  • Honey Bees As Pollinators – a Topic of Postage Stamp Collections
    HONEY BEES AS POLLINATORS – A TOPIC OF POSTAGE STAMP COLLECTIONS Prof Wit Chmielewski Apiculture Division, Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture, P O Box 4, Kazimierska 2, 24-100 Pulawy, Poland Tel: +48 81 8864208, Fax: +48 81 8864209, e-mail: [email protected] Honey bees (Apis L.) and beekeeping are very interesting and even fascinating thema of hundrieds of postage stamps of the world. A lot of them are related to pollination of agricultural and horticultural cultivars or plants living in wild nature (forests, meadows etc.). Majority of stamps issued in several countries show honey bees as visitors and pollinators of such economically important cultivated plants as rape (Brasica rapa), red clover (Trifolium pratense), sainfoin (Onobrychis sativa), sunflower (Helianthus annuus), apple- and other fruit-trees in orchards, strawberry (Fragaria grandifolia), phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia); forest- and park-trees (e.g. willows, Salix caprea; Robinia pseudoacacia, Tilia parvifolia) and undergrowth plants (heather – Calluna vulgaris; Epilobium angustifolium, Vaccinium), weeds, herbs (e.g. Lavandula vera, Salvia), various ornamental plants and other melliferous flora (Antigonon leptopus, Astragalus sinicus, Bidens pilosa, Cassia alata, Columnea, Iris, Poinsettia pulcherrima, Ranunculus). Observations of mode of life of bees show that they are friendly not only for natural biotopes but also for artificial plant communities. Their presence on plant cultivars during their florescence period is an obligatory condition of high fruit and seed crops. Stamps showing honey bees as pollinators collecting nectar and pollen were issued mainly in the following countries: Belgium (1997), Botsvana (1985), Bulgaria (1987), Camerun (1986), China (1993), Cuba (1971), Cyprus (1989), Dominicana, France (1979), Germany /incl.

Both are ectoparasites and are believed to be host-specific to the western honey bee, Apis melliferrr L. Due to the suspected pathogenicity of A. woodi, the vast majority of research concerning the genus Acarczpis both in Europe and in North America has been devoted to the tracheal mite.

Main honey producers countries (2004) Mexico is the 3rd Honey exporter in the world. Main honey exporters countries (1998) Destination of Mexican honey export The production of organic certified honey is of approximately 1,150 tons, equating to about 5% Organic honey is mainly produced in the southern states. In the cooperatives of southern Mexico Location of organic honey production The first cooperatives were certified in the 90’s in Oaxaca and Guerrero states In 2010 more than 448 organic beekeepers are managing more than 46,318 organic hives This beekeepers own from 20 to 100 hives, among other productive activities. Organic honey is produced during the dry season from October till May, in tropical and subtropical climates Generally polyfloral honey is harvested from tropical forests and shade grown coffee plantations An alternative for Coffee Growers The documentation of the beekeepers activities, as well as the accounting of the honey and wax can present some difficulties at the beginning; particularly because many of the indigenous beekeepers are illiterate.

It seems such a short time since we met in Daejong, South Korea. One thing that has happened and continues to be of major interest is that of the decline of our beloved honeybee, although we now have some countries stating that the losses are not as great as had been reported in the past. Is it possible that we are now seeing a change and that there is an increase in honeybee numbers? I have to say I’m not so sure that this is the case – on my travels I hear of extensive losses of bee families in many countries and it seems the jury is still out on what the major contributing factors are but varroa is probably top of the list followed by the over, or incorrect, use of certain chemicals but in particular the neonicotinoids.

    Apimondia Working for the benefit of bees and apiculture ISBN 978-88-941041-6-5 WORLDTESTATINA BEE DAY 3 PRESENTATION The genesis of this publication is somewhat peculiar as the idea of producing something for the benefit of bees and beekeeping had been simmering in Apimondia for quite some time without seeing the light at the end of the tunnel or a possible announced date of birth. Then a flash! What best opportunity to address these issues in conjunction with the first celebration of the World Bee Day! At that point and on the wings of the consensus of all the members of the Executive Council of Apimondia everything went very swiftly. This publication is a first and therefore still suffering from some inevitable teething problems, not last the fast timespan in which it saw its birth as it was concocted and assembled in a very short time to meet the deadline of 20 May, World Bee Day. The next editions will certainly be more polished and also have a bit more ambition in the messages that they purport to deliver. The scientific contributions in this publication are the expression, by all means not exhaustive of the entire spectrum of apicultural issues at stake, of the various and most important themes that revolve around the apicultural sector in different scientific domains as well as geographical regions. We only tried to put them nicely and conveniently all together in a single and hopefully useful publication. There is not one single way of practicing beekeeping round the world that fits all scenarios.
