Sažetak
Bee venom is a product of venom gland of honey bees (Apis mellifera) which achieves a very high price on the market and with a sufficient number of bee colonies on the family farm and better organization of production, it can be an additional source of income. As such, it can amortize instability in the honey market, which is still the only product on many beekeeping farms. However, the lack of standardized technology of bee venom production, the potential of bee venom production is not achieved. The project "Standardization of bee venom collection technology to increase the sustainability of family farms” funded by the Agency for Payments in Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development would test existing methods of bee venom collection - collection at the entrance to the hive and collection inside the hive. During the first year of project implementation, the quantity of collected bee venom were measured at two locations in Croatia (Osijek-Baranja County and Primorje- Gorski Kotar County) by measuring the content of melittin. The average share of melittin in the samples from the continental part (63.16 ± 2.68%) was significantly higher (U = 16.00, p = 0.021) than the samples from the coastal part (50.32 ± 2.68 %). In the second year of the project, it is planned to repeat the measurements.
