is a parasitic mite responsible for the loss of honey bee () colonies. This study aimed to find a promising marker in honey for the bee colony infestation level using fluorescence spectroscopy and biochemical analyses. We examined whether the parameters of the honey samples' fluorescence spectra and biochemical parameters, both related to proteins and phenolics, may be connected with the level of honey bee colonies' infestation. The infestation level was highly positively correlated with the catalase activity in honey (r = 0.936). Additionally, the infestation level was positively correlated with the phenolic spectral component (r = 0.656), which was tentatively related to the phenolics in honey. No correlation was found between the diastase activity in honey and the colonies' infestation level. The results indicate that the catalase activity in honey and the PFC1 spectral component may be reliable markers for the infestation level of the colonies. The obtained data may be related to the honey yield obtained from the apiaries.
是一种导致蜜蜂（）蜂群损失的寄生螨。本研究旨在利用荧光光谱法和生化分析，在蜂蜜中找到一个有望用于指示蜂群感染水平的标志物。我们研究了蜂蜜样品荧光光谱参数以及与蛋白质和酚类物质相关的生化参数是否可能与蜜蜂蜂群的感染水平有关。感染水平与蜂蜜中的过氧化氢酶活性高度正相关（r = 0.936）。此外，感染水平与酚类光谱成分正相关（r = 0.656），该成分初步认为与蜂蜜中的酚类物质有关。未发现蜂蜜中的淀粉酶活性与蜂群感染水平之间存在相关性。结果表明，蜂蜜中的过氧化氢酶活性和PFC1光谱成分可能是蜂群感染水平的可靠标志物。所获得的数据可能与从养蜂场获得的蜂蜜产量有关。
