САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Honey has been popular for its nutritional and health properties since ancient times due to the presence of bioactive compounds with antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. The European bee (Apis mellifera) is the most important pollinator and extremely important in agriculture. The number of bees is decreasing worldwide due to anthropogenic activities, climate change and the application of pesticides. This led to a decrease in honey production. Europe imports 40% of the honey it consumes annually. The EU tries to prevent and help to achieve international cooperation and exchange of innovative scientific and professional knowledge and achievements in the following topics: honey and bее products’ nutritional and medicinal properties, abiotic stressors and anthropogenic contaminants in the environment using hive products as indicators, prevalent diseases and biotic stressors threatening honeybee colonies, honeybees as pollinators in agriculture and consequences of lost colonies in agrarian ecosystems and policy research and market analysis related with beekeeping activities. The COST action CA22105 brings together beekeeping, veterinary, agriculture engineering, chemistry, biology, nutrition, economy and policy to deliver scientific developments. Cost action takes care of achieving gender equality, young researchers. The implementation of the tasks of this COST action is carried out within several working groups.
