Chemical hazards in propolis: evaluating the risks of pesticide and heavy metal contamination
(Işık University Press, 2025)Propolis is a complex biomaterial synthesized by honeybees (Apis mellifera) through the combination of plant resins, beeswax, and salivary gland enzymes. Historically employed for wound healing, infection prevention, and ... -
Electrophysiological methods in insect olfaction: a review of EAG, GC-EAG, SSR and GC-SSR approaches
(Işık University Press, 2025)Background: Insects rely on olfaction as a key sensory modality regulating reproduction, foraging, host location, and defense. Antennae function as highly sensitive chemosensory organs capable of detecting volatile organic ... -
Smart queen bee tracking system: QR code–based digital traceability application in queen production
(Işık University Press, 2025)In this study, a QR code–based digital monitoring system was developed to address the limitations of manual record-keeping in queen bee production. The implementation took place at the Apiculture Research Center of the ... -
Digital twin approaches for honey bee colony health: opportunities, challenges, and future directions
(Işık University Press, 2025)Honey bee colonies face increasing threats from parasites, pathogens, pesticides, and cli-mate change, resulting in substantial global losses. Digital Twin (DT) technology, which is widely adopted in manufacturing and ... -
NDVI–honey production paradox: a satellite-based assessment of Turkish beekeeping regions (2013–2024)
(Işık University Press, 2025)This study investigates the relationship between satellite-derived vegetation indices and agricultural productivity using 12 years (2013-2024) of Sentinel-2 imagery and Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) honey production ... -
The samurai wasp (Trissolcus japonicus): a biological control agent against the brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)
(Işık University Press, 2025)The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys Stål, 1855) has emerged in recent years as one of the most important invasive agricultural pests worldwide, causing signif-icant economic losses particularly in fruit, ... -
Towards sustainable apiculture: GIS- and AI-assisted moni-toring of honey bees and floral resource networks
(Işık University Press, 2025)Monitoring the foraging movements of free-living honey bees (Apis spp.), colony dynam-ics, and floral preferences at real-time and spatial scales holds great potential for sustain-able apiculture and the creation of floral ... -
Beekeeping enterprises in Türkiye (2013–2024): national trends, regional clusters, and inequality analysis
(Işık University Press, 2025)This study examines the temporal and spatial distribution of beekeeping enterprises in Türkiye between 2013 and 2024. Using annual province-based data from the Turkish Sta-tistical Institute (TUIK), trends in the number ... -
Bee intelligent: AI-driven approaches to hive and colony management
(Işık University Press, 2025)Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital for farming and nature, but they face major threats from parasites, diseases, pesticides, and climate change, leading to significant colony losses. Manual hive checks are time-consuming, ... -
A current research on beekeeping optimization problem
(Işık University Press, 2025)Beekeeping plays a vital role in agricultural productivity and ecological sustainability, with both stationary and migratory practices presenting unique operational challenges. Stationary beekeeping often suffers from hive ... -
The regional impacts of climate change on honey production in Türkiye
(Işık University Press, 2025)The impact of climate change on the agricultural sector and crop yields is a significant re-search topic today. This study investigated the impact of precipitation and temperature changes on honey production in Türkiye ... -
The impact of forest fires on honey production: a prov-ince-level annual analysis using MODIS and Hansen data
(Işık University Press, 2025)This study investigates the impact of forest fires on honey production. Forest fires were identified using MODIS MCD64A1 burned area data and Hansen Tree Cover data. Annu-al fire indicators for these fires were generated. ...
