Özet:

 


Animal health is an important factor that
may limit efficiency in beekeeping, as in other fields yielding animal
products. After all, the diseases, parasites, and pests that pose a risk for
honey bees do not only affect their health, but can decrease productivity, as
well. The colony may collapse eventually unless measures are taken to improve
the situation. Occasional epidemics of diseases, parasites, and pests cause
producers to suffer great losses and harm beekeeping on a national scale in
Turkey. 


As with all living organisms, honey bees
have a strong multicomponent defense (resistance, immunity) mechanism against
diseases, parasites, and pests that threaten their health. However, various
stress factors from those rooted in their genetic makeup to others resulting
from the environment collapse their defense system and with the decline of
bodily resistance, honey bees start getting ill and eventually die. Moreover,
these stress factors or stressors interact with one another, with pathogenic
microorganisms, parasites, and pests to create a synergic effect leading to exhaustion
in bees, their offspring, and whole colonies. Therefore,
it is critically important to eliminate stress factors that impair and collapse
the defense system in honey bees.
