Mineral substances are essential components of animal tissues, categorized as macroelements (calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium) and microelements (iron, copper, iodine, cobalt, zinc, manganese, selenium, etc.). Collectively known as bioelements, they are crucial for various biological processes within the organism. Bees obtain these minerals from pollen and honey, while sugar syrup lacks these vital components. The Varroa mite poses a significant threat to bees by causing dehydration and mineral loss. Supplementing bee feed with essential mineral salts can help maintain their health and improve disease resistance.
