Three haplotypes were identified among 470 colonies samples at 47 Japanese sites. All isolates from the main Japanese Islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu belonged to a single haplotype, a previously reported Japan 1 haplotype. Two new haplotypes were found on the far southern Japanese islands of Amami-Oshima and Tsushima (the Japan 3 and Japan 4 haplotypes, respectively).

Since the 1980s, A. cerana has been introduced to areas outside its natural range (namely New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Australia), which sparked fears that it may become a pest species that could compete with, and negatively affect, native Australian fauna and flora, as well as commercially kept A. mellifera and commercial crops. This literature review is a response to these concerns and reviews what is known about the ecology and behaviour of A. cerana. Differences between temperate and tropical strains of A. cerana are reviewed, as are A. cerana pollination, competition between A. cerana and A. mellifera, and the impact and control strategies of introduced A. cerana, with a particular focus on gaps of current knowledge.

  • 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.

ABSTRACT Predatory hornets are considered as one of the major constraints to beekeeping industry. Therefore, its incidence and predation rate was studied throughout the year at two locations rural and forest areas of mid-hill in Laliptur district during 2016/017 to 2017/018. Observation was made on the number of hornet and honeybee captured by hornet in three different times of the day for three continuous minutes every fortnightly on five honeybee colonies. During the study period, major hornet species captured around the honeybee apiary at both locations were, Vespa velutina Lepeletier, Vespa basalis Smith, Vespa tropica (Linnaeus) and Vespa mandarina Smith. The hornet incidence varied significantly between the years and locations along with different observation dates.

  • A Morphometric Analysis of Apis Cerana F and Apis Nigrocincta Smith Populations from Southeast Asia
    Original article A morphometric analysis of Apis cerana F and Apis nigrocincta Smith populations from Southeast Asia MS Damus GW Otis Environmental Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada (Received 15 August 1996; accepted 14 August 1997) Summary — Apis cerana F and Apis nigrocincta Smith, two species of Asian cavity nesting honey bees, were analyzed for interpopulation morphological variation using conventional morphometric techniques. The well-known honey bee subspecies Apis cerana cerana and A c japonica are confirmed as being distinct from the rest of A cerana, even though the analysis removed the confounding influ- ence of ’overall size’ from the data set. There are at least three other morphologically distinct groups: one ranging from Sri Lanka through to Flores and central Sulawesi, a second group so far only found in southern Sulawesi, and a group from Timor. A large phenetic shift has occurred in the second Sulawesi group, indicating that it may have evolved in isolation for a long period of time, or under- gone rapid divergence following a more recent bottleneck event. A nigrocincta is shown to be pre- sent over most of western Sulawesi, on Mindanao and on Sangihe, a small island between Min- danao and Sulawesi. The Mindanao and Sulawesi forms are distinct, but the small sample size did not allow for subspecific recognition. Bees from Luzon, previously identified as A c philippina, are shown to be very distinct from both A cerana and A nigrocincta, and the possibility of their belong- ing to the species A nigrocincta is discussed. Apis cerana / Apis nigrocincta / morphometrics / Southeast Asia / honey bees INTRODUCTION been well studied over most of their range, and have been assigned to many subspecies The honey bees of the world (Apidae: Apis (races or geographical variants) on the basis spp) are widespread over their native range of morphometric analyses.
