Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin farklı illerinde (Ankara, Antalya, Konya, Mersin, Ordu) ticari ana arı yetiştiriciliği yapan altı işletmeden Ağustos–Eylül 2018 tarihlerinde üretilen ve tesadüfi olarak toplanan 30 adet ana arı kullanılmıştır. Ana arılarda kalite özellikleri olarak kabul edilen canlı ağırlık, spermateka çapı, spermateka hacmi ve spermatozoa sayısı değerlendirilmiştir. Ölçümler sonucunda sırasıyla ortalama 167,20±3,68 mg, 1.015±0.007 mm, 0,55±0,01mm³ ve 0.374±0.058 milyon/ana olarak belirlenmiştir. Ölçümü yapılan özelliklerden spermatozoit sayısı bakımından işletmeler arasında önemli derecede istatistiki fark belirlenirken (P<0.01), diğer özellikler bakımından farklılık bulunmamıştır. Kaliteli bir ana arıda canlı ağırlığın 200 mg ve üzeri, spermateka çapının 1.2 mm ve üzeri, spermateka hacminin 0.90 mm³ ve üzeri, spermatekada depolanan spermatozoit sayısının 5 milyon ve üzeri olması istenmektedir. Ana arıların canlı ağırlık, spermateka çapı, spermateka hacmi ve spermatekada depolanan spermatozoit miktarı yönünden kalite ve standart değerlerin çok altında belirlenmiştir.

EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY CRITERIA OF QUEENS PRODUCED IN DIFFERENT PROVINCES OF TURKEY IN AUTUMN

Abstract

In this study, 30 queen bees which were produced, and randomly collected between August-September 2018, were used from 6 enterprises that produce commercial queens in different cities (Ankara, Antalya, Konya, Mersin, Ordu) of Turkey. The live weight of the queens, spermatheca diameter, spermatheca volume, and the number of spermatozoa, were evaluated as quality criteria. As a result of the measurements, the mean values of 167.20 ± 3.68 mg, 1.015 ± 0.007 mm, 0.55±0.01mm³ and 0.374±0.058 million/queen were determined, respectively. While there was a statistically significant difference in terms of number of spermatozoids (P<0.01), no difference was found in terms of other characteristics among the commercial businesses. A high quality queen bee is required to weigh 200 mg or more, 1.2 mm and or more of spermatheca diameter, 0.90 mm³ and above for the volume of the spermatheca, and 5 million or more of spermatozoids stored in the spermatheca. It was determined that the quality in terms of live weight, spermatheca diameter, spermatheca volume and the amount of spermatozoid stored in the spermatheca of queen bees were much lower than the standard values.
