Abstract

Bu çalışmada Düzce Üniversitesi Süs ve Tıbbi Bitkiler Botanik Bahçesi’ne dikilen taksonlardan bal arısının (Apis mellifera L.) yararlanabileceği ballı bitkiler sunulmuştur. Botanik bahçesine dikimi gerçekleştirilen 451 taksondan bu özelliklere sahip olanlar konuyla ilgili çalışmalar incelenerek belirlenmiştir. Ballı bitki sınıfına giren 165 taksondan (%36,58); 119'u hem nektar hem de polen, 25'i polen, 13'ü nektar, 4'ü hem polen hem de böcek salgısı (BS) veya tatlı özsu (TÖS), 2'si polen, nektar ve BS veya TÖS, 1'i hem nektar hem de TÖS, 1’i yalnızca BS içerir. Küresel iklim değişikliği nedeniyle sayıları azalan polen ve polen taşıyıcı böceklerin azalmasını önlemek amacıyla botanik bahçesine bir "Arı ve Böcek Oteli" yerleştirildi. Bu nedenle dikim için seçilen bitkilerin büyük çoğunluğu ballı bitki özelliği taşıyan taksonlardan seçildi. Buradaki temel amaç hem botanik bahçesindeki bitkilerin tozlaşmasını sağlamak hem de böcek türlerinin tozlaşma üzerindeki etkilerini doğa eğitimi yoluyla göstermek ve anlatmaktır.

Honey Plants of Düzce University Ornamental and Medicinal Plants Botanical Garden

Abstract

In this study, melliferous plants that the honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) can benefit from among the taxa planted in Düzce University Ornamental and Medicinal Plants Botanical Garden, are presented. Among the 451 taxa planted in the botanical garden, those with these characteristics were determined by reviewing studies on the subject. Of the 165 taxa (36.58%) included in the honey plant class; 119 contain both nectar and pollen, 25 contain pollen, 13 contain nectar, 4 contain both pollen and insect secretion (IS) or sweet sap (SS), 2 contain pollen, nectar and IS or SS, 1 contain both nectar and SS, 1 contain only IS. In order to prevent the decrease in pollinator and pollinator insects, whose numbers are decreasing due to global climate change, a "Bee and Insect Hotel" was placed in the botanical garden. For this reason, the majority of the plants selected for planting were chosen from taxa with honey plant properties. The main purpose here is both to pollinate the plants in the botanical garden and to show and explain the effects of insect species on pollination through nature education.
