Abstract:

 

In this study, the effects of extracts obtained from medicinal and aromatic plants added to syrups used to feeding honeybee (Apis mellifera L.) colonies on some physiological characteristics of colonies were investigated. The experiment was carried out on 6 groups of 5 colonies. These groups are syrup (S), syrup + Urtica dioica (SU), Syrup + Melissa officinalis (SM), Syrup + Hypericum perforatum (SH), Syrup + Achillea millefolium (SA) and syrup + Thymus serpyllum (ST). As a result of the research, the sealed brood area data were determined as 3013.24±1939.26, 3107.00±2060.42, 3270.81±2194.80, 3091.20±1962.69, 3273.90±2095.49 and 3613.06±2348.27 cm2 in S, SU, SM, SH, SA, ST groups, respectively. When we compare the honey yields of the experimental groups, according to group S, SU increased by 18.48%, SM 43.10%, SH 16.04%, SA 27.35% and ST 53.86%. Therefore, syrup + medicinal and aromatic plant extract mixture given to honey bee colonies may have a positive effect on colony development and honey yield.

 

Bu çalışmada, bal arısı (Apis mellifera L.) kolonilerinin beslenmesinde kullanılan şuruplara eklenen tıbbi ve aromatik bitkilerden elde edilen ekstraktların, kolonilerin bazı fizyolojik özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri araştırılmıştır. Denemede 5’er koloniden oluşan 6 grup bulunmaktadır (şurup (S), şurup + Urtica dioica (SU), Şurup + Melissa officinalis (SM), Şurup + Hypericum perforatum (SH), Şurup + Achillea millefolium (SA) ve şurup + Thymus serpyllum (ST). Araştırma sonucunda, kapalı kuluçka alanı S, SU, SM, SH, SA, ST gruplarında sırasıyla, 3013,24±1939,26, 3107,00±2060,42, 3270,81±2194,80, 3091,20±1962,69, 3273,90±2095,49 ve 3613,06±2348,27 cm2 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca ek beslenmenin arı kolonilerinin bal verimi açısından S grubuna göre, SU %18,48, SM %43,10, SH %16,04, SA % 27,35 ve ST % 53,86 oranında artış göstermiştir. Balarısı kolonilerine verilen şurup + tıbbi ve aromatik bitki ekstraktı karışımının koloni gelişimi ve bal verimi üzerinde etkili olabildiği tespit edilmiştir.
