Maintaining bee colonies in a healthy state throughout the year is one of the main concerns of apiculture researchers. The phenomenon of disappearance of bee colonies is determined by several factors, one of which is bee disease. Due to the organizational structure of the bee colony, disease transmission is rapid, especially through infected food or via the nurse worker bees that feed the brood bees of the colony concerned. The practice of stimulating the bee colonies in spring using sugar syrup feeds with added prebiotic products (lactic acid or acetic acid) and probiotics (Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-14 and Bifidobacterium lactis BI-04) by using an Enterobiotic product (Lactobacillus casei), marketed as Enterolactis Plus, for three weeks, resulted in a significant reduction of the total number of bacteria in the digestive tracts of the bees, compared with the control group. By contrast, intestinal colonization with beneficial bacteria contained in probiotics products administered to the bees was observed. This resulted in an improved health status and bio productive index of the bee colonies studied.
全年维持蜂群处于健康状态是养蜂研究人员的主要关注点之一。蜂群消失现象由多种因素决定，其中之一是蜜蜂疾病。由于蜂群的组织结构，疾病传播迅速，特别是通过受感染的食物或通过喂养相关蜂群幼虫的哺育工蜂传播。通过使用一种名为Enterolactis Plus的肠道益生菌产品（干酪乳杆菌），在春季用添加了益生元产品（乳酸或醋酸）和益生菌（嗜酸乳杆菌LA - 14和双歧双歧杆菌BI - 04）的糖浆喂养蜂群三周，与对照组相比，蜜蜂消化道中的细菌总数显著减少。相比之下，观察到益生菌产品中所含有益细菌在蜜蜂肠道内定殖。这导致所研究蜂群的健康状况和生物生产指数得到改善。
