    (DMMMSU Research and Extension Journal, 2018-12-01) Tuyan, Arvin C.; Akilith, Carolyn C.; Sobrepeña, rvin F.; Lopez , Shirley O.
    The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of propolis tincture as affected by the concentrations and the time/duration of healing the wounds in male castrated piglets.The different concentrations of propolis tincture have comparable effects to Povidone iodine. However the 30% propolis tincture and Povidone iodine have comparably faster healing effects within 10 days compared to 10%and 20% propolis tincture. Significant decrease in the length of wounds was observed during the duration of the healing process. Results further revealed no significant interaction among the different concentrations of propolis tincture and the duration of healing the wounds.Production of propolis tincture was found to be profitable.IntroductionThe primary products of the honeybees are honey wax, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, venom, queens and the brood s. These can be utilized in their original state as produced by the honeybees, however there are other additional uses only as part among the ingredients of another new products. Their addition to other products usually enhances the value or quality of the secondary products. The addition of propolis in different formulations of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products is being done because of the effects derived from such.Propolis is a mixture of numerous amounts of beewax and resins collected by honeybees from plants. Research has demonstrated its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties. According to Chernyak (1971) as cited by Krell(1996), one the most Research Article

    Year round royal jelly production determining the best season of producing royal jelly
    (DMMMSU Research and Extension Journal, 2020-12-01) Tuyan, Arvin C.; Claro, Rizalde A.; Dulay, Lolita S.
    This research was conceptualized to determine the preeminent season for the production of royal jelly from the honeybee Apis mellifera. Three strong double-chambered colonies of equal strength were utilized throughout the duration of the study and the grafting method was applied to facilitate the production of the jelly by the bees. Royal jelly can be produced at any time of year provided that all the necessary requirements of the colonies are available. Research results revealed that the highest yield was obtained during the months of April and May, which coincides with the honey production season, wherein an abundant supply of food for the bees is available. Accordingly, production of royal jelly is best when there are sufficient quantity of pollen and nectar for the colonies and it is important therefore to note the honeyflow season in a particular area as basis for production.
