This research examines how natural plant-based compounds can be used to treat diseases in honeybees, offering safer alternatives to synthetic chemicals. The study shows that essential oils and plant extracts can effectively combat various bee pathogens while being environmentally friendly and less likely to contaminate honey products. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps protect honeybees that are crucial for pollinating many food crops we depend on • Supports production of cleaner, chemical-free honey products for consumers • Provides beekeepers with natural treatment options that are less likely to cause resistance • Contributes to more sustainable agricultural practices • Helps maintain healthy bee populations needed for ecosystem balance
