Abstract:
The purpose of this work is to monitor the state of bee health through morphoclinical and laboratory examination of
bees on samples of live bees and honeycombs with brood for the prevention and control of diseases in bees in order to
include them in a study on the impact of the non-ionizing electromagnetic radiations on bees. Samples were collected
during the active season 2023, and morpho-clinically and laboratory examined according to OIE regulations from 9
private apiaries (PH, AG, TR, CL, VN, IS, DB, VL and IF) from which we collected 18 samples. The laboratory results
revealed the existence of some diseases in 6 apiaries (66.67%), as follows: a unique evolution (suspected foulbrood
disease in one apiary) (11.11%), five apiaries with mixed conditions (55,56%) (varroosis, nosemosis, chalkbrood, and
suspected poisoning), and three apiaries were diagnosed as clinically healthy (33.33%). Studying the influence of nonionizing
radiation on bees has wider implications for ecology and the environment, as bees play a crucial role in
pollination and maintaining ecosystems. The interaction between bees and electromagnetic radiation is a complex and
multifactorial issue that may explain the diversity of conclusions in the available studies. Therefore, studies are needed
in Romania to better understand the connection between non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation and the decline of bee
populations (Collony Colapse Disorder).
