SOURCE PLANT FEED BEE

Penyerbukaan is pollen transfer events from the stamens to the stigma of a flower is to produce seeds that will be candidates for new plants. Events that could occur through wind or insects to help pollinate.Bees are one of the important pollinating insects intermediaries. When bees alighting on a flower, pollen stuck all over his hairy body. When bees visit other flowers, some falling pollen and pollinate flowers on plants recently visited it.Honey bee breeding business success is largely determined by the accuracy of determining the location of the farm in a place that is rich in plant food source for bees. In addition, the density of bee plant food resources also determine the volume of production. A honey bee colony requires a minimum of about one acre bee feed resources.When dense flowering plants, bees will fly back and forth busy gathering nectar and pollen of flowers. Serngga it will try to collect and fill stomachs with honey nectar. Upon arriving at the nest, all contents poured, processed, and stored as a backup feed.A. Sources Feed BeesAll kinds of flowering plants (plants of forest, agricultural crops, plantation crops, horticultural crops, and wild plants) that contain elements of nectar as an ingredient of honey, pollen, and propolis can be used as a source of feed bees. To develop the beekeeping industry, farmers are required to have knowledge about the types of plants visited by many bees.In areas where rainfall is high enough there are many types of flowering plants continuously throughout the year. Worse, in a very rich source of this flower bee honey does not have the instinct to hoard food supplies. As a result, the production of honey is less satisfactory. Only the forest bee Apis dorsata capable backup feed menimbung (honey) in large quantities.In the area of ​​real dry season, the honey bee has the instinct to hoard supplies as drought in the dry season. In the area of ​​Yucatan (Mexico), a dry climate, per bee colonies maintained an average yield of 140 kg of honey per year.
 
B. Good Flowering PlantsPembudidayakan honey bees need pollen and nectar in sufficient quantity and available continuously throughout the year. However, not all plants produce nectar, pollen, or nectar and pollen constantly. Therefore, in the honey bee pembudidayakan known plant source of the nectar and pollen major, another source of nectar and pollen sources of support.The main source of nectar and pollen from plants kapok (Ceiba petandra) which locations are spread in Java in Batang, Kendal, Jepara and Pati (Central Java), as well as Pasuruan and Banyuwangi (East Java). Flowering season ranges from June to August. Another source of nectar and December include rubber, coffee, longan, durian, and rambutan.Month from January to May, grazing honeybee pollen source location support, namely corn. At that time additional food in the form of sugar syrup is needed to replace the nectar is not available in the field.Agricultural crops such as soybeans, peppers, cabbage, beans, onions, apples, and mangoes are also a source of feed bees. Unfortunately, relatively very short flowering season.Combination kaliandra plant (Calliandra callotyrsus) with coconut (Cocos nucife) or kaliandra with various shrub can be used for apiary Apis indica that is settled. The combination of plants that can provide continuous feed bees throughout the year.Flowering plants good for bees feed source must meet the following requirements. flowers that contain nectar and pollen easily taken in by bees. The plants were available in large quantities, close to the center lebh maintenance within 2-3 km radius to be afforded by the flying bees. The plant has a flowering season rotation, so the flowering season is expected to take place throughout the year.
