摘要:

Most readers will know of the special problem facing beekeepers in South America—the spread through the continent of descendants of the queens ofApis mellifera adansoniiintroduced into Brazil in 1956. Dr. Paulo Nogueira-Neto first brought the situation to the notice ofBee Worldreaders in 1964, in an article (p. 119–121) which followed a short announcement (p. 9) under the heading“A cautionary tale on importing bees”.In 1966 (p. 90) news was given that the bees had reached Argentina and Paraguay; in the same year (p. 123–131, reprint M45) current information was gathered together in an article by P. D. Paterson,“The present economic status ofA. m. adansonii:summary and bibliography”. This article mentioned especially two aspects to the affair—the aggressiveness of the bees with all its attendent problems, and their high productivity in tropical America compared with European bees.Here, V. Portugal Araújo, a biologist who has specialized in apicultural investigations, working for many years withA. m. adansoniiin Angola, discusses the problem, and presents some interesting facts and figures. Mr. Portugal Araújo is the Apicultural Technician of the Direcção de Agricultura e Florestas de Angola, P.O. Box 879, Nova Lisboa.Meanwhile, statements have been issued that the“African bee problem”is expected in the United States within ten years. Those in authority there have been sufficiently concerned to arrange for the National Academy of Science to send a team to Brazil to investigate the problem at first hand; Professor C. D. Michener is to be in charge of the team. There is at present almost no knowledge of the behaviour ofA. m. adansonii,or of its relative dominance over the various races ofApis mellifera,outside the tropics and sub-tropics.

摘要:

This article presents a useful short survey of techniques developed for honey analysis since 1900, mainly in the United States. It was prepared in connection with research onApis dorsatahoney, results of which are published in the current issue ofJournal of Apicultural Research,in a paper by Hoang Van Minh together with the other four authors of this summary. Working in the Philippines, they needed an assessment of methods currently available and, because of accessibility of sources, American publications predominate.Professor Steinkraus and Professor Morse are on the staff at Cornell University (at Geneva and Ithaca respectively) in New York State. The other authors are at the University of the Philippines, College of Agriculture, Laguna.
