Batı Karadeniz Bölgesi doğal Bombus terrestris dalmatinus arılarının koloni özelliklerinin ticari koloniler ile karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Doğal ve ticari populasyon ana arıları arasında yumurtlama ve koloni oluşturma başarısı bakımından farklılıklar önemli bulunmamıştır. Doğadan toplanan ana arılar ticari populasyon ana arılarına göre daha erken yumurtlamaya başlamış ve birinci kuluçka döneminde daha az yumurta hücresi ve işçi arı üretmişlerdir. Ticari ana arılar tarafından oluşturulan koloniler (82.11 ± 9.32 adet) doğal populasyon ana arıları tarafından oluşturulan kolonilere göre (32.85 ± 3.97 adet) daha fazla sayıda genç ana arı üretmişlerdir. Doğal ve ticari koloniler arasında erkek ve genç ana arı üretimi stratejisi bakımından farklılık belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada diyapoz dönemini doğal koşullarda geçiren 100 adet (‘doğal’ populasyon) ve laboratuvar koşullarında geçiren 100 adet (‘ticari’ populasyon) olmak üzere toplam 200 adet ana arı kullanılmış ve bu ana arıların koloni oluşturması sağlanmıştır. kolonileri ile karşılaştırılmıştır.

Colony traits of native Bombus terrestris dalmatinus from the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey: comparison with commercial colonies

Abstract

The present experiment was conducted to determine the developmental characters of the native bumblebee Bombus terrestris dalmatinus that occurs in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey, where commercial colonies have not been used as pollination agents. The colony traits of this native population were compared with the traits of commercial colonies of B. terrestris. A total of 200 queens, 100 naturally diapaused (‘native’ population) and 100 artificially diapaused (‘commercial’ population), were allowed to found colonies. There were no differences in egg laying and colony founding success between the native and commercial queens. Queens collected from the field commenced egg-laying earlier than commercial queens, and produced less egg cells and workers in the first brood. Colonies founded by commercial queens produced more gynes (82.11 ± 9.32) than colonies founded by native queens (32.85 ± 3.97). Native and commercial colonies also differed in their patterns of production of males and gynes.
