Abstract

Nanotechnology, which involves the use of materials smaller than 100 nanometers to perform specific tasks, has gained attention in agriculture, industry, and medicine. As this field has advanced, various techniques for preparing nanoparticles have been developed. While nanotechnology has mainly focused on creating for managing plant diseases and pests, its applications in beekeeping are limited. Most research in this field has examined the use of bee products as nanoparticles for medical purposes. This article reviews the applications of nanotechnology in beekeeping, covering areas such as tools, instrumental insemination, nutrition, pollination, swarming, pest and disease control, and bee products. It also addresses the potential risks posed by nanoparticles to honeybees. This review aims to highlight emerging trends in beekeeping and to encourage further research on nanotechnology’s role in improving bee management practices.

Since 2020, Eurasia Specialized Veterinary Publication has been dedicated to publishing rigorous scientific research in veterinary medicine, entomology, animal health, and related disciplines. Our journals offer a peer-reviewed home for original research, review articles, and short communications, spanning veterinary and clinical sciences, animal health and disease management, pathology, pharmacology, diagnostics, zoonotic diseases, epidemiology, and public health. Our entomology titles bring together work on insect biology, ecology and behavior, taxonomy and systematics, physiology, biodiversity and conservation, pest management, and medical and veterinary entomology. We also welcome interdisciplinary research that explores the connections between animal, human, insect, and environmental health — work that reflects the reality that these fields rarely stand apart from one another. In all that we publish, our aim remains the same: to support the exchange of meaningful, practical scientific knowledge within the international research community.
