Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate
the use of herbal pesticides as a substitute for chemical pesticides in order
to protect honey bee populations and enhance the quality of honey. Results
indicated that honey bees exposed to herbal pesticides displayed improved
health and decreased stress levels compared to those exposed to chemical
pesticides. Additionally, honey produced from colonies treated with herbal
pesticides contained fewer chemical residues, higher levels of antioxidants,
and better flavor. Furthermore, herbal pesticides were found to be equally
effective in controlling pests. This study implies that adopting herbal
pesticides could be a viable and sustainable approach to beekeeping, benefiting
both bees and the quality of honey.
