1. Thai Honey Bee
A native of Thailand. Fed by rural farmers in general It is found in the southern part of Thailand such as Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chumphon and Surat Thani. Mostly used to create a simple container. Trapped or moved honeysuckle from natural hollows into the casket and waiting for time to store honey in blooming season. Therefore, Thai honeysucking bees are easier to start and invest less than western honeybees. Or a hobby Thai honey bees can produce about 5-20 kilograms per nest per year. Thai hollow bee is a bee with a body length of 22-12 mm larger than the bee body. But smaller than the western bee. Behavior built nest by hollow wood. Inside the roof of the house and the area inside the hollow. There is a hole in the small hole. Create nest nest nest nested several layers of honey can store a lot. Have a bad habit Can be fed But bee hives have frequent nesting behavior. If food is scarce and the enemy is disturbed, it usually leaves the nest. However, there is a way. Control of the nesting of Thai horn bees.

2. Honey bee
Bee brought the morning from abroad. Currently popular in the northern provinces of Phitsanulok, Phrae, Nan, Lampang, Lampoon, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
Prachatok bee work in the nest more than Thai honeybees. There are about 40,000 to 50,000 bees per nest, but there are about 20,000 to 30,000 bees in Thailand. Therefore, honey bees can find honey and honey more than Thai honey bees. It is popular for trade at the industry level. Currently, there are more than 50,000 bee hives. Beekeepers are divided into 3 groups.
1) Raising the hobby is a hobby and a supplementary career.
2) Feeding is a 50-200 family nesting trade.
3) Farmers in the agricultural industry 200-2000 honey bee nest can produce as many honey. 20-100 kg per nest per year
            Bee hatching before the decision to bee bee first to explore themselves before that. Are you allergic to bee sting? Because the symptoms of bee allergy are from severe pain, not breathing out fever, the bee is not allergic, it is slightly painful. When the balm will disappear soon. Beekeepers must be hit by bees as a common tongue with teeth together. It is a common wound is commonplace if we are always careful to be gentle. It may be possible to avoid being hit.
            Bee hatching in Thailand Believed to have existed for hundreds of years, in the early days, beekeepers used hollows of wood. Or hollow material to bee nest. Later it was developed using wooden trunks for honeybees. Currently the most burrowed honey bee in Koh Samui. And southern Thailand, where most of the bee feeds into the nest. Natural wood There is no bee island. And can not move But the study of bee biology research unit. Chulalongkorn University It was found that the hollow bees can be raised in the standard nest with the same as the honey bee. Using artificial nesting bees make bee nest nest with conch stick. Move And it is easy to get honey from the nest. It can rapidly increase the number of bee populations. The use of nursery techniques. And change the new queen every six months, reducing the rate of separation and nesting. With the record in 1983 about the first honeybees. By Professor Supachai Vichit Wattana as a lecturer in Biology. Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University That the first foreign bees were introduced to study at Chulalongkorn University Later, at Kasetsart University in 1953, Professor Luang Samanarn Former President of Kasetsart University Ordered bees from Australia but early Beehive bees do not succeed. Because of the bee problem. And those who lack basic knowledge in biology and Proper bee management Therefore, industrial beekeeping does not occur. Until about 1977, private companies ordered bees from foreign countries to propagate bees. And produce various products from bees. Can be exported to overseas.
    Honey from bees in the forest is less. Because the people we cut deforestation, bees and wildlife habitat. In addition, he also burned the forest, which burned bees. To get enough honey on demand. We started learning about bees and started to try beekeeping. We have bee honey for sale. Or sent to the candy factory and used to make medicines such as cough syrup with sweet flavor, most children have mixed water. Make delicious Beekeeping Unlike pet dogs and cats, bees fly away to find the symptoms or nectar from flowers. Eat naturally And fly back to the nest itself. We may not two bees to tame like other pets. Can not teach bees not to smash people. Beekeepers must be careful to prepare a large bee nest. To honey honey, we also provide bee pollen. Let our fruit plants have the fruit such as longan, rambutan, lychee, lemon and listen to the watermelon, etc. ???????????
