Abstract

Climate conditions and influences play a very important role in the productivity of honey bees and the resulting damages and losses. In the conditions of high temperatures that accompany the months of June/July/August during the year, and which may continue for several days, we notice that they exhaust the bees, which reduces their activity and thus reduces the collection of nectar. Heat also contributes to the fermentation of honey. High temperatures can negatively impact honey's quality and nutritional value. Severe cold conditions reduce the activity of bees, especially if the cold condition continues for a month, as a result of climate change. Heavy rains also cause nectar to drift from flowers. Heavy rains also cause nectar to drift from flowers, and in the case of high humidity that continues for several days, it causes honey to ferment, which leads to a decrease in productivity. High temperatures and high humidity also create a suitable environment for the spread of bee diseases and parasites.Wind is an important climatic factor as it makes it difficult for bees to fly, reducing their efficiency and time spent searching for nectar. It also damages flowers and plants, stripping them of their sources of nectar and pollen. Sunlight is very beneficial for photosynthesis and the growth of nectar-producing plants. The more days of sunshine, the more flowers will be and consequently the more nectar the bees will collect. The amount of light also affects the bees’ biological clock, which in turn affects the times when they search for flowers. In laboratory tests conducted on selected samples, the results showed that some samples outperformed the others by small percentages, and these differences were close and in accordance with local and international specifications.
