This study was carried out to determine the honey, pollen and propolis amounts and honey qualities obtained from the bee pasture established in Bingöl University between the years 2021-2022 and highland and to compare the bee pasture and the highland in terms of these characteristics. 10 beehives were used in the study. Five beehives were left in the bee pasture, and 5 of them were taken to the highland for comparison. The quantities of honey, pollen, and propolis per hive and the moisture, diastase, HMF, commercial glucose, C13 sugar, C4 sugar, and the difference between raw protein in honey and delta C13 sugar of honeys were determined for both locations. These quality parameters obtained were evaluated according to the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué. As a result of the research, it was determined that there was no statistical difference between the amounts of pollen and propolis obtained from the bee pasture and the highland, and the amount of honey obtained from the highland was higher than the bee pasture. In addition, it has been determined that the honey obtained from both bee pasture and highland is at the "appropriate" level in terms of the limit values determined by the Turkish Food Codex Honey Communiqué in terms of quality criteria. In the light of these data, it has been understood that although the honey yield from bee pasture is low, it is sustainable and can be an alternative to migratory or highland beekeeping.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in some plant properties of buckwheat that are important for beekeeping, according to different sowing times and counting times. Güneş variety of buckwheat was used as plant material, and the study was established in the ecological conditions of Bingöl province between 2021 and 2022. Four sowing times were chosen as the study subject and the effects of these sowing times on some important plant characteristics of buckwheat in terms of beekeeping were examined with observations and examinations taken on different days. It was observed that there were statistically significant differences between sowing times in terms of plant height, number of inflorescences per plant, number of plants per square meter, number of inflorescences per square meter, seed yield and thousand-seed weight. It was determined that the first and second sowing times gave the highest values in terms of plant height, number of inflorescences per plant and thousand grain weight, and only the first sowing time in terms of plant and inflorescences numbers per square meter and seed yield. As a result, it was concluded that buckwheat sowing as early as possible (second half of April) would be advantageous for the producers in terms of both beekeeping and seed production in Bingöl province and similar ecological conditions.

The aim of the research is to determine the macro (Ca, Mg, P and K), micro (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn and Be) element and heavy metal (Al, Cr, Ni, Se and Cd) contents of some Astragalus taxa collected from nature. Nine Astragalus taxa (Astragalus gummifer, A. compactus, A. lineatus var. longidens, A. aureus, A. onobrychis, A. declinatus, A. lineatus var. lineatus, A. oocephalus subsp. stachyophorus, A. inereus) collected from the natural areas of Bingöl province were used as the plant material of the research. Astragalus taxa were collected from the central villages of Bingöl province in June 2018, during the flowering period of the plants. Macro, micro element and heavy metal contents of the collected and dried plant samples were determined with the help of NIRS (Near Infrared Spectroscopy) and ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Mass Spectometry) devices. As a result of the analysis, the average Ca content of Astragalus taxa was determined as % 1.63, Mg content % 0.36, P content % 0.27, K content % 1.49, Fe content 2436 mg kg-1, Mn content 153.7 mg kg-1, Cu content 84.5 mg kg-1, Zn content 14.08 mg kg-1, Be content 0.10 mg kg-1, Al content 2535 mg kg-1, Cr content 7.67 mg kg-1, Ni content 9.99 mg kg-1 and Se content 2.19 mg kg-1. In general, the highest Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Al, Cr and Ni contents were determined in A. declinatus, the highest P and K contents were determined in A. oocephalus subsp. stachyophorus, the highest Cu content was determined in A. cinearus, the highest Zn content was determined in A. lineatus var. longidens, the highest content Be was determined in A. gummifer and the highest Se content was determined in A. compactus. Cd content could not be detected in any Astragalus taxa. As a result of the study, it was concluded that Astragalus taxa, which are abundant in the natural flora of our country, can be used as a source of roughage in animal nutrition and can meet the macro and micro element needs of animals.

In this study, the effects of different sowing norms of Forage Rape on some yield characteristics, the mutual interactions between honey bees and the evaluation of forage rape as an alternative plant in the creation of bee pastures were carried out. Sowing norms of 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 g/da were used in the study. Data was taken twice a week. The flowering of the plant and the number of honeybees per m2, the duration of the honeybee in bloom, the plant height, the number of plants per m2, the number of flowers per plant, the number of flowers per m2, the number of side branches, capsule per plant, seed in capsule, seed properties such as yield and thousand grain weight were discussed. This research observed that, 1200-1600 g/da sowing norm produces the highest yield. April 26th was observed as the date when bees visited the Forage Rape the most, reached the highest height of the plant, and had the most flowers per plant and per m2. It has been concluded that Forage Rape is an ideal bee pasture plant for the solving nectar and pollen deficiency in beekeeping, especially in early spring periods in terms of beekeeping activity. It is recommended that this plant should be further evaluated for beekeeping on dates prior to April 26th in Bingöl and regions with similar ecological conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research was carried out to determine the physical and physiological characteristics of the seeds of the forage pea (Pisum sativum ssp. arvense L.) genotypes, and to compare the genotypes in terms of these characteristics in the laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture of Bingöl University in 2019-2020. As a material, seeds belonging to Creakerjack, Kristal, Özkaynak, Servet, Taşkent, and TTAE-YB2010 genotypes of forage peas were used.

This study was carried out during the growing season of 2015-2016 in order to determine the effect of different sowing times on the yield and quality of some wheat, barley and triticale varieties grown in Bingöl ecological conditions. In the research; 1 triticale (Umranhanim), 1 two row barley (Sahin-91), 1 six row barley (Altikat), 1 bread wheat (Pehlivan) and 1 durum wheat (Firat-93) cultivars were used as plant material. The research was established as a randomized complete block design with four replications. In the study; plant height, green herbage yield, dry herbage yield, crude protein, crude protein yield, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), digestible dry matter (DDM), dry matter intake (DMI) and relative feed value (RFV) characteristics were investigated. On average in the results of research; plant height, green herbage yield, dry herbage yield, crude protein, crude protein yield, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), digestible dry matter (DDM), dry matter intake (DMI) and relative feed value (RFV) were ranged from 71.5 to 86.0 cm, 1854.7 to 3140.6 kg da-1, 520.4 to 767.1 kg da-1, 11.2 to 12.5%, 65.4 to 92.4 kg da-1, 32.2 to 34.6%, 56.1 to 61.2%, 62.0 to 63.8%, 1.96 to 2.14% and 95.5 to 103.3 respectively. From the perspective of the quality characteristics examined, it was seen that the cereals gave close results and the triticales appeared to be in the foreground in terms of yield characteristics. In generally, the highest values were obtained from early sowing dates. Therefore, it was concluded that the best optimum sowing time in Bingöl could be 1-15 October for herbage yields at cereal species. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
