Bee venom is a complex natural beekeeping product, traditionally used in apitherapy, with a wide spectrum of pharmacological properties. Research on the mineral content of bee venom is limited and challenging to compare across studies due to the varying regions where they are conducted. Our study aimed to assess the mineral content of bee venom and how supplementary feeding of bee colonies with probiotic products, essential oils, as well as rapeseed and acacia nectar and pollen, affects the mineral content and antioxidant activity of the venom. The parameters analyzed included moisture, pH, dry matter, ash, impurities, and levels of macro and micro elements and antioxidant activity. The moisture content of the samples was 10-22%, and pH ranged between 5.84 to 6.41. The macro element content of the venom showed that potassium was the most abundant macro element, followed by calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Pb was identified in samples collected indicating lead pollution in the area where the hives were located in the case of the three harvests. In all samples, the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity was observed at a concentration of 2.00 mg/mL, with sample V6 showing the maximum value of 87.05%.
蜂毒是一种复杂的天然养蜂产品，传统上用于蜂疗，具有广泛的药理特性。由于研究开展的地区不同，关于蜂毒矿物质含量的研究有限，且不同研究之间难以进行比较。我们的研究旨在评估蜂毒的矿物质含量，以及用益生菌产品、精油、油菜和刺槐花蜜及花粉对蜂群进行补充饲喂，如何影响蜂毒的矿物质含量和抗氧化活性。分析的参数包括水分、pH值、干物质、灰分、杂质、常量和微量元素水平以及抗氧化活性。样品的水分含量为10 - 22%，pH值在5.84至6.41之间。蜂毒中的常量元素含量表明，钾是含量最丰富的常量元素，其次是钙、镁和磷。在所采集的样品中检测到铅，这表明在三次收获时，蜂箱所在地区存在铅污染。在所有样品中，在浓度为2.00 mg/mL时观察到最高的DPPH自由基清除活性，样品V6显示出最大值87.05%。
