Topic: Apis florea

	Ch02
		Honeybees of the genus Apis belong to the family Apidae, a sub-group of this superfamily.
		florea consists of a single comb, whose upper part expands to form a crest that surrounds the branch or other object from which the comb is suspended.
		As in the other Apis species, honey is stored in the upper part of the combs, but also in the outer combs, adjacent to the hive walls.

		The cells are multifunctional, being used repeatedly for rearing the larvae and for the storage of honey and pollen.
		It is thought that Apis florea and Apis dorsata may have existed as separate species as early as the Oligocene period.
		Two dozen geographic races of the Western Honeybee, Apis mellifera, have been recognised, adapted to a range of environments from the cold Continental climate of Eastern Europe, through the moist temperate climate of the Atlantic seaboard, the warmth of the Mediterranean, and the heat of the tropics and semi-deserts.

	Curriculum vitae
		florea is known to be the most primitive and possibly closest to the ancestral honeybee from which the modern honeybees have evolved.
		florea, on their return to the dance floor on the upper part of the nest, were observed to press their thorax to the comb surface and produce a series of faint but audible piping sounds, which were recorded as fairly intense vibrations of the comb.
		It is thought to be a modulatory communication signal which influences various behaviours at the level of the individual: ranging from locomotion to egg laying and at the level of the colony: from foraging to reproductive and swarming behaviours.

	The Honeybee Family
		Apis florea (the little honeybee) and Apis dorsata (the giant honeybee) are both indigenous to India.
		Apis cerana (the Eastern honeybee) is kept in hives - being smaller than the Western honeybee, the hives are a smaller version of the Langstroth design.
		Apis mellifera is the Western honeybee - the honeybee of this country.

		One other indication that the little bees Apis florea found cooler weather more difficult to cope with than did the hive bees Apis mellifera was that the former did not start foraging till a little later in the day, when it was warmer.
		Unlike Apis mellifera, which stay to defend the narrow entrances to their nests, Apis florea, if their nests are attacked, have evolved an alternative strategy of flight instead of fight.
		I found colonies of Apis florea in villages of almost every region, in the sand and gravel plains and in remote mountain wadis, provided there were some flowers and a source of water - a rocky pool or well - nearby.

	BEEKEEPING FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN COUNTRIES UNDER STRESS:
		Apis florea has been reported in eastern Iraq although it is not known whether this species has naturally increased its distribution westwards from Asia, or this represents an introduction by man, as has happened in Sudan.
		Apis mellifera, the European honeybee, has been imported to Afghanistan from Pakistan: the origin of the Pakistan stocks is unknown.
		Apis mellifera colony per year (not involving migratory beekeeping) is regarded as a good yield.

	Feature
		Apis florea, Apis dorsata, and Apis laboriosa are wild in nature and cannot be kept in hives.
		Apis cerana, the native honeybee, is not popular among commercial beekeepers because of its low honey yield and undesirable behavioural traits: for example,frequent swarming and absconding.
		Apis cerana is cold resistant, suitable for stationary beekeeping, and available for the pollination of early blooming mountain crops.

		Apis mellifera worker and drone, Apis laboriosa worker; inset shows a pseudoscorpion and a varroa mite-- the tantalizing possibility exists that pseudoscorpions pick the smaller varroa mites from the bodies of the bees whose nest space they share, thus assisting in keeping down the population of this potentially harmful parasite.
		However, while Apis florea colonies produce a comb whose face is about the size of this magazine's cover, the latter two giant species each produce comb roughly half the size of an average door.

		These species include Apis Florea and Apis Dorsata, both of which build their single cones under the branch of a tree or on the overhangs of rocks.
		The third, Apis Cerana is very much like Apis Mellifera in that it will nest in hollow trees or rock cravaces, building a nest using several parelle combs.

	SAHPA-Clasification of the mellifera bee
		The honey bee called Apis mellifera L. is an insect which belongs to the Apidae family and to the Apis genre; this genre includes 4 species, social all of them:
		If we center on Apis mellifera there are 23 races o subspecies distributed among 7 zones: Southern and Eastern Europe, Northern and Western Europe (Apis mellifera sp ibérica), Mediterranean Islands, North, South, East and West of Africa.
		In winter they live more time because the number of bees which are born is almost null because the queen does not put eggs during this season and that´s why they have to survive until new workers began to be born so it´s possible for the colony to survive.
