacterial strains. Furthermore, many studies showed that honey and bee venom work as powerful antibacterial agents against a wide range of bacteria including life-threatening bacteria. Several reports documented the biological activities of honeybee products but none of them emphasized on the antibacterial activity of all beehive products. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the antibacterial activity of honey, bee venom, propolis, pollen and royal jelly, that are produced by honeybees.

Honey Bee Mating Optimization

Abstrak Vahicle Routing Problem adalah suatu masalah pencaian jalur yang akan dilalui dengan tujuan mencari rute yang paling cepat atau pendek. Vahicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) yang merupakan sebutan bagi VRP dengan kendala tambahan berupa adanya time windows pada masing-masing pelanggan yang dalam hal ini berupa destinasi wisata. Dalam penelitian ini diterapkan Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) dalam menyelesaikan VRPTW. HBMO sendiri terinspirasi oleh perilaku koloni lebah ketika bereproduksi. Algoritma tersebut bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pencarian individu atau solusi terbaik. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana mengimplementasikan Honey Bee Mating Optimization dalam menyelesaikan VRPTW pada perencanaan jalur wisata di Malang. Sehingga dapat meminimumkan waktu dan jarak tempuh perjalanan. Berdasarkan hasil pengujian, parameter yang optimal untuk optimasi VRPTW menggunakan HBMO pada kasus perencannan jalur wisata Malang yaitu dengan menggunakan 800 generasi, populasi lebah jantan sebesar 300, batas kapasitas spermatheca sejumlah 100, nilai mutation ratio (Pm) dan royal jelly masing-masing bernilai 0.5.Abstract Vahicle Routing Problem is a problem of finding the best route that will be passed with the purpose to finding the fastest or shortest route. Vahicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) is a part of VRP with additional obstacles in the form of time windows in each customer. In this research, Honey Bee Mating Optimization (HBMO) was applied to completing VRPTW. HBMO itself was inspired by the behavior of bee colonies when reproducing. The purpose of this algorithm is to evaluate the best individual or the best solutions. The purpose of this research is how to implement Honey Bee Mating Optimization to completing VRPTW in Malang tourism route planning. So that it can minimize travel time and distance. Based on the results of the testing, the optimal parameters for VRPTW optimization using HBMO in Malang tourism route planning case are using 800 generations, the male bee population is 300, the capacity limit of spermatheca is 100, the mutation ratio (Pm) and royal jelly are respectively 0.5.

Gene Expression Dynamics

One of the first tasks of worker honey bees (Apis mellifera) during their lifetime is to feed the larval offspring. In brief, young workers (nurse bees) secrete a special food jelly that contains a large amount of unique major royal jelly proteins (MRJPs). The regulation of mrjp gene expression is not well understood, but the large upregulation in well-fed nurse bees suggests a tight repression until, or a massive induction upon, hatching of the adult worker bees. The lipoprotein vitellogenin, the synthesis of which is regulated by the two systemic hormones 20-hydroxyecdysone and juvenile hormone, is thought to be a precursor for the production of MRJPs. Thus, the regulation of mrjp expression by the said systemic hormones is likely. This study focusses on the role of 20-hydroxyecdysone by elucidating its effect on mrjp gene expression dynamics. Specifically, we tested whether 20-hydroxyecdysone displayed differential effects on various mrjps. We found that the expression of the mrjps (mrjp1–3) that were finally secreted in large amounts into the food jelly, in particular, were down regulated by 20-hydroxyecdysone treatment, with mrjp3 showing the highest repression value.

AbstractQueenless, caged, newly emerged worker bees (Apis mellifera L.) were fed honey, 22 and 40% pollen in honey, and 22 and 40% royal jelly in honey for 14 days. Workers fed royal jelly, pollen, and honey had large, medium, and small ovaries, respectively. Royal jelly had higher nutritive value for workers’ ovarian development than did pollen, possibly because royal jelly is predigested by nurse bees and easily used by adult and larval bees. These results suggest that nurse bees could mediate workers’ ovarian development in colonies via trophallactic exchange of royal jelly. Six levels of royal jelly in honey, 0, 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100% (royal jelly without honey), were tested for their effects on workers’ ovarian development and mortality for 10 days. High levels of royal jelly increased ovarian development, but also increased worker mortality. All caged bees treated with 100% royal jelly died within 3 days. When workers were incubated at 20, 27, and 34 °C for 10 days, only bees at 34 °C developed ovaries. These findings suggest that nurse bees functioning as units which digest pollen and produce royal jelly may feed some potentially egg-laying workers in a brood chamber with royal jelly when a queen is lost in a colony. Feeding workers a diet of 50% royal jelly in honey and incubating at 34 °C for 10 days is recommended for tests of ovarian development.

Bee hive products such as honey bees, honey, royal jelly and pollen are widely consumed as a health supplement. There has been several cases of allergic reactions to bee hive products reported worldwide. Consumption of bee hive products is common among Malaysians, but the degree of its sensitization is not known. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of skin test reactivity to Apis mellifera, domesticated locally and the bee hive products such as honey bees, honey, royal jelly and pollen among a group of volunteers. Four types of honey collected from different locations with different plant sources; one sample of imported honey from Australia, one sample of royal jelly, four different sources of bee pollen, and honey bee derivatives were used to prepare allergen extracts for skin testing. 2522 volunteers were skin tested to these allergen extracts. 271 (10.75%) of the subjects had a positive skin prick test result to at least one honey bee derivative or bee hive product allergen. Individuals with skin test positivity to honey bee are most likely to be sensitized to bee pollen followed by honey and royal jelly. Skin test reactivity to honey bee and bee hive products is prevailed to be high in Malaysia. This study has proven that bee hive products sensitization individuals are mostly to be also sensitized to honey bees. Therefore, is recommended these allergens to be included in the skin prick panel

BACKGROUND: Apitherapy is the medical use of honey bee products, "honey, propolis, royal jelly, bee wax, and bee venom to relieve human ailments. Propolis is one of the most well-documented products derived from the honeybee and has always played an important role in traditional folk medicine.AIM: The aim was to justify the consideration of Aloe Vera as an effective remedy for the treatment of psoriasis.METHODS: The study follows (857) patients (354 females, 503 males) with a mean age range from (9 - 62) years, affected with moderate to severe psoriasis in palms and foot soles treated by a combination mixture of propolis and Aloe in the form of an ointment (Aloreed) and Beauty reed cream. The treatment duration was for 12 weeks. Results were evaluated by using clinical, histological and statistical parameters.RESULTS: After the 12 - week treatment, we observed an 86% overall response rate from which 62% showed excellent results and 24% showed good results, therefore proving the efficiency in the use of the mixture of propolis 50% and aloe vera 3% as topically applied ointment in the treatment of mild to moderate psoriasisCONCLUSION: Patients who have palmoplantar psoriasis, who were treated with a topically applied mixture of propolis (50%) and aloe vera (3%), have shown noteworthy improvement thus proving the efficiency of propolis and aloe vera in the treatment of mild to moderate psoriasis.
