Abstract
Kontrol
edilmesi güç çiftleşme davranışı ve spermaların ana arı sperm kesesinde
depolanması gibi bir çok özellik koloni halinde yaşayan bal arılarını diğer
çiftlik hayvanlarından ayırmaktadır. Güçlü sosyal yapı içerisinde, temel
ifadeyle binlerce işçi arı, mevsime bağlı olarak değişen yüzlerce erkek arı ve
koloninin ebeveynini olarak değerlendirilen bir adet ana arı bulunur. Ana
arının yumurtlayan tek birey olması nedeniyle yetiştiriciliğine yönelik
çalışmalar gün geçtikçe önem kazanmaktadır. Bununla birlikte erkek arıların önemi
ve yetiştiriciliği göz ardı edilmektedir. Oysa ana arılar ile çiftleşen erkek
arıların sahip olduğu özellikler koloni verimini doğrudan etkilemektedir.
Ayrıca erkek arıların üretim sezonunun ana arılara oranla daha kısa olasına
bağlı olarak , ana arı yetiştiriciliği için sınırlayıcı faktör erkek arı
varlığıdır. Çiftleşme mevsiminde yeteri kadar ve kaliteli erkek sağlanamaması
sperm depolamada olumsuzluklara neden olacak, ana arının yaşam süresini kısalacak
ve koloni verimliliği düşecektir. Bu nedenle istenilen özelliklere sahip güçlü
erkek arı yetiştirme kolonilerinin oluşturulması ve bu kolonilerin ön görülen
dönemlerde beslenmeleri gibi konuları da içeren erkek arı yetiştirme
programları geliştirilmelidir.

Abstract
Several features, such as difficult to control mating behavior and the storage of sperms in spermatheca, distinguish the honey bee colonies from other livestock. Within their strong social structure, basically, there thousands of worker bees, hundreds of drones depending on the season, and one single queen bee regarded as the parent of the colony. Since the queen bee is the only individual that can normally lay eggs in the colony, studies on queen breeding are becoming increasingly significant. However, at the same time, the significance and breeding of drones are ignored. In fact, the characteristics of the drones that mate with the queen directly affect the colony productivity. Furthermore, due to the fact that drones have a limited breeding season when compared to the queen bees, the limiting factor in beekeeping is the presence of drones. The lack of adequate number of quality drones in the mating season results in low seminal stock, shortens the life span of the queen bee and reduces the colony. Thus, drone breeding programs should be developed, which include the establishment of strong drone breeding colonies with the desired characteristics and feeding of these colonies during the predetermined periods.
