Propagating Trigona iridipennis Colonies (Apidae: Meliponini) By Eduction Method
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Meliponiculture is an activity that can contribute to the regeneration of the natural forest vegetation and to an increase in agricultural production through pollination services by the stingless bees. Stingless bee colonies were captured from wall or tree cavities in traditional way and survival rate of the captured colonies was less. Natural colony duplication method is an alternate method for splitting method for propagating stingless bees. The purpose of the study to extracting a new hive from a parent colony located in an immovable object. The eduction method is succeeded based on the part of time and patience, because it takes few months or even the time of the year. Keywords: Meliponiculture, colony duplication, eduction, propagation
