Title:<\/strong> Honey bees: their importance and interactions with humans in South East Asia Date:<\/strong> June 26th (Fri.), 12:00 – 13:30, 2015
\nSpeaker:<\/strong> Dr. Panuwan Chantawannakul, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University<\/p>\n
\nPlace:<\/strong> Conference room (Room No. 107), 1st floor of East building, CSEAS, Kyoto University

\nAbstract:<\/strong>
\nAsian honey bees have been long evolved for million years along with flowering plants. Pollination services provided by bees to maintain the plant biodiversity in South East Asian forests and crops for human food production are of greatly importance. Additionly, South East Asians have been consuming honeybee products and applied them as traditional medicines due to their therapeutic properties. Furthermore, traditional knowledge and beekeeping practices to harvest bee products have been embedded in beliefs and cultures in this region. Nevertheless, due to
\nsocietal change and the way of life of South East Asians, wild honeybee populations have been severely affected. Some species are adapting to the new changing environment while some bee populations have been decreasing. This presentation looks at how, through human activities; new emerging diseases; and climate change, honey bees, the key
\npollinators, are struggling to adapt themselves towards those threats under both natural and artificial (human) selections to maintain their species survival.<\/p>\n
