PECULIARITIES OF ACCUMULATION OF HEAVY METALS IN THE SYSTEM SOIL-PLANT-BEE-BEE PRODUCTS
Studied the reception of apimonitoring as an environmentally rational approach to the display of environmental degradation. The features of heavy metals accumulation in bee products, in the territories of different anthropogenic load are distinguished. The most exponential indicators of environmental pollution among the bee products were pollen corbicula and propolis. By the content of Pb, Ni, Co and Cr propolis is the most polluted among bee products. The level of Pb, Ni, Co and Cr in propolis is higher than in the corbicula in 1.8; 1,89; and 1,19 8,91 times, respectively. While the content of biophil elements (Zn, Cu, Mn) in propolis is smaller than in a corbicula. Significantly different the concentrations of HM in the wax of various ages - in a freshly built cell, the accumulation of Zn, Cu, Mn and Ni in 5,8-8,3 and Pb and Cr in 1.3-1.5 times less than in the old cells. A significant reduction in the amount of heavy metals compared to the body of bees is also observed in the wax. The content of investigated heavy metals in the insects’ bodies naturally increases with the increase of their age, that is, during the lifetime they accumulate in their bodies. In the bodies of bees, taken at the end of the season, the concentration of zinc increased in 2.41 times, copper - in 1,94, manganese - 1,32, cadmium - in 2,59, chromium is 1.8, which is connected with intensive work and contact with environmental objects. Honey contains of only biophil elements (Zn, Cu, Mn) in small amounts in comparison to significantly other products of beekeeping, the content of Pb, Ni, Co, Cr, Cd is below the detection limit.
