Abstract

This study was conducted between 2012-2014 years in Aydın province to compare the success of individual and mass storage of mated honey bee queens (Apis mellifera) under the winter conditions of Aegean region. The queens reared from Italian (It) and Aegean ecotype of Anatolian (AE) honey bee races in 2 consecutive years were overwintered en masse in reservoir colonies and individually in colonies held in Kirchain mating boxes and 5-frame nucleus hives (control group). In the first year, both queenright reservoir (QRR) and queenless reservoir (QLR) colonies were prepared from both naturally mated It and AE queens for mass storage, whereas only queenless reservoir (QLR) colonies from both races were used in the second year. A total of 112 mated queens were stored both in 4 QRR and 4 QLR in the first year, whereas a total of 56 mated queens were stored only in 4 QLR in the second year. In both years, 10 It and 10 AE queens were individually overwintered in 20 mating boxes. At the end of about 3-month overwintering period in both years, queen survival (%) was determined in all experimental groups. In order to test whether mass storage affected the reproductive performance of queens, 30 queens overwintered in the first year in reservoir colonies (10 queens), mating boxes (10 queens) and nucleus hives (10 queens) were introduced into test colonies. The queen survival (%) was not affected by both the race of reservoir colony (P>0.05) and of the queen overwintered (P>0.05). But, the type of reservoir colony affected queen survival (P

Özet

Aydın'da 2012-2014 yılları arasında yürütülen bu araştırmanın amacı Ege Bölgesi koşullarında bireysel ve kitlesel ana arı (Apis mellifera) kışlatma başarısını karşılaştırmaktır. Ardı sıra 2 yıl Anadolu arısı Ege ekotipi (AE) ve İtalyan ırkından (It) yetiştirilen ana arılar banka kolonilerinde kitlesel ve çiftleştirme kutularında ve ruşetlerde (kontrol) bireysel kışlatılmıştır. Kitlesel kışlatma için birinci yıl AE ve It ırkından ana arılı (ABK) ve ana arısız (ASBK) banka kolonileri, ikinci yıl ise ana arısız banka kolonileri (ASBK) kullanılmıştır. Birinci yıl, her 2 ırktan (AE: 4 koloni, It: 4 koloni) 8 banka kolonisinde (ABK: 4 koloni, ASBK: 4 koloni) toplam 112 ana arı, ikinci yıl ise, 4 ASBK (AE: 2 koloni, It: 2 koloni)'de toplam 56 ana arı kitlesel kışlatılmıştır. Her 2 yılda 20 çiftleştirme kutusunda 10 It ve 10 AE ana arı bireysel kışlatılmıştır. Yaklaşık 3 ay süren her kışlatma dönemi sonunda her grupta ana arı yaşama gücü (%) saptanmıştır. Kitlesel kışlatmanın ana arıların üreme performansını etkileyip etkilemediğini test etmek için birinci yıl kitlesel ve bireysel kışlatılmış ana arılardan rasgele 30'u (banka kolonisi: 10, çiftleştirme kutusu: 10, ruşet: 10) üretim kolonilerine kabul ettirilmiştir. Ana arı yaşama gücü; banka kolonisinin ırkına (P>0.05) ve kışlatılan ana arının genotipine (P>0.05) göre değişmemiştir. Fakat banka kolonisinin tipi ana arı yaşama gücünü etkilemiştir (P
