Impact of Different Sugar Syrups on the Development of the Fat Body in Worker Bees (<i>Apis mellifera macedonica</i>) by Svilen B. Lazarov, Petya M. Veleva, Atanas Z. Atanasov, Ivaylo S. Hristakov, Zlatko Puškadija

“…Apiinvert and honey/water syrup promoted higher fat body stages, while Isosweet led to elevated fifth degrees of development but raised concerns about potential toxicity due to the hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) formation of improperly stored syrups. This study concludes that adequate supplemental feeding with easily digestible sugars is critical for promoting fat body development, enhancing winter survival, and ensuring overall colony health. …”
