Abstract

Asya'daki en ilkel iğnesiz arı türü, oldukça eusosyal ve korbikülat olan Tetragonula "iridipennis sp. grubudur. Çalışmanın amacı, yuvalarını çatlak ve yarıklara inşa ettikleri için yaşam alanlarının etrafındaki iğnesiz arı davranışlarını keşfetmektir. Arıların kovan içindeki ve yaşam alanlarındaki genel davranışları, 2020-2021 araştırma dönemi boyunca kolonilerin periyodik olarak gözlemlenmesi yoluyla incelenmiştir. Koloni davranışları, arıların (i) giriş değiştirmeye (sabah ve gece boyunca) başvurduklarını, (ii) tuzak ve mumyalama yoluyla davetsiz misafirleri önlemek için sahte yuva ve giriş odası inşa ettiklerini, (iii) toplu tedariki (kuluçka kabı başına tedarikte yer alan işçi sayısı ve süresi) ve yumurtlama sürecini (kraliçe tarafından yumurtlama için geçen süre ve yumurtlamadan sonra işçiler tarafından kuluçka kaplarının kapatılması) takip ettiklerini göstermiştir, (iv) atıkların bir döküntü yumağı olarak uzaklaştırılması yoluyla temizleme işlemine başvurma, (v) dağınıklık ve toprak arama yöntemine başvurma (çiçek ödüllerinin çalınması), (vi) reçine maddeleri (bitkiden elde edilen doğal sütlü lateks ve petrol ürünü-gres gibi) üzerinde yemleme ve (vii) en yoğun yemleme zamanı 10.00 ile 01.00 saatleri arasında gözlenmiştir.

Abstract

Most primitive stingless bee species in Asia areTetragonula “iridipennis sp. group, which are highly eusocial and corbiculate. The aim of the study is to explore thestingless bee behaviour around their habitat, as they have constructed their nest in cracks and crevices. General behaviour of stingless bee, inside the hive and their habitat was studied through periodical observation of colony throughout the research period 2020 to 2021. Colony behaviour showed that the bees (i) resort to switching of entrance (during morning and night), (ii) construct false nest and vestibule chamber to prevent intruders by trapping and mummification, (iii) follow mass provisioning (time and number of workers involved in provisioning per brood pot) and ovipositioning process (time taken for egg laying by queen and sealing of brood pots by workers after oviposition), (iv) resort to cleaning process through removal of waste as a debris ball, (v) resort to mess and soil manner of foraging (burglary of floral rewards), (vi) forage on resin substances (like natural milky latex from plant and petroleum product-grease) and (vii) peak forage time was between 10.00 and 01.00 hours.
