Abstract

Erkek arılarla yapılan yayınlar tozlaşma, yavru ve bal üretimine katkı sağlamadığı için işçi ve ana
arılardan çok daha azdır. Fakat ana arının üremedeki başarısı kaliteli erkek arılarla başarılı bir şekilde
çiftleşmesinin bir sonucudur. Bunun yanında erkek arı ile çalışmalar çiftleşmenin kalitesi ve etkinliğini
artırabilir. Erkek arıların üremedeki rekabeti çevresel ve kovan içi gelişme faktörlerinden etkilenir ve
bu durum ana arının ölümü veya ideal sperm seviyesinin altında kalmasına neden olabilir. Bu sorun
ana arıyı olumsuz etkileme ve dolayısı ile koloninin toplam üretim ve yaşamını çok ciddi derecede
olumsuz etkileyecek sonuçlar doğurabilir. Erkek arılar böcek ve akar öldürücü kimyasallara karşı çok
hassastırlar. Bu kimysalların çoğu hem erkek arı sperm kalitesi, spermlerin yaşam gücü ve
konsantrasyonu ve hem de erkek üretimi ve karakterleri üzerinde olumsuz etkileri bulunmaktadır. Bu
ilaçlar erkek arıların yavru döneminde önce işçi arılar ve daha sonra hem işçi arılar ve hemde kendileri
kovan içinde beslenirken olumsuz etkilenmektedir.
Bu derleme çalışması tarım ilaçlarına maruz kalan erkek arıların nasıl etkilenebileceği konusundaki
çalışmaları kapsamaktadır.

IMPACT OF PESTICIDES ON HONEYBEE (Apis mellifera L.) DRONES

Abstract

Published research about drones is far less extensive than about either worker or queen bees because drones do not contribute to brood production, pollination or honey production. However, much of the reproductive quality of the queen, though, is a function of the mating success and quality of the drones. Besides, studies of drones could help in breeding programs by improving the efficiency and quality of mating. Drones whose reproductive competitiveness is affected by several environmental and in-hive factors during development or adulthood may contribute dead or suboptimal sperm to a queen, which can have severe negative consequences not only for the queen herself but for her colony’s overall productivity and survival. We review here studies that describe pesticide exposure that may influence drone fitness. The present review shows that drones are very sensitive to acaricides and insecticides. Most of them have negative impacts not only on drone semen quality such as spermatozoid viability and concentration but also on drone production and their traits.
