Özet:

 This study investigates pesticide, antibiotic, and heavy metal levels in Bayburt and the Upper Çoruh Valley honey. Thirteen honey samples were collected from different apiaries managed by stationary and migratory beekeepers. These samples were analysed for heavy metals Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, antibiotics, pesticides, and chemical residues such as naphthalene. The results revealed that lead Pb levels exceeded international food safety standards in 2 honey samples, while pesticide residues were detected in 5 samples. Additionally, antibiotic residues were found in 6 samples, including sulfamethazine, tetracycline, and streptomycin. However, no naphthalene was detected in any of the samples. These findings highlight the importance of stricter regulations and monitoring systems to control chemical use in beekeeping practices. Enhancing awareness among beekeepers regarding the risks associated with pesticide and antibiotic use is crucial for improving honey quality and ensuring the health of beekeepers and consumers. The adoption of safer practices and adherence to guidelines are necessary to mitigate these health hazards.

 Bu çalışma, Bayburt ve Yukarı Çoruh Vadisinde üretilen ballarda pestisit, antibiyotik ve ağır metal seviyelerini araştırmaktadır. Sabit ve gezgin arıcıların işlettiği 13 farklı arılıktan toplanan bal örneklerinde ağır metaller Fe, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, antibiyotikler, pestisitler ve naftalin gibi kimyasal kalıntılar analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, 2 bal örneğinde kurşun Pb seviyeleri uluslararası gıda güvenliği standartlarının üzerinde bulunmuş, 5 örnekte ise pestisit kalıntısına rastlanmıştır. Ayrıca, 6 bal örneğinde sulfamethazin, tetracycline ve streptomycin gibi antibiyotik kalıntıları tespit edilmiştir; ancak hiçbir örnekte naftalin kalıntısına rastlanmamıştır. Bu bulgular, arıcılık faaliyetlerinde kimyasal kullanımının kontrol edilmesi ve sıkı denetimlerin uygulanmasının önemini vurgulamaktadır. Arıcıların pestisit ve antibiyotik kullanımı konusunda bilinçlendirilmesi, bal kalitesinin artırılması ve tüketici sağlığının korunması için kritik öneme sahiptir. Güvenli uygulamaların teşvik edilmesi ve standartlara uygunluk, bu risklerin azaltılmasına katkı sağlayacaktır.
