Abstract

Bu çalışma, arı peteği kurmanın varsayımsal mekanizmasını aydınlatan deneysel kanıtlar sunmaktadır. Ayrıca, Apis mellifera carpatica tarafından ab initio olarak inşa edilen hücrelerin alt kısmında ilk kez fark edilen çarpık üçgen prizma, geleneksel eşkenar dörtgen dodecahedra'nın tarak mimarisinin zorunlu öğesi olmadığını gösterir. Ortaya çıkan tuhaflık, analiz edilen kalıpları oluşturan tüm hücre sayısının yaklaşık üçte birine özgüdür. Bina anormalliği muhtemelen ilkel hücre yapımı tarzından gelişmiştir ve uçucu doğal faktörlerle tetiklenebilir, örn. coğrafi konum ve iklim bölgesi, çiçek şekillerinin çeşitliliği, aktif mevsim süresi ve arı ırkı. Açıklanan yapısal çeşitlilik, kolonilerin vurgulanan rahatsızlıklar üzerindeki tepkisini yansıtır ve arıların mühendislik hünerleri tarafından şart koşulabilir.

MAY THE HONEYCOMB ARCHITECTURAL DEVIATIONS REFLECT THE BEES ENGINEERING PROWESS?

Abstract

This study affords the experimental evidences elucidate the putative mechanism of the bee comb establishing. Furthermore, the first time discerned skewed triangular prism in the bottom of the cells ab initio built up by Apis mellifera carpatica indicates that the traditional rhombic dodecahedra is not mandatory element of the comb architecture. The revealed oddity is inherent to about one third of the whole number of the cells constitute the analyzed patterns. The building abnormality presumably developed from the primeval manner of cells construction and may be triggered with the volatile natural factors e.g. geographic location and climatic zone, variety of floral shapes, duration of active season as well as bee race. Disclosed constructional diversity mirror the reaction of the colonies on the highlighted disturbances and might be stipulated by the bees’ ability to engineering prowess.
