MICROELEMENTS OF BEE TISSUES FOR FEEDING WITH NANOTECHNOLOGICAL COBALT AND GERMANIUM CITRATES

Abstract

We examined the effect of nanotechnological citrates of Cobalt (30μg/300 ml), sugar syrup (s.c.) and Germanium (60μg/300 ml s.c.), and their mixture in aqueous solution on the content of individual elements in tissues of various anatomical regions and the whole body of the Carpathian bee. Four bee-analog groups were formed, control group (I) 300 ml s.c. per bee family/week, study group II (30 μg Coe/300 ml s.c.), study group III (60 μg Ge/300 ml s.c.), and study group IV (30 μg Coe + 60 μt Ge/300 ml s.c.). Bees were kept in gardens under 30 degrees in a laboratory thermostat for 30 days determining the content of Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Pb i Cd in homogenates of head, breast, abdomen and whole body tissues. The microelements study was carried out using atomic absorption spectrophotometer SF-115 PC, in dry mineralizate of tissue homogenate. It was found probably the highest Ge content in the tissues of the thoracic section because of the effect of 60 μg Germanium and a citrate mixture with 30 μg Co and 60 μg Ge, against the background of the highest level of Cobalt in the tissues of all three study groups, but the lowest Lead for the tendency to decrease Cadmium and Nickel. The content of Fe, Ni, Pb i Cd, and Cu was reduced in the head tissues of bees of the study groups, only in the group IV there was an unlikely increase in Cobalt. There were established changes both in tissues of the head, abdomen and the whole organism of bees of the study groups compared to the control group, indicating certain physiological features of cumulation and distribution of the studied microelements in tissues and organs of bees during feeding with Cobalt and Germanium nanotechnology citrates. Of importance is the pronounced detoxifying effect of nanotechnological Cobalt and Germanium citrates and their combination, which provides a reduction in the concentration of Lead, Cadmium and Nickel in the tissues of both individual anatomical regions of bees and the whole organism. The antagonistic and synergistic dependence of the studied microelements in physiological processes and content in tissues of the body with other mineral elements of bee nutrition is discussed.
