                    [Title] => Local bees adapt to Japanese-designed hives
                    [Summary] => 

A group of researchers has successfully employed Japanese-designed boxes for honeybee adaptation.


Hiving the Trigona biroi Friese, a stingless bee abundant in Bicol, in the Japanese-designed boxes resulted in high survival and low absconding of 16 feral colonies transferred. A study was conducted to determine the potentials of T. biroi as effective crop pollinators in glasshouse during temperate conditions. In Japan, this bee is seen as a potential pollinator of crops grown in glasshouses during winter.

In parts of the dormant volcano where there are no illegal settlers, its vegetation cover is now 80 to 100 percent restored.


The vegetative cover consists of premium trees and shrubs, fruit-bearing and agro-forest trees, bamboo and grass, and wild endemic and edible plants of various classifications and sizes.
