  • Traditional Honey Production and Bee Flora of Espiye, Turkey Mustafa
    Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 25(1): 79-91, 2018 (June) © 2018 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists TRADITIONAL HONEY PRODUCTION AND BEE FLORA OF ESPIYE, TURKEY 1 2 3 MUSTAFA KARAKÖSE, RIDVAN POLAT , M. OLIUR RAHMAN AND UĞUR ÇAKILCIOĞLU Giresun University, Espiye Vocational School, Giresun, Turkey Keywords: Bee flora; Honeybee; Espiye; Turkey. Abstract This paper presents potential honey bee plants in Espiye (Giresun) which can be considered as a guide for beekeepers and researchers. A total of 149 taxa belonging to 125 genara and 48 families were recorded as pollen and nectary sources for honey bee colonies at Espiye (Giresun) region. Among the recorded taxa 58 were Phanerophytes, 57 taxa Hemicryptophytes, 19 taxa Therophytes, 13 taxa Cryptophytes and 2 taxa Chamaephytes. Updated nomenclature along with the families, local names, life form, flowering period and ecological status have been furnished under 94 herbs, 28 shrubs and 27 trees. Introduction Turkey is one of the countries where the honey production is at the highest level in the World (Özturk and Erkan, 2010). In the recent past, the forest area in Turkey has increased from 20.2 million/ ha to 22.3 million/ha between 1973 and 2015 (OGM, 2013-2015). Very recently, the Forest General Directorate has started to implementing the honey action plan to promote honey production and contribute to rural development (OGM, 2013-2015). As part of the action plan, up to 356 honey forests have been established and now, Turkey is in the second row in the world’s honey production and beekeeping.Turkey produces 92% of the world’s pine honey, specifically in its West Mediterranean and South Aegean regions.

İnsanoğlu yüzyıllar boyunca doğayı sınırsız bir kaynak olarak görmüş, onu hor kullanmış, kirletmiş ve çevre sorunlarının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Bir tarafta hızla artan nüfus olgusu diğer tarafta ise tükenmekte olan doğal kaynakların varlığı insanlık için yeni çözüm arayışlarını zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu çerçevede ortaya koyulan çözüm, doğal kaynakların tamamen tüketilmeden, gelecek nesillere de aktarılmasının sağlanması olarak özetlenebilecek olan sürdürülebilir kalkınma anlayışıdır. Bu anlayış, özünde insana önem veren, mevcut nüfusun ekonomik ve toplumsal ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması için gerekli çaba sırasında gelecek kuşakların da ihtiyaçlarını gözeterek doğal ve kültürel kaynakların özenli bir biçimde tüketilmesini öngören sürdürülebilir kalkınma kavramını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Doğal kaynakların sınırlı olduğu ve tükenebileceği gerçeği karşısında çevrenin korunması ve bu durumun süreklilik arz etmesi kaçınılmaz olmaktadır. Bu veriler ışığında çevrenin korunması için geleceğe ilişkin planlar oluşturulmalı ve bu planlar çerçevesinde gerekli önlemler alınmalıdır.

Giresun University, Alucra Turan Bulutçu Vocational School, Giresun 28700, Turkey 2. Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Biology, Trabzon 61080, Turkey Abstract: 20 localities were randomly selected in Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey and samples were collected from around the beehives from April to September. Total of 4,640 dead adult worker bees were examined during the study. Total infection rate in worker bees was 21.23%. Nosema ceranae was identified in all localities with molecular techniques. Temperature and humidity values were measured from around the beehives during field studies. The infection rate of N. ceranae increased proportionally with increasing temperature and humidity factors. Humidity was more effective than temperature on the infection rate of N. ceranae. The seasonal activity of N. ceranae was studied. The highest infection rates were observed in June and July. N. ceranae infection rate was higher in localities that were in low-altitude than in localities that were in high-altitude. Key words: Temperature, humidity, geographical distribution, Nosema ceranae, Apis mellifera, Turkey. 1. Introduction approximately 50% in terms of honey production in Turkey [2, 3].

By 1968, when a volume containing all the changes was published by the Interior Ministry, roughly thirty percent of settlement names in Turkey had been changed. Renaming continued sporadically until the 1990s. This thesis inquires into these attempts at name change in Turkey with a focus on how people responded to the changes in their everyday lives. The value of place names as formulated in human and cultural geography is explored in order to determine why people may have rejected or accepted the state imposed names. Place name change, rather than being approached solely as a nation-building project motivated by Turkification, is also considered as being a technique of governmentality.

Developing winter tourism also affects losses. For 11 example, an avalanche occurred in Torul, Köstere, in the province of Giresun, on January 25, 2009, 12 which killed 10 mountaineers and injured 7 people. 13 14 This research is focused on, known fatal avalanches and avalanche mitigation works. The obtanied 15 map provides are reliable and easy to understand information where avalanches contstitue 16 risksy sitation in regional scale as well as where new avalanche paths may develop under 17 favourable conditions. Moreover the figure of avalanche hazard situation is presented to construct a 18 picture of the potential threats.

  • Araneae (Spider) Photos
    Araneae (Spider) Photos Araneae (Spiders) About Information on: Spider Photos of Links to WWW Spiders Spiders of North America Relationships Spider Groups Spider Resources -- An Identification Manual About Spiders As in the other arachnid orders, appendage specialization is very important in the evolution of spiders. In spiders the five pairs of appendages of the prosoma (one of the two main body sections) that follow the chelicerae are the pedipalps followed by four pairs of walking legs. The pedipalps are modified to serve as mating organs by mature male spiders. These modifications are often very complicated and differences in their structure are important characteristics used by araneologists in the classification of spiders. Pedipalps in female spiders are structurally much simpler and are used for sensing, manipulating food and sometimes in locomotion. It is relatively easy to tell mature or nearly mature males from female spiders (at least in most groups) by looking at the pedipalps -- in females they look like functional but small legs while in males the ends tend to be enlarged, often greatly so. In young spiders these differences are not evident. There are also appendages on the opisthosoma (the rear body section, the one with no walking legs) the best known being the spinnerets. In the first spiders there were four pairs of spinnerets. Living spiders may have four e.g., (liphistiomorph spiders) or three pairs (e.g., mygalomorph and ecribellate araneomorphs) or three paris of spinnerets and a silk spinning plate called a cribellum (the earliest and many extant araneomorph spiders). Spinnerets' history as appendages is suggested in part by their being projections away from the opisthosoma and the fact that they may retain muscles for movement Much of the success of spiders traces directly to their extensive use of silk and poison.

In Turkey, an average of 24 people die in snow one-fourth of the total land surface on earth and are home avalanches every year, mainly in the eastern part of Anato- to about 1/10 of all human beings (Ives et al., 1997; Price lia and in the eastern Black Sea region, where high-mountain and Butt, 2000). Seventy-eight percent of Turkey’s land sur- ranges are close to the sea. The proportion of people killed face consists of mountains, with 33.4 million people (about in buildings is very high (87 %), especially in comparison to 47 % of the country’s total population) living in these regions other European countries and North America.
