Abstract Pollination by insects is vital for global agriculture, with honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) being the most important pollinators. Honey are exposed to numerous stressors, including disease, pesticides, and inadequate nutrition, resulting in significant colony losses. This study investigates use of drone brood mitigate these problems. Drone brood, which normally discarded during varroa mite (Varroa destructor, Anderson Trueman) management, rich proteins, fats, essential minerals. We compared an already suggested pollen supplement (Tenebrio [Tenebrio molitor L.] flour). The results indicate that flour a viable source minerals potentially antimicrobial due its high content elements known properties. It meets nutritional needs while mitigating effects mites. can provide high-quality beeswax, surplus pollen, improve bee health, promotes sustainable beekeeping.

The growing world population necessitates the implementation of appropriate processing technologies for edible insects. objective this study was to examine impact distinct drying techniques, including convective at 70 °C (70CD) and 90 (90CD) freeze-drying (FD), on kinetics, physical characteristics (water activity, color), chemical (chemical composition, amino acid profile, oil properties, total polyphenol content antioxidant mineral FTIR), presence hazards (allergens, microorganisms) blanched yellow mealworm larvae. process results in greater lightness reduced moisture water activity. demonstrated that freeze-dried insects exhibited lower contents protein essential acids as compared convective-dried lowest polyphenols found larvae; however, highest activity determined those Although isolated from peroxide values, it proved have PUFA oxidative stability. All samples met microbiological criteria dried demonstrate a high temperature during CD method does not result anticipated undesirable changes. It appears is optimal preserving nutritional value insects, particularly with regard quality oil.

Innate immunity, the body's initial defense against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, heavily depends on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are small molecules produced by all living organisms. Insects, with their vast biodiversity, one of most abundant innovative sources AMPs. In this study, AMPs from red palm weevil (RPW)
