Abstract

Balarıları, Jeomanyetik alanı, yön bulma ve konum belirleme amacıyla kullanırlar. Yaptığımız bu çalışmada, manyetik alanın bal arıları üzerindeki etkilerini tespit etmek maksadıyla 2022 yılında Bayburt Üniversitesi Arıcılık araştırma ve uygulama İstasyonunda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada Elektro Manyetik alan (EMF) nın bal arılarının beslenme yerini bulmasına ve beslenme kutusunda (BK) bekleme süresine etkisi tespit edilmiştir. Elektromanyetik alan kaynağı olarak Helmholtz bobini kullanılmıştır. Bobinlerin Elektro Manyetik alan değerleri 0 µT, 25 µT, 75 µT, 125 µT, 175 µT olarak sabitlendi. Helmholtz bobinlerinin merkezlerine içerisine 1/1 lik şeker şurubu doldurulmuş beslenme kapları (petri kabı) yerleştirilmiştir.
En çok ziyaret edilen uygulama BK1 (0 μT) (ortalama 20.06±0,76a arı) ve en az ziyaret edilen uygulama ise BK5 ( 175 μT) (ortalama 11,53±0,63 arı) olmuştur. Kontrol grubu uygulamasına BK1 (0 μT) gelen arılar burada ortalama 34,26±7,08 saniye, manyetik alanın en yüksek uygulandığı U5 (175μT) beslenme kaplarında ise ortalama 12.61 Sn gibi oldukça kısa bir süre bekleyebilmişlerdir.
Bu çalışmanın sonucunda bal arılarının elektromanyetik alandan oldukça etkilendiği görülmüştür.

THE EFFECT OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD ON THEIR ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

Honeybees use the geomagnetic field for navigation and location determination. This study was carried out at Bayburt University Beekeeping Research and Application Station in 2022 to determine the effects of the magnetic field on honey bees. In the study, the effect of Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) on the ability of honey bees to find the feeding place and the waiting time in the feeding box (BK) was determined. Helmholtz coil was used as the electromagnetic field source. Electro Magnetic field values of the coils were fixed as 0 µT, 25 µT, 75 µT, 125 µT, 175 µT. Feeding containers (Petri dishes) filled with 1/1 sugar syrup were placed in the centers of the Helmholtz coils.
The most visited application was BK1 (0 μT) (average 20.06±0.76 bees) and the least visited application was BK5 (175 μT) (average 11.53±0.63 bees). Bees in the control group application BK1 (0 μT) were able to wait an average of 34.26±7.08 seconds here, and in the U5 (175μT) feeding containers where the magnetic field was applied at the highest level, they were able to wait for a very short time, such as 12.61 seconds on average.
As a result of this study, it was seen that honey bees were greatly affected by the electromagnetic field.
