Abstract

A study on seasonal migration of the tropical honeybee, Apis dorsata wasconducted in the protected habitat of the Bogor Botanic Garden, West Jawa, Indonesia by monitoring the arrivals and departures of colonies of the honeybee. The colonies arrived in the garden during both the higher mean monthly rainfall and the lower number of rainy days per month and departed during the time of increasing the number of both total monthly rainfall and monthly rainy days. During their stay in the garden, the colonies occupied a certain location and host plant patches. Their duration of stay in the garden was variable. It was 77%, 9% and 4% of the colonies developed, stable and decreased their colony member, respectively. The colonies (23%) performed reproduction by reproducing new queens. Early arriving colonies stayed in very long periods and reproduced colony fission.

Abstract

Ants are of high density on the host plant of golden tortoise beetle, Ipomoea carnea, and are being attracted by extrafloral nectaries on petiols.They are important predators of immature stages (eggs, larvae and pupae) of the beetles.The experiment was aimed to know how the golden tortoise beetles defense themselves against ants on I. carnea.The results indicated that golden tortoise beetle,both larvae and adults showed odd habits.They have a specific external organ, a protective camouflage with excreta of the larvae and oviposition strategy.The ant-beetle interaction on the host plants are discussed.
