Luckily, bees don't die from antibiotics. In fact, the use of antibiotics in beekeeping is not a recommended practice. 
 
Bees do not carry bacterial infections that are usually treated with antibiotics. Moreover, the use of antibiotics in beekeeping can lead to the development of resistance in bacteria and harm the ecosystem. 
 
Instead, beekeepers can use other methods to keep their bees healthy. One of these methods is natural selection - the process of choosing the most healthy and adapted bees for breeding new colonies. 
 
Also, beekeepers can use safer alternatives to antibiotics, such as propolis or honey, which have antimicrobial properties. 
 
Although bees do not die from antibiotics, their health can be threatened by other factors such as climate change, pesticides and pollution. 
 
Bees play an important role in our ecosystem and we must take care of them. If you have questions about beekeeping or bee health, please consult an experienced beekeeper or agricultural professionals.
