    Climate change is a problem that aff ects many sectors around the world and seriously threatens human life. Th is change has profound impacts on agriculture, water resources, wildlife, and ecosystems. For an important species such as bees, the consequences of these changes are expected to be serious. Bees are a critical part of natural cycles and agricultural production, and bee products have signifi cant nutritional, health, and economic value. Th e impacts of climate change on bees are expected to naturally aff ect bee products. In this chapter, we will examine the possible impacts of climate change on the chemical and biological properties of bee products.

I got 70 points in the Interuniversity Board Center Foreign Language Exam in November 1996. In the same year, I received Veterinary Epidemiology training for 3 months at Colorado State University Veterinary Faculty. Upon my return, I started working as the laboratory manager of the Virology Laboratory within the Elazığ Veterinary Control Institute. I worked in this position for a long time. On 12.09.2015, I started working at the Virology Department of Bingöl University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. I left this position. On 13.09.2015, at Bingöl University, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Virology, Dr. I started working as a faculty member. I was appointed as the head of the Department of Virology on 05.11.2015.
