OCA14. Characteristics of the author's contribution	The use of antibiotic therapy for bacterial diseases in honey bees in countries that allow this therapy is questionable due to its low efficacy, the development of resistant bacterial strains and residues in honey bee products. In view of the above, alternative methods of prevention or therapy have been considered for honey bee plague.
OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.	Alternative methods for the prevention or treatment of honey bee brood disease are mainly based on substances of natural origin that do not adversely affect bee products and do not burden the environment. Examples of such substances include probiotics, prebiotics, fatty acids, plant essential oils and other plant materials. These substances are commonly used in the prevention or treatment of a range of diseases in livestock and pets and have recently been used in beekeeping.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in English	Alternative methods of prevention or therapy of American foulbrood are based mostly on substances of natural origin that neither affect adversely the honey bee products nor put some load on the environment. Such substances include for example probiotics, prebiotics, fatty acids, plant essential oils, and other plant materials. These substances are commonly used in prevention or treatment of a whole range of diseases of farm and pet animals and have also recently been used in bee-keeping.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practice	Swarm plague is one of the most serious diseases of honey bee brood. Treatment for this disease is banned in EU countries. Affected hives must instead be burned, leading to considerable economic losses. Prevention using our tested probiotics is cheaper and more economical and thus results in considerable economic savings for both the state and the beekeepers.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational process	The results are usable in the educational process as an alternative prophylaxis option for this dangerous disease which is subject to mandatory reporting.
