Soil acidity influence on heavy metal concentrations in soil and bee products

The article presents the influence of soil pH on the concentration of metals present in bee products, namely, in bee bread and honey. The pH of the soils of the territories of private apiaries in the Birsk, Burayevo, Karaidel districts and the content of heavy metals in soil, bee bread and honey were determined. It is noted that the soil of the apiary of the Birsk district is slightly alkaline. Lead and arsenic accumulate most of all in it. The soil of apiaries in Burayevo and Karaidel districts is alkaline. Copper and arsenic accumulate most of all in them. It is noticed that bee products accumulate in themselves heavy metals. Their greatest accumulation is observed in bee bread.
