Abstract

Science learning, which is often theoretical at SMP Negeri 14 Ambon, is less connected to local biological potential. As a result, teachers and students' understanding of honey bees native to Maluku, both from the morphological aspect to the cultivation technology, is still limited. This service activity aims to increase the capacity of teachers and students on the topic as contextualized science enrichment material. The methods used include counseling, training, and hands-on demonstrations on morphological characters and bee cultivation technology. The results showed a significant increase in participants' enthusiasm and understanding. Teachers obtained new relevant teaching materials, while students were able to connect biology concepts with practical applications. Thus, this pengabdin activity was carried out to integrate local content and increase the relevance of science learning.

Abstract

Stingless bees have an important role, namely as a potential pollinator for increasing the production of various plants, as well as producing honey and propolis. This study aims to obtain species diversity, morphological characters, morphometric characteristics of stingless bees and descriptions of types of nesting stingers. It was carried out from March to May 2021. Observations of the morphological characters of the worker strata included: body color, thorax, mesoscutum, mesoscutellum, propodeum, abdomen, forewing color, number of hammuli, posterior hair of the back tibia, and elliptical disc on the inside of the back basitarsus. While the morphometric strata of workers measured were: body length, head width, head length, eye width, malar space length, second flagellomere width, long wingspan and tegula, back tibia width, back basitarsus width. Observations of stingless beehives include: hive height, nest location/material, entry length and diameter, entrance color and texture. The results of the study of the stingless bee species found in Leihitu District were T. clypearis, and in Salahutu District were T. clypearis and T. fuscobalteata. The morphological character of the species of T. clypearis is the body has a brownish black color with a size of 3.36-3.56 mm, the belly color is blackish brown. Species T. fuscobalteata dominant body brownish black with a body size of 2.78-3.24 mm brownish yellow belly color. Description of the nest of T. clypearis species, namely: nest height 26-219 cm, entrance brown and black, hard and soft structure, entrance hole length 0.3-7 cm, diameter 0.3-4 cm. Types of nesting T. fuscobalteata were: nesting height 160-193 cm, entrance brown, hard and soft structure, entrance length 0.8-1.3 cm, diameter 0.3-1.2 cm. With nesting substrates namely wood, stone and iron.

Abstract

Bees are honey-producing insects from the genus apis. In addition to honey, bees also produce pollen, royal jelly, propolis, beeswax and bee venom. Honey products that are widely found in Indonesia come from local honey bees, superior bees, wild bees, and lanceng bees. The high demand has driven up the price of honey bee products. Propolis has various health benefits such as containing high antioxidants and phenols, so it has the potential to cure various diseases such as toothache, influenza, diabetes mellitus, tuberculosis, and others. The purpose of this community service is to provide assistance to students regarding environmental awareness of honey bee cultivation at the Pattimura University Laboratory Middle School, Ambon and to increase the capacity of teachers in understanding the concept of environmental awareness of honey bee cultivation. The steps taken for learning honey bee cultivation use Project based learning (PjBL).
