Antioxidant Properties of Bee Products Derived from Medicinal Plants as Beekeeping Sources

Plant species are fundamental source of nectar in beekeeping since bees access nectar and pollen from flowers. Consequently, bee products are strongly linked to the bee foraging flora source, and, depending on this, they acquire defined features, including their health and medicinal properties. Medi...
