Sažetak
The honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) is one of the most important pollinators. However, climate changes, along with diseases that cause loss of colonies, is recognized as one of the basic problems of beekeeping in the future. Dry summers and cold springs, if the beekeeper does not intervene, can lead to colony losses or slow spring development. In this study, over two seasons, the impact of stimulating spring feeding with protein patties on the development of honey bee colonies and the presence of nosema spores (Nosema spp.) was examined in a total of 1200 honey bee colonies located in 20 apiaries in continental Croatia. The results showed a decrease in the number of nosema spores in the colonies fed with protein patties, while no significant differences in the strength of the colonies (number of frames with bees and brood) were found between the groups
