Bees elaborate a third of the world's food production, in addition to performing pollination that helps plants grow, they transport pollen between different flowering plants and are thus essential to maintaining the cycle of life. Contamination can reach the raw materials that bees use to generate bee products through the air, water and soil, which is why it is of great importance to carry out quality controls on such products. This book addresses different analytical methodologies for monitoring copper and lead in bee samples. The proposed methodologies represent a suitable alternative for the determination and monitoring of said metals with low operating cost, instrumental simplicity and use of solvents that do not pollute the environment.
