Abstract

In honeybees, reproduction ability of workers were suppressed by pheromones of queen and broods. Functional ovaries of workers are activated when the pheromone pressure has been removed and consequently the number of unfertilized eggs which laid by workers are increased in the colony. Nevertheless, some workers can lay in queenright colonies and this eggs develop into adult males in lower rates. Normally, worker-laid eggs are recognized and removed by other worker honeybees. This behavior named as ‘worker policing’ and some hypothesis are revealed about this system. In this study, worker policing mechanism, its possible causes and consequences were summarized in honeybees

Abstract

Bal arılarında, işçi arıların üreme yetenekleri ana arı ve yavrular tarafından salgılanan feromonlarla engellenmektedir. İşçi
arılardaki fonksiyonel yumurtalıklar bu feromon baskısı ortadan kalktığı zaman aktif hale geçmekte ve kolonide yalancı ana
arılar tarafından bırakılan dölsüz yumurta sayısı artmaktadır. Ancak ana arılı normal kolonilerde de düşük oranlarda olmakla
birlikte işçi arıların yumurtlayabildiği gözlenmiştir. Koloni içerisinde bu şekilde işçi arılar tarafından bırakılan erkek arı
yumurtalarının diğer işçi arılar tarafından tespit edilerek ortadan kaldırılması söz konusudur. İşçi arıların bu davranışına
“denetleme” (worker policing) davranışı adı verilmiştir ve bu davranışın mekanizması konusunda farklı hipotezler ileri
sürülmüştür. Bu çalışmada işçi arılarda denetleme davranışı gösterme ya da göstermeme durumları ve olası sebepleri
irdelenmiştir.
