Possibilities of Using Microalgae Varieties in Beekeeping Research

Özet

In medicine, microalgae are used to produce food supplements and medicines. In particular, algae such as spirulina and chlorella with their high content of proteins, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids have positive effects on health. In addition, some types of microalgae have antimicrobial and antiviral properties and are being studied in the treatment of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In animal husbandry, microalgae are used as a feed additive to improve animal nutrition. Microalgae can accelerate the growth of animals, strengthen their immune system and reduce environmental pollution. In particular, algae used in feed for ruminants can reduce methane emissions. In beekeeping, microalgae are used as food supplements for bees. Food supplements with microalgae can strengthen the bees' immune system and increase their survival rate in winter. In addition, microalgae can promote the production of compounds that increase propolis production. In summary, microalgae offer important health, productivity and environmental benefits in areas such as medicine, animal husbandry and beekeeping. Research in this field continues to provide solutions to support the sustainable and efficient use of microalgae.
