B. Bees (Apidae)
1. Honey bee group
Apart from providing us with honey, pollen and resin, honey bees are vitally important as
pollinators. Seven species have, so far, been recorded in Malaysia. They are Apis dorsata
(giant honey bee, believed to be native to Malaysia), A. cerana (oriental honey bee), A. florea
(dwarf honey bee), A. nuluensis and A. koschevnikovi (two bee species that nest in cavities),
A. mellifera (common honey bee, introduced from Australia for the bee keeping industry) and
A. andreniformis (recently described from Tenum, Sabah).
