Type of Bees


There are still many Indonesian people who think if a good honey is honey produced by wild bees (Apis dorsata) in the jungle, really?

Actually bee is divided into several types, no type of bee that is better but all must comply on its placement.
For example apis cerana is better to take the honey from the nectar Kaliandra because these types of bees can either choose nectar with sugar content below 7%, while apis mellifera better to take honey kapok because the honey produced will reduce the level of acidity in honey, whereas for forest bees (Apis dorsata) the quality of the honey produced will depend on the environment, because it will take the honey bees from the nectar of flowers of different quality honey can be very good or very bad depending became what plants are consumed.

So honey produced by wild bees woods yet definitely better than the honey produced by bees cattle and vice versa, all depending on the placement of the bees in accordance with their respective advantages.
Unfortunately there are still many farmers in Indonesia who do not know how the placement in accordance with the nectar bees consumed.

Hopefully this information is useful to farmers honey and also people who consume honey.
Have a great activity.
