Honeybees are vital for pollination and the overall health of ecosystems. Since the 18th century, the intricate biology of honeybees has been a subject of scientific inquiry. Understanding their biological and behavioral characteristics is essential for effective beekeeping, honey production, and ecosystem sustainability. This review examines the environmental impact and management practices on the health of local honeybees in Algeria, focusing on and . We summarize research findings on genetic diversity, morphometric traits, behavioral characteristics, and adaptation of local honeybees. Additionally, we discuss the threats posed by abiotic and biotic stressors and highlight the importance of conservation and sustainable management. The reviewed studies indicate that environmental factors significantly influence the behavioral characteristics and adaptation of local honeybees. Notably, the hygienic behavior of contributes to their resistance against diseases and the mite. Further research in these areas is important for enhancing our understanding of honeybee health and population dynamics in Algeria, thereby informing strategies for sustainable beekeeping practices.
蜜蜂对授粉和生态系统的整体健康至关重要。自18世纪以来，蜜蜂复杂的生物学特性一直是科学研究的对象。了解它们的生物学和行为特征对于有效的养蜂、蜂蜜生产和生态系统可持续性至关重要。本综述研究了对阿尔及利亚当地蜜蜂健康的环境影响和管理实践，重点关注 和 。我们总结了关于当地蜜蜂遗传多样性、形态特征、行为特征和适应性的研究结果。此外，我们讨论了非生物和生物应激源带来的威胁，并强调了保护和可持续管理的重要性。所综述的研究表明，环境因素显著影响当地蜜蜂的行为特征和适应性。值得注意的是， 的卫生行为有助于它们抵抗疾病和 螨。在这些领域的进一步研究对于增进我们对阿尔及利亚蜜蜂健康和种群动态的理解很重要，从而为可持续养蜂实践提供策略依据。
