Abstract
Beekeeping with Apis cerana Fab. has been traditionally adopted and is a part of natural heritage of some communities in West Java, Indonesia. Although A. cerana are poor honey yielders, they require low cost management and technology; they are adapted to cope with pests, diseases, and predators (Verma, 1998; Joshi et al., 2002; Pokhrel et al., 2006; Hishashi, 2011), and require no medication (Verma, 1998; Hishashi, 2011). Small scale beekeeping operations benefit from A. cerana (Joshi et al., 2002). Substitutes for pollen are necessary during periods of pollen dearth to provide the required nutrients thereby preventing colonies from absconding as well as maintaining healthy and productive colonies (Standifer et al., 1977; De Jong et al., 2009; Saffari et al., 2010). Providing pollen substitute for honey bee colonies also resulted in greater comb building, greater brood rearing, stronger colonies and greater hive storage (Pokhrel et al., 2006).
