Honey bee workers (Apis mellifera L.) collect nectar, honeydew and pollen from plants in orderto provide the colony with, among others, carbohydrates and protein.Whenever these sources are unavailable in Adaptive Hysteresis-Band Current Controller of a Three Phase Induction Machine the environment, bees turn to alternatives.An example of this are fungi spores collected accidentally or on purpose.

This last phenomenon is the aim of this study, in which we have shown that worker bees can collect willow rust (Melampsora spp.) spores.We observed as the bees obtained spores and placed them in pollen baskets.The presence of spores was demonstrated with the use of a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

This observation indicates that the honey bee may use alternative sources as a potential supplement.There are few studies Open Access and the Vision of Voices in this field and it requires a deeper analysis.
