Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The familiar European hive bee, Apis mellifera, has long dominated honey bee research. But in the last 15 years, teams in China, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand began to shift focus to the indigenous Asian honey bees. Benjamin Oldroyd, well known for his work on the genetics and evolution of worker sterility, has teamed with Siriwat Wongsiri, a pioneer of the study of bees in Thailand, to provide a comparative work synthesizing the rapidly expanding Asian honey bee literature. After introducing the species, the authors review evolution and speciation, division of labor, communication, and nest defense. They underscore the pressures colonies face from pathogens, parasites, and predators--including man--and detail the long and amazing history of the honey hunt. This book provides a cornerstone for future investigations on these species, insights into the evolution across species, and a direction for conservation efforts to protect these keystone species of Asia's tropical forests.

Download or read book Studies on pollination potentiality of Indian honeybee (Apis cerana Fab.) on Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke and Ocimum gratissimum L. written by Sanganna M. Sajjanar and published by Amazon Publishers, USA. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficacy of .Indian honeybee (Apis cerana Fab.) in cross pollination of Ocimum kilimandscharicum Guerke and O. gratissimum L. was studied during summer of 2002 at Regional Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, GKVK Campus, Bangalore. Activity of different insect pollinators including honeybee species and Pollination influence of Indian honeybee on percent filled and unfilled seeds, seeds per fruit, seeds per inflorescence, test weight and inflorescence oil yield was studied. The quantity and quality of nectar from Ocimum flowers was also estimated to know its impact on foraging activity.At flowering, O. kilimandscharicum and O. gratissimum was visited by totally 20 insect species of which 18 belonged to the order Hymenoptera and two belonged to the order Diptera. Among the honeybee species in open condition, the activity of A. cerana was found highest (14.47 bees/plant/5min) compared to other bee species viz., A. florea, A. dorsata, T. iridipennis which showed an activity of 7.92, 7.48 and 3.46 bees/plant/5min on O. kilimandscharicum. Similarly, on O. gratissimum the activity of A. florea was highest (20.32 bees/plant/5min) compared to T. iridipennis, A. cerana, A. dorsata, which showed an activity of 8.93, 4.94 and 1.26 bees/plant/5min., respectively.In open condition, the peak pollen foraging activity of different species of honeybees was found between 1100- 1300 hr whereas, peak nectar foraging activity was found between 1000-1300 hr of the day in the course of study period on O. kilimandscharicum. Similarly, on O. gratissimum, the peak pollen foraging activity was found between 1000¬1100 hr and the nectar foraging activity was found between 1000-1400 hr of the day during the study period. Inside the cage, the peak pollen foraging activity of A. cerana was found at 1100 and 1000 hr and nectar foraging activity at 1000 hr on O. kilimandscharicum and O. gratissimum respectively.The pollen load carried by A. dorsata (20.28 and 19.18 mg) on O. kilimandscharicum and O. gratissimum was found to be significantly higher over other bees and the least pollen load was found in T. iridipennis (2.02 and 1.78 mg), respectively.The quantity and sugar concentration of the nectar was found higher in O. kilimandscharicum flowers (1.97 µl: 49.25%) than O. gratissimum (0.88 23.04%). The quantity and sugar concentration of the nectar was found to increase with the advancement of time up to 1400 hr, thereafter the sugar concentration of nectar decreased in both crops.The time spent by different species of honeybees in collection of pollen was found maximum between 0900-1000 hr. Among honeybees, in O. kilimandscharicum maximum mean time spent was recorded with T. iridipennis (18.4 sec/flower) followed by A. florea (13.8 sec/flower), A. cerana (10.0 sec/flower) and the least with A. dorsata (9.2 sec/flower). Similarly, on O. gratissimum, maximum time spent by different species of honeybees for pollen collection was recorded between 0900-1000 hr. Among the honeybees, maximum time spent was recorded with T. iridipennis (25.5 sec/flower) followed by A. florea (10.0 sec/flower), A. cerana (7.8 sec/flower) and the least with A. dorsata (6.5 sec/flower).In both the crops, significantly maximum percent filled seeds and test weight was found in open pollinated plots and lowest was found in control plots. The seed per fruit in open pollinated plots was on par with A. cerana pollinated plots. Whereas, seeds per fruit was significantly lower in control plots compared to open and A. cerana pollinated plots. Oil content and seeds per inflorescence in the open pollinated plots was on par with A. cerana pollinated plots. Whereas, in control plot, it was significantly lower compared to open and A. cerana pollinated plots.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its economic usefulness, biodiversity of Asian hive bee Apis cerana is suffering precipitous decline and is threatened with extinction in its entire native habitat. Although a number of publications have appeared on honeybees in the market no attempt has been made to approach the subject in systematically and in a comprehensive manner in case of Apis cerana. There is still not enough knowledge on different facets of biological conservation, agricultural production and role in improving food security and livelihoods. An attempt has been made in this book to fill the gap by providing detailed information on different aspects of Apis cerana leading to sustainability and environmental protection. This book discusses information on varied aspects of Apis cerana biology, biogeography, reproduction, genetics, molecular phylogeny, interaction with other species, floral resources, dance language, safety from pesticides, management problems, loss of genetic diversity, behavioural defence, role in food production, livelihood security and conservation strategies for protecting biodiversity and enhancing crop productivity. The compilation of this book is unique in the sense that in the context of pollinator decline over the world, conservation of this species will be a step for sustaining food security.

This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honeybees are as small as flies or as large as hornets, nesting in nar row cavities of trees and rocks or in the open on large limbs of trees 30 m above ground. They occur in tropical zones and in the forests of the Ural mountains, they survive seven months of winter and even longer periods of drought and heat. Historically, they lived through a extended time of stagnation in the tropics from the mid-Tertiary, but then experienced an explosive evolution during the Pleistocene, re sulting in the conquest of huge new territories and the origin of two dozen subspecies in Apis mellifera. This vast geographic and ecologic diversification of the genus Apis was accompanied by a rich morphological variation, less on the level of species than at the lowest rank, the subspecies level. Variation being exclusively of a quantitative kind at this first step of speciation, tradi tional descriptive methods of systematics proved to be unsatisfactory, and honeybee taxonomy finally ended up in a confusing multitude of inadequately described units. Effective methods of morphometric-sta tistical analysis of honeybee popUlations, centered on limited areas, have been developed during the last decades. Only the numerical characterization of the populations, together with the description of behavior, shows the true geographic variability and will end current generalizations and convenient stereotypes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the perspective of local scientists, this book provides insight into bees and bee management of Asia, with a special focus on honey bees. Asia is home to at least nine honey bee species, including the introduced European honey bee, Apis mellifera. Although A. mellifera and the native Asian honey bee, Apis cerana, are the most commonly employed species for commercial beekeeping, the remaining non-managed native honey bee species have important ecological and economic roles on the continent. Species distributions of most honey bee species overlap in Southeast Asia, thus promoting the potential for interspecies transmission of pests and parasites, as well as their spread to other parts of the world by human translocation. Losses of managed A. mellifera colonies is of great concern around the world, including in Asia. Such global colony losses are believed to be caused, in part, by pests and parasites originating from Asia such as the mite Varroa destructor, the microsporidian Nosema ceranae, and several bee viruses. Taking advantage of the experience of leading regional bee researchers, this book provides insight into the current situation of bees and bee management in Asia. Recent introductions of honey bee parasites of Asian origin to other parts of the world ensures that the contents of this book are broadly relevant to bee scientists, researchers, government offi cials, and the general public around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeley, a world authority on honey bees, sheds light on why wild honey bees are still thriving while those living in managed colonies are in crisis. Drawing on the latest science as well as insights from his own pioneering fieldwork, he describes in extraordinary detail how honey bees live in nature and shows how this differs significantly from their lives under the management of beekeepers. Seeley presents an entirely new approach to beekeeping--Darwinian Beekeeping--which enables honey bees to use the toolkit of survival skills their species has acquired over the past thirty million years, and to evolve solutions to the new challenges they face today. He shows beekeepers how to use the principles of natural selection to guide their practices, and he offers a new vision of how beekeeping can better align with the natural habits of honey bees.

Download or read book African Edible Insects As Alternative Source of Food, Oil, Protein and Bioactive Components written by Abdalbasit Adam Mariod and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The harvesting, processing and consumption of edible insects is one of the main keys to the sustainability of food chains on the African continent. Insects are the largest and most successful group of animals on the planet and it is estimated that they comprise 80% of all animals. This makes edible insects extremely important to the future survival of large populations across Africa and the world. Insects offer a complete animal protein that includes all 9 essential amino acids and are very competitive with other protein sources. They are also a good source of beneficial unsaturated fats, and many insects have a perfect Omega 3:6 balance. African Edible Insects As Alternative Source of Food, Oil, Protein and Bioactive Components comprehensively outlines the importance of edible insects as food and animal feed and the processing of insects in Africa. The text also highlights indigenous knowledge of edible insects and shows the composition and nutritional value of these insects, plus presents reviews of current research and developments in this rapidly expanding field. All of the main types of edible insects are covered, including their nutritional value, chemical makeup, and harvesting and processing details. The various preparation technologies are covered for each insect, as are their individual sensory qualities and safety aspects. A key aspect of this work is its focus on the role of insects in edible oils and gelatins. Individual chapters focus on entomophagy in Africa and the various key aspects of the continent's growing edible insect consumption market. As it becomes increasingly clear that the consumption of insects will play a major role in the sustainability of food chains in Africa, this work can be used as a comprehensive and up-to-date singular source for researchers looking for a complete overview on this crucial topic.
