Diversity of bees and wild pollinators in the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam

A survey on the diversity of bees and wild pollinators and the status of the bee industry was conducted in the Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The data were made available to the respective National Coordinators (NC) for the Management of Animal Genetic Resources and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and entered into the Domestic Animal Diversity Information System (DAD-IS). The honeybee species recorded are Apis andreniformis, A. breviligula, A. cerana, A. dorsata, A. florea, A. laboriosa, and A. mellifera. The subspecies of A. cerana are A. c. indica and A. c. cerana, while A. mellifera has A. m. ligustica and A. m. carnica. There are 48 species belonging to ten genera, namely, Ebaiotrigona, Geniotrigona, Heterotrigona, Homotrigona, Lepidotrigona, Lisotrigona, Pariotrigona, Tetragonilla, Tetragonula, and Tetrigona. There are shared and unique species in each of the countries. The other species of wild pollinator observed were Bombus and solitary bees. The profiles of the beekeepers and the status of the bee industry, threats to beekeeping, and conservation strategies for pollinators were also discussed in this paper.
