Abstract

Son
yıllarda arı ölümleri oldukça popüler bir çalışma konusu olmasına rağmen, arı
kayıplarının nedenleri somut bir şekilde açıklanamamaktadır. Yapılan
çalışmalarda, bu ölümlerin birçok sebebinin olduğu belirtilse de ölümlerin
gerçekleşmesindeki en büyük payın tarımsal mücadele amaçlı olarak kullanılan
pestisitlerin olduğu tahmin edilmektedir.

Arı kayıpları en fazla kış bitiminde ve erken
ilkbaharda görülmektedir. Bu çalışma ile neonicotinoid grubundan imidacloprid
etken maddeli tarımsal savaş ilacının Anadolu bal arısı (Apis mellifera
anatoliaca) üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, 5 ml /100 L su ve bu
dozun %50 seyreltilmiş 6 farklı dozu (2,5 ml /100 L su, 1,25 ml /100 L su,
0,625 ml /100 L su, 0,312 ml /100 L su, 0,156 ml /100 L su) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma
sonunda, imidaclopridin farklı dozları uygulanan arıların % 75.66’sı ölürken,
kontrol grubu arıların %49’u ölmüştür. Bu çalışma ile imidacloprid uygulanan
arıların kontrol grubu arılarına göre daha fazla kış kaybına uğradığı
görülmüştür. Kontrol grubunda yaşanan ölümler; kış kaybının yaşanmasında
pestisitlerin yanı sıra daha farklı etmenlerin de olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.

Does Imidacloprid Cause Winter Losses In Honey Bees?

Abstract

Although
bee deaths have been a popular topic in recent years, the causes of bee losses
cannot be explained tangibly. Although it is stated that there are many causes
of these deaths, it is estimated that pesticides which are used for
agricultural purposes are the biggest causes of deaths.  Bee losses are seen at the end of winter and
early spring. In this study, it has been investigated that the effect of
imidacloprid active ingredient agricultural war drug from the neonicotinoid
group on Anatolian honey bee (Apis mellifera anatoliaca) In the study, 5 ml /
100 L water and 6 different doses of this dose are diluted 50% (2.5 ml / 100 L
water, 1,25 ml / 100 L water, 0,625 ml / 100 L water, 0,312 ml / 100 L water,
0.115 ml / 100 L water). At the end of the study, 75.66 % of the honey bees
applied at different doses of imidaxloprid died, while 49 % of the control bees
died. In this study, it was observed that the bees that imidacloprid is applied
has incured more winter losses than the control group bees. Deaths in the
control group; in addition to pesticides in the winter loss, there are also
different factors.
