Factors affecting the tendency to consume organic honey in Kerman with Hekman-Tobit approach.The demand for organic products has increased significantly among consumers in recent years.Also ,due to the high price risk of The se products ,the importance of examining.The factors affecting the analysis of consumer market behavior of these products in the country seems very necessary.Honey is one of the organic products that iran has a comparative advantage in its production world wide. This product and other products due to its high added value can provide some non-oil foreign exchange earning in addition to creating sustainable employment and producing food ,medicine and health needed by the country .In this study ,the factors affecting the choice of organic honey consumers have been studied using the Tobit-Hackman model.The information used was collected through 375 questionaires randomly from households in kerman province in year of 1399.The results showed that income ,processing , cyber space and the price of organic honey compared to non-organic have a positive and significant effect on the tendency to consum .Based on the results ,since among the encom factors ,house hold income has a more impact on the tendency to consume organic food.It is suggested to increase the consumption of these products in the society by controlling and adjusting the price by the relevant organs .

Bees have far older life than human on Earth, and according to historical evidence, honeybee has been involved in human nutrition since the beginning of human creation. Nowadays, in the era of development of bee industry all over the world, it seems that there are still unknown aspects of bee life that knowing it can have a great impact on the success of the workers in this industry. One of these important aspects is to pay attention to the references that exist in the divine religions, including Islam, about bees and its benefits. Examining the verses of the Holy Quran and Islamic traditions can be effective in creating a more comprehensive view of bees and strengthening the intellectual infrastructure of beekeeping industry activists. Therefore, the present study examines Islamic narrative sources and Quranic interpretations to try to identify issues related to the creation, lifestyle and behavior of bees and also mentions the statements made about the healing properties of honey and bee products. Based on the results of the present study, in the verses of the Holy Quran, important issues such as how to build a house, determination the sex of bees, how to feed bees, the healing properties of honey, as well as the process of honey production are directly mentioned, and in Islamic traditions, also the healing properties of honey, moral points and human modeling of bee life are emphasized.

Currently, the sex in honeybees is determined by a mechanism known as the complementary sex-determiner (CSD), which has high diversity. Heterozygous individuals for the csd gene develop into females, while homozygotes develop into diploid males, which are removed by workers at the larval stage. Due to the high correlation of the genetic diversity of this locus with the number of diploid males and colony performance, many studies have been conducted on this region of genome. Fortunately, with advantage in genome sequencing technologies, the investigation of the csd gene conducted to molecular investigation and getting accurate information about this gene. Here, the history of sex determination in honeybees, the structure and diversity of csd gene and its association with the honeybee performance are considered.

Like other organisms, honey bees have various pests and diseases that lead to significant losses in their populations every year and reduce the quantity and quality of colony products. Knowledge and skills in preventing, diagnosing, treating and controlling honey bee pests and diseases can play an important role in apiary management and honey bee health. Diagnostic methods applicable for common pests and diseases of honeybees are fundamentally different from those for livestock. Honeybee colonies may be affected by various biotic and abiotic factors. This study overviews the diagnosis of the most common pests and diseases of honey bees and provides a practical approach to control them in the honey bee apiaries
