Abstract
The purpose of the presented work was dedicated to identify ing the species composition of the mycobiota of honey bees in Azerbaijan condition. From the samples taken from bees , materials became clear that in the formation of mycobiota those materials (from bees, from where they live and their products) in generally participate 52 species of fungi. Among the recorded fungi , species take part such as Alternaria alternata ( Fr. ) Keissl . , Aspergillus flavus Link , Candida albicans ( C.P. Robin ) Berkhout, Cladosporium herbarum ( Pers. ) Link , Penicillium cuclopium Westling , P. granulatum Bainier and etc. which carry features conditionally pathogenicity, toxicity , allergens and danger to biological productivity of bees and as well as to pollution of their products. It is known for a long time to scientists that these species are dangerous for human health. For this reason, preparation of normative documents that reflect the principles of microbiological safety of bee products is a necessary task.
