Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate effects of the geographic diversity and plant species on the mineral levels of the honey and honey bee tissues. Furthermore we investigated the effectiveness of honey bees and honey bee products to use as bioindicators for the determination of minerals and heavy metals which carry risk for the environmental pollution.
