Bu çalışmada, Artvin ilindeki arıcılık faaliyetlerinde kritik öneme sahip nektar ve polen bitkileri hakkında bilgiler sunulmuştur. Araştırmanın amacı, Artvin ili çevresinde arıcılık amaçları için bal bitkilerinin floristik zenginliğini tanımlamak, tanıtmak ve vurgulamaktır. İlgili çalışmaların incelenmesi sonucunda, bal arılarının (Apis mellifera) yararlanabileceği 91 familya, 355 cins ve 789 bitki taksonu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın kapsamı dahilinde 90 takson yalnızca bu çalışma ile belirlenmiştir. Belirlenen taksonlar için bilimsel ve Türkçe isimler, habitatlar ve arılar için önemli olan aktif çiçeklenme dönemleri verilmiştir. Lamiaceae, 78 takson ile en büyük aile olarak temsil edilirken, bunu 65 takson ile Rosaceae, 63 takson ile Asteraceae, 58 takson ile Fabaceae ve 33 takson ile Apiaceae takip etmektedir. Ayrıca, nektar ve polen kaynağı olarak 789 bitki taksonundan 600’ünün kullanılabileceği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma, bal bitkilerinin Artvin ilindeki dağılımları, ait oldukları familyalar, Latince ve Türkçe isimleri, bulundukları ilçeler, habitatlar ve arıcılık için önemli olan aktif çiçeklenme dönemleri hakkında bilgi sağlamaktadır. Kimyasal gübreler, herbisitler ve diğer yabancı ot ve haşere kontrolü için kimyasal maddelerin bulunmaması nedeniyle, bölge organik bal üretimi için önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bölgede üretilen yüksek kaliteli organik bal, ülke genelinde talep görmekte olup, arıcıların bal üretiminden önemli gelir elde etmelerini sağlamaktadır.
In this study, information about nectar and pollen plants crucial in beekeeping activities in Artvin province is presented. The aim of the research is to identify, introduce, and highlight the floristic richness of honey plants in the vicinity of Artvin province for beekeeping purposes. Through the examination of related studies, 789 plant taxa belonging to 355 genera and 91 families that honey bees (Apis mellifera) can benefit from were identified. 90 taxon were determined only within the scope of this study. The scientific and Turkish names, habitats, and active flowering periods important for bees were provided for these identified taxa. Lamiaceae are the largest families represented by 78 taxa each, followed by Rosaceae with 65 taxa, Asteraceae with 63 taxa, Fabaceae with 58 taxa and Apiaceae with 33 taxa. Moreover, it was determined that 600 out of the 789 plant taxa that can be used as nectar and pollen sources. This study provides information about the distribution in Artvin province, their respective families, Latin and Turkish names, districts where they are found, habitats, and active flowering periods for some plants crucial for beekeeping. Due to the absence of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and other chemical substances for weed and pest control, the region holds significant potential for organic honey production. The high-quality organic honey produced in the region is in demand nationwide, enabling beekeepers to generate substantial income from honey production.
