In the 1930s, a strong correlation was established between bees and metal content in the environment (E. Crane, 1984). While certain heavy metals are essential for living organisms at specific concentrations, their excessive accumulation in plants, due to high soil levels, poses risks to bees and, subsequently, humans through honey products, leading to potential poisoning and serious health issues. In several regions of Russia, the impact of industrial activities on agriculture has escalated to a level that can be viewed as a global ecological crisis and a national security threat. The use of insecticides significantly harms beekeeping, not only causing the death of individual colonies but also weakening many others (M.D. Levin, 1971). There is also a risk of pesticides contaminating honey products through chemically synthesized treatments for bee diseases.
