Publisher's Synopsis
Synopsis: This literature proposes new ideas and innovations that take into account the ultimate Beescape for Meliponaries with bee comfort at the top of the list of considerations. Thermal comfort is a term of grave concern when it comes to conservation in Meliponiculture. Often enough, enthusiastic new beekeepers are not overly worried about heat dissipation, especially during the summers on the fringes of the tropics.
Heat waves in the tropics may leave beekeepers anxious about the stability of the colony's health and population growth, Chances are the existing colonies may see the population dwindling rather than growing at any rate. We also look at earth tremors if not earthquakes in the "ring of fire" zone in The Wallacea regions. Flooding threats in South East Asia and Typhoons in the Oceanic Philippines are very troubling. Addressing these disastrous events and the potential threats is one of the aims of this book. We have scoured the region and looked at how different cultures attempt to mitigate the drastic and extreme weather in their respective regions. Out of these examples and data collection, we provide a gallery of designs on relevant bee housing that may have an impact on such mitigation that may apply to the relevant type of disaster frequently faced in each region.
