Abstract

This study is aimed at evaluating the veterinary and sanitary quality of honey after the treatment and prevention of widespread invasive diseases in honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies, including varroosis (Varroa destructor), nosematosis, and tropilaelaps infestation. A total of 30 bee colonies were monitored for epizootological status, parasite infestation level, and honey productivity. Amitraz, flumethrin, and oxalic acid treatments effectively controlled parasites in the colonies by day 30, with an efficacy of 91–97%. The organoleptic (color, aroma, taste consistency) and physicochemical (moisture content, diastase activity, total acidity) parameters of honey showed no significant differences compared to the healthy control group. Residue analysis using HPLC revealed that amitraz residues exceeded the maximum residue limit (MRL, 0.1 mg/kg), while flumethrin and oxalic acid remained within safe limits. The study confirms that targeted treatment effectively controls parasites in bee colonies, has minimal impact on honey quality, and provides a scientific basis for protecting consumer health and strengthening veterinary and sanitary monitoring.
