Beekeeping with Apis cerana indica,
Publisher: not available
Published: 2007
Description: Apis cerana is also known as the Asian hive bee, one of the Asian honey bee species that nests with multiple combs, and inside a cavity, and therefore can be kept inside a hive. During the past 30 years, many beekeeping enterprises in Asia have imported European races of Apis mellifera, with all its associated technology and management methods. 
Chapters discuss hives: how to design and make them, where to place them, how to obtain and inspect colonies; and how to extract honey, feed bees and do queen rearing. The focus is on small-scale Apis cerana beekeeping using equipment that is available to rural people with few financial resources.
