Abstract
Bu çalıma depolama döneminde stok petekleri tahrip ederek arıcılık sektöründe önemli ekonomik kayıplara neden olan büyük mum güvesi (Galleria mellonella L.) tahribatının soğuk uygulaması ile kontrolünde -5°C koşulunun kullanılmasını denemek amacıyla yürütülmütür. Çalışmada bal mumu güvesi yumurtası ve larvası ile bulaşık toplam iki yüz adet petek kullanılmış olup, çalışma Niğde ilinde Ekim ve şubat ayları arasında yürütülmütür. Çalışmada kullanılan petekler kış bakımı nedeniyle koloniden alınıp depolanacak olan petekler arasından rastgele seçilmi ve mum güvesi ile bulaık hale gelmesi için açık alanda kovanlar içerisinde on beş gün süreyle bekletilmitir. Bu süre sonunda yapılan kontrolde mum güvesi yumurtası ve larvası ile bulaşık 200 petek seçilmitir. Bu peteklerden yüz tanesi soğuk uygulamasına tabi tutulmuş, diğer yüz tanesi ise kontrol olarak kullanılmıtır. Soğuk uygulaması, petekler koyuldukları kovanlarla birlikte -5°C’ye ayarlanmı soğutucularda 10 gün süreyle bekletilerek yapılmıtır. Soğuk uygulamasına tabi tutulan yüz adet petek ve hiç bir uygulamaya tabi tutulmayan (kontrol grubu) yüz adet petekte mum güvesi tahribatı sırasıyla %11 ve %62 olmuştur. Soğuk uygulaması yapılan grup ortalaması ile kontrol grubu ortalaması arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur (P<0.01). Ekim ayında soğuk uygulamasına tabi tutulan toplam yüz adet petekten seksen dokuz adedinin şubat ayında tekrar kullanılabilecek durumda olduğu, on bir tanesinin ise mum güvesi larvaları tarafından tahribata uğratıldığı belirlenmitir. Bu çalışma arıcıların önemli ekonomik kayıplarına neden olan büyük bal mumu güvesinin kontrolünde alternatif bir yöntem olarak kullanıldığı bilinen soğuk uygulaması için -5°C koşulunun da uygun olduğunu göstermiştir.
There are many pests and parasites that can affect the honey bee life and productivity. In Turkey the greater wax-moth Galleria mellonella is known as an important parasite that affect the honey bee colony productivity. It affects the colony productivity through damage to the stored honey combs and wax. Although the moths cannot cause damage in strong and healthy colonies, they can be dangerous in weak and unhealthy colonies. While adult and pupae of Galleria mellonella do not damage the combs, larvae can severely damage the combs stored in dark, warm and poorly ventilated areas. Physical, chemical, biological and cultural methods have been used in control of the greater wax-moth Galleria mellonella damage. Some of these methods have low efficacy, others are not easy to use, unsafe or expensive. Because of these reasons the beekeepers are unwilling to use many of these methods. Beekeeping sector needs a highly efficient, economic, safe, and easy method to control this pest. this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of one practical version of cold treatment method on reducing or stopping Galleria mellonella damage between October and February months in Nigde province of Turkey. Combs were taken from honey bee colonies and put in empty hives. They were put in an open area for fifteen days to allow contamination by Galleria mellonella moths. After this period all combs were checked and 200 empty combs that were contaminated with the greater wax-moth Galleria mellonella were chosen and divided into two groups randomly. First group of combs were placed in a cold room (-5 o c) and kept for 10 days. After this time cold treatment group and control group were placed in the same room and kept for about 4 months. We determined the wax- moth damage in 11 % and 62 % of the combs in the cold treatment group and control group, respectively. The difference was statistically significant across the cold treatment group and the control group for greater wax-moth Galleria mellonella damage on combs (p<0.01). This study demonstrates a practical application of cold treatment method to control wax-moth damage to stored combs.
