Role of Giant Honeybees in Natural and Agricultural Systems provides multidisciplinary perspective about the different facets of Giant honeybees. Giant honeybee – Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa are excellent pollinator of crops, fruits, and vegetables in cultivated and natural lanscapes. Their large size, long foraging range and large work force make them most spectacular of all honeybee species for crop pollination and honey production. Due to their decline, ecosystems and global food security is being threatened. This book is first of its kind which deals in detail on varied aspects of Giant honeybee biology, management, conservation strategies for protecting biodiversity and enhancing crop productivity. It aims to promote large, diverse, sustainable, and dependable bee pollinator workforce that can meet the challenge for optimizing food production in 21st century.

Salient Features:

  1. Covers the latest information on various aspects of biology of Giant honeybees and brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students
  2. An excellent source of advanced study material for academics, researchers and students and programme planners
  3. Provide an excellent source of livelihood in mountainous areas and marginal farmers
  4. Deals with biology, management, and conservation strategies for protecting biodiversity and enhancing crop productivity.
    1. Excellent pollinator of tropical and subtropical crops fruits vegetables etc less prone to diseases and enemies
  5. This book will be useful for pollination biologists, honeybee biologists, scientists working in agriculture, animal behaviour, conservation, biology, ecology, entomologists, environmental biologists, etc.



    Role of Giant Honeybees in Natural and Agricultural Systems provides multidisciplinary perspective about the different facets of Giant honeybees. Giant honeybee – Apis dorsata and Apis laboriosa are excellent pollinator of crops, fruits, and vegetables in cultivated and natural lanscapes.
