Experiment shows improved sperm quality in honeybee semen with LDL supplementation, indicating potential benefits for beekeeping.
Introduction: Long-term storage of bee semen by freezing is a critical process for both the preservation of the genetic material and the sustainability of beekeeping activities. It has been observed that low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) increase sperm quality after freezing and thawing. Although studies have been conducted on the use of LDL for this purpose in different animal species, no research has been conducted on honeybee semen to date.
