THE COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PLANT HORMONES CONTENT IN CONTENT IN NECTAR AND HONEY COLLECTED BY DIFFERENT BEE BREEDS
The article deals with revealing differences in botanic origin of honey collected at the same time and area but from bees with different morphological and genetic features. Honey collected by Burzyan tree hollow bees and mongrel bees is monofleur lime one, whereas honey collected by Caucasian bees is polyfleur. These differences influenced hormone status of nectar collected by Burzyan tree hollow and mongrel bees from the one hand, and Caucasian bees from the other hand. The honey collected and recycled by Burzyan tree hollow and mongrel bees contained more auxins, abscisic acid and cytokinins than that collected from Caucasian bees. In comparison with nectar in honey one can find certain increasing in phytohormone content level. The amount of auxins in all honey samples rose three times as much as in nectar. The amount of abscisic acid in honey rose four times as much as in nectar. The change in the content of total cytokinins was spotty. It is likely connected with inactivation of the given ferment in honey collected by Caucasian yellow bees. The role of phytohormones of cytokinin origin in increasing flying activity of bees is being discussed.
