    Bee products are an important source of nutrients and bioactive phytochemicals. This study aimed to determine the chemical composition (proximate composition, general phytochemical composition, sugar, and phenolic profiles) of four different products (honey, bee pollen, bee bread, and propolis), obtained from the same apiary, as well as to assess their biological activity through antioxidant and enzyme inhibition assays (α-amylase, α-glucosidase, lipase, AchE, neuraminidase, angiotensin-converting enzyme, urease, trypsin, tyrosinase, carbonic anhydrase, thioredoxin reductase, adenosine deaminase). Clear differences were observed among the samples in terms of both chemical composition and biological activity. The analysis revealed that bee pollen exhibited the highest carbohydrate content (87.9%), while propolis was identified as the richest source of phenolic compounds (14,858.9 mg/kg) among the analyzed samples. Propolis exhibited the highest biological activity in all applied antioxidant assays (CUPRAC, DPPH•, and ABTS•+) and in most enzyme inhibition assays. Notably, the α-glucosidase inhibition activity of propolis was comparable to that of the reference standard. In addition, honey exhibited remarkable trypsin inhibition, also comparable to the applied standard. These findings highlight the diverse bioactivities of hive products, which could play a key role in promoting health and preventing diseases.

    Melissopalynology analysis, physicochemical properties, multi-element content and antimicrobial activity of honey samples collected from Bayburt, Turkey; [Türkiye'nin Bayburt Ilinden Toplanan Bal Örneklerinin Melissopalinolojik Analizi, Fizikokimyasal Özellikleri, Multi-Element Içerigi ve Antimikrobiyal Aktivitesi]

    The aim of this study was to determine the plant sources, physicochemical properties, element content and antimicrobial effects of honey samples collected from 10 different regions of the province of Bayburt, Turkey. The melissopalynological analysis showed that the pollen samples of 67 plant taxa belonged to 34 plant families in honey samples and were found with different rates and TPN-10 values was found between 16024 and 90126. In addition to these, the amount of ash was between 0.13% and 0.32%, the electrical conductivity value was between 0.36 and 0.69 mS/cm, the moisture content was between 16.1% and 18.9% and the fructose/glucose ratio was between 0.92 and 1.18. As a result of physicochemical analysis, it was determined that the data obtained were in compliance with the standard values defined in by the Turkish Food Codex Communiqué on Honey (No: 2012/58). Elemental analysis performed with ICP-MS showed that the K element was the highest (261.34-1863.05 mg/kg) in all honey samples in total among the 42 elements. In addition to these, the antimicrobial effects of honey samples and minimum inhibition concentration values (MIC) were determined by the agar well diffusion (AWD) method and and microbroth dilution method respectively.
