Propolis collecting capacity of the honey bee race, Apis mellifera L., distributed across Anatolia and Thrace regions Turkey was investigated correlated with morphometric characteristics. Thus, propolis behaviour races ecotypes naturally have been in Turkey, caucasica, carnica, syriaca Yığılca Muğla ecotype anatoliaca were monitored. The mean yield annual recorded as following; (111.6±27.5 g colony) A. m. caucasica (104±20.7 colony), (103±34 carnica (91.16±17.6 (74±6.4 descending order....

Son yıllarda yaygın olarak yapılan göçer arıcılık ve ticari ana arı kullanımı nedeniyle Türkiye biyoçeşitliliğinde homojenizasyon oluştuğu düşünülmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışma kapsamında bal arısı biyoçeşitliliğinin korunup korunamadığı araştırılmıştır. amaçla Türkiye’nin 32 ayrı lokasyonundan işçi örnekleri toplandı sağ ön kanattaki 19 landmarka göre geometrik morfometrik yöntem kullanılarak çalışıldı. Araştırma bulgularına her ne kadar yerel ırkların korunduğu lokal alanlar var olsa da...

Rhododendron honey, made by bees from rhododendron pollen, contains a toxic substance called grayanotoxin.Depending on the dose, poisonous honey can result in serious effects such as cardiac arrhythmia, fibrillation, and myocardial infarction.The purpose of this study is to investigate RH Black Sea Region liver.Male mice were divided into five groups twelve each, two being control (distilled water) others (RH) (25, 50, 75 mg/kg) 0.01 mg/kg grayanotoxin (GTx) groups.Liver tissues collected 24...

In this study, the honeybee diversity existing in Turkey were explained by geometric morphometric methods. For purpose, deviations of junction points right wing veins analyzed with Draw Wing software program. Generalized Procrustes Analysis and Principal Component performed to distinguish populations according intersections vein angles. first two canonical planes, honey bee divided into main groups, Southeastern Anatolia others. While bees Anatolia, which differ terms shape morphology,...

In this study, it was investigated whether different bee breeds prefer plant sources to collect propolis. For purpose four honey race (Apis mellifera caucasica, A. m. carnica, syriaca and anatoliaca) naturally have been in Turkey were placed the same isolated apiary; Propolis harvested from these races. chemical contents of alcoholic extractions propolis analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LCMS / MS). addition that, pollen content samples determined with a microscope....

This study was conducted through the geometric morphometric method by making a sampling as to represent seven geographical regions of Turkey and also all honeybee races that are reported be found in Turkey. Nineteen landmarks on wings bees detected using right front worker were measured Bs200Pro program. According results discriminant function analysis based individual data, true classification rate 54.1%. While Marmara, Aegean, Eastern Anatolia Black Sea Regions formed strictly single...

In this study, the genetic structure of honey bee populations in Türkiye was analyzed using eleven restriction endonuclease enzymes targeting COI-COII, COI, 16S rDNA, ND5, and CYT B genes. A total 553 worker samples were collected from 43 different districts across Türkiye, as well Greece, Bulgaria, Georgia, neighboring countries Türkiye. Analysis COI region HinfI enzyme revealed presence two mitotypes. Type 1 predominant type while 2 detected exclusively Hatay, a province southern part...

In this study, we report that there were five different subspecies and three ecotypes defined so far in Türkiye, which has a rich biodiversity terms of honeybee subspecies. However, recently, it been thought the current is danger extinction due to commercial queen bee supply migratory beekeeping activities from single source. This study uses morphometric method reveal status Türkiye. For purpose, total 3186 worker bees studied by samplings 19 provinces represent races distributed We made...

Today, 29 subspecies have been defined, each of which is adapted to a certain set environmental characteristics, spreading all over the world except Antarctica. Many morphological and morphometric features used classify honey bees from past present. It has reported that such as length, angle indices coming front wings are very efficient for classification. In recent studies, various programs developed automatic classification attempted through images bee wings. This study aimed determine...
