Beebread is a hive product produced in the honeycomb, through the lactic fermentation of pollen collected and partially processed by bees. This hive product has a chemical composition that makes it an interesting product, not only because of its nutritional value, but also related with its biological properties, such as antiinflammatory, anticancer, antinociceptive, and antidiabetic. In fact, beebread has earne...
Bee bread is a bee product prepared within honeycombs, through the fermentation of bee pollen collected and partially processed by bees. The nutritional composition of this product enhances its market value. It is rich in proteins, essential amino acids, simple sugars and fatty acids and is seen as a functional food. Despite these interesting properties, bee bread is not properly valued by beekeepers, partly du...
Bee bread is a bee product prepared in honeycombs by fermenting bee pollen collected and partially processed by bees. The interest in bee bread is justified by the fact that it is a nutritionally rich food with potential biological activity, often being classified as a functional food. However, due to the difficulty normally associated with its production, beekeepers have not properly valued bee bread.

Bee bread (BB) is a precious beehive product, with growing commercial interest due to its nutritional value and richness in bioactive compounds responsible for its biological activity. In cases where the processing and storage practices of BB are not suitable, significant losses in its nutritional value can occur, becoming vulnerable to microbial growth and spoilage. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effects of di...
A qualidade das condições de trabalho é um dos fatores fundamentais para o sucesso de um sistema produtivo e, o mesmo, também se aplica ao setor apícola. Nesse âmbito, a melhoria da produtividade e da competitividade depende, necessariamente, de uma intervenção no sentido da perceção e melhoria das condições de trabalho. Neste contexto, a elaboração de um Manual de Boas Práticas de Segurança e Saúde no trabalho...
In Trás-os-Montes region, which is peripherally located in the northeast of Portugal, the apiculture sector is almost exclusively dedicated to the production of honey. According to the most recent data, 9817 tons of honey were produced in 2020 in Portugal, contributing for an income over 23 Million € for the beekeepers. This high dependence on honey production, combined with the increasingly frequent and extrem...
