Abstract

Bee diseases are one of the main problems related to beekeeping activities. Harmful microorganisms such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, and fungi cause diseases in honey bees juvenile and adult periods. These disease-causing agents enter the colony by various means and spread rapidly from colony to colony, apiary to apiary, and region to region. Therefore, bee diseases are the main problems that negatively affect beekeeping activities, cause colony losses, and limit production efficiency. In bee diseases, symptoms such as watery stools, thirst, tremors during rest, unusual wing angles, restless behavior of bees in the chronic period, and changes in body physiology are observed. These symptoms appear mostly in the spring. However, the disease suppresses the hive during the summer period. Therefore, to minimize the problems in the hive, there is a need to control the diseases and develop control methods. Colonies should be observed correctly in the spring and fall periods and strengthening activities should be carried out. It is recommended to move sick colonies to disinfected hives after they have been treated. The reason for this is to prepare the colony for the winter period without allowing brood development to stop during the summer period. It is very difficult to say that beekeepers are made aware of this field, the correct treatment methods are applied, and they have access to the relevant resources. It is seen that some existing treatment methods and drugs are not direct solutions for bee diseases. For this reason, this review covers bee diseases and pests that can cause colony losses in detail. These diseases are mainly classified as 'bacterial', 'viral', 'protozoal', and 'other colony pests'. In addition, traditional and new technological treatment methods for bee diseases are also briefly mentioned.

Arı Hastalıkları ve Tedavi Yöntemleri

Abstract

Arı hastalıkları, arıcılık faaliyetleri ile ilgili temel sorunlardan biridir. Parazitler, bakteriler, virüsler ve mantarlar gibi zararlı mikroorganizmalar bal arılarının yavru ve ergin dönemlerinde hastalıklara neden olmaktadır. Bu hastalık etmenleri çeşitli yollarla koloniye girmekte ve koloniden koloniye, arılıktan arılığa ve bölgeden bölgeye hızla yayılmaktadır. Bu nedenle arı hastalıkları, arıcılık faaliyetlerini olumsuz etkileyen, koloni kayıplarına neden olan ve üretim verimliliğini sınırlayan başlıca sorunlardır. Arı hastalıklarında sulu dışkı, susuzluk, dinlenme sırasında titreme, alışılmadık kanat açıları, kronik dönemde arıların huzursuz davranışları ve vücut fizyolojisinde değişiklikler gibi belirtiler görülmektedir. Bu belirtiler çoğunlukla ilkbaharda ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak hastalık yaz döneminde kovanı baskı altına almaktadır. Bu nedenle kovandaki sorunları en aza indirmek için hastalıkların kontrol altına alınması ve mücadele yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç vardır. İlkbahar ve sonbahar dönemlerinde koloniler doğru gözlemlenmeli ve güçlendirme çalışmaları yapılmalıdır. Hasta kolonilerin tedavi edildikten sonra dezenfekte edilmiş kovanlara taşınması önerilmektedir. Bunun nedeni, yaz döneminde kuluçka gelişiminin durmasına izin vermeden koloniyi kış dönemine hazırlamaktır. Arıcıların bu alanda bilinçlendirildiğini, doğru tedavi yöntemlerinin uygulandığını ve ilgili kaynaklara ulaşabildiklerini söylemek çok zordur. Mevcut bazı tedavi yöntemleri ve ilaçların arı hastalıkları için doğrudan çözüm olmadığı görülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu derlemede koloni kayıplarına neden olabilen arı hastalık ve zararlıları detaylı olarak ele alınmıştır. Bu hastalıklar temel olarak 'bakteriyel', 'viral', 'protozoal' ve 'diğer koloni zararlıları' olarak sınıflandırılmıştır. Ayrıca, arı hastalıkları için geleneksel ve yeni teknolojik tedavi yöntemlerinden de kısaca bahsedilmektedir.
