SUMMARY:Jean Miller | Bees & Beekeeping in Thailand - "Giants\, Dwarfs and Some Like Ours: Honey Bee Diversity”
DESCRIPTION: The world’s distribution of honey bee species is discussed highlighting Thailand as a hotspot of diversity  where four native and one non-native species live. (Apis dorsata\, A. florea\, A. andreniformis\, A. cerana\, A.mellifera)\n The three branches of honey bees is defined – Cavity Nesters\, Giants\, and Dwarfs\n Size comparisons\, behavior characteristics\, and honey production of the various species is presented.\n “Shimmering” video by the Giants\, Apis dosata. Looks like honey bees doing “The Wave”. Very cool!\n How honey hunters obtain honey from feral hives.\n How two species are managed (A. cerana and A. mellifera).\n “Bee trees” – Where several open nesters (A. dorsata) create their colonies on one tree.\n A brief introduction to stingless honey bees (Trigona species)\n A little about Tropilaelaps clareae – Potential threat on the horizon?\n Mites and viruses that affect Thai honey bee species.\n General information about Thai beekeepers and how they manage (or hunt) honey bees\, as well as sell hive products.\n Land Leeches!
