BEEKEEPING IN THE CONTEXT OF CLIMATE CHANGE

Written by Silvia PĂTRUICĂ, Ioan PEȚ, Eliza SIMIZ

Climate change is a global phenomenon, driven by industrialization and deforestation, which over time has led to a reduction in the ozone layer and an increase in carbon dioxide. These have led to changes in the integrity of the ecosystem and biodiversity, affecting bee colonies as well. Temperature and humidity play an important role in the secretion of nectar in honey plants, while also influencing the feeding behavior of bee colonies. The study follows the evolution of the meteorological factors mentioned, in the period 2017-2021, during the production harvests of rapeseed, acacia, linden and sunflower, in April, May, June and July. During the analyzed period, statistically significant differences were registered for the analyzed factors compared to their average (p <0.05), with negative influences on the nectar secretion and implicitly on the capitalization of the harvests.
