Abstract

The giant honeybee (Apis dorsata) is vital for ecosystems as a pollinator, significantly impacting agricultural productivity, biodiversity, and food sustainability. This study explores the morphometric characteristics of Apis dorsata populations in Batu Rakit Village, North Lombok Regency, a tropical region with rich biodiversity. Morphometric data were collected from 20 worker bees, focusing on body length, abdomen dimensions, wing dimensions, proboscis length, and body weight. Measurements were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression to identify significant relationships between morphometric traits and body weight. Results show that abdomen length (r = 0.50, β = 0.05, p = 0.01) and forewing length (r = 0.48, β = 0.08, p = 0.03) are the strongest predictors of body weight, underscoring their roles in resource storage and flight efficiency. Most traits exhibited low variability, reflecting evolutionary adaptations to environmental stability, while body weight displayed high variability (CV = 7.53%), indicating responses to environmental and individual factors. These findings highlight the ecological importance of uniform traits such as abdomen length and wing dimensions in supporting the foraging efficiency and resource transport of Apis dorsata. This study provides critical insights for the conservation and management of Apis dorsata populations in tropical ecosystems.

Abstract

Honeybees (Apis cerana) are one of the indigenous honeybee species of Asia. They serve a crucial function in ecosystems, mostly as pollinators. This study investigates the morphometric characteristics of Apis cerana worker bees in North Lombok Regency, focusing on two beekeeping groups: Harapan Keluarga and Tunas Muda, located in Salut village, Kayangan District North Lombok Regency. Morphometric analysis was conducted on 40 colonies, with measurements taken from eight key body traits: body length, abdomen length, femur length, tibia length, metatarsus length, forewing length, hindwing length, and body weight. Results revealed significant differences between the two locations. Tunas Muda bees exhibited larger morphometric traits with lower coefficient variations, indicating higher population uniformity. Correlation and regression analyses showed that body length, forewing length, and abdomen length strongly influence body weight, with body length having the highest correlation (r = 0.85) and determination coefficient (R2 = 0.722). The study highlights the impact of environmental factors, management practices, and nutritional conditions on bee morphology. These findings provide critical insights for enhancing beekeeping practices, supporting honeybee conservation efforts, and exploring genetic and physiological adaptations in Apis cerana. This research underscores the importance of integrating morphometric analysis into sustainable apiculture and biodiversity conservation strategies in North Lombok.

Abstract

Indonesia's tropical forests, especially in the Gunung Rinjani National Park (TNGR) area, play an important role in supporting biodiversity and the welfare of local communities. However, the traditional harvesting of forest bee honey (Apis dorsata) often does not take into account the principles of ecological sustainability, which has the potential to damage bee habitat. This activity aims to develop the technical and ecological competence of bee hunters through conservation-based training, which integrates local wisdom with scientific approaches. The method used is Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), with a participatory approach in five stages: socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and evaluation. The results of the activity showed an increase in technical capacity, ecological understanding, and changes in the behavior of bee hunters towards more environmentally friendly harvesting practices. The implication of this activity is the creation of a sustainable honey harvesting model, which not only conserves bee habitat but also increases the economic income of local communities.
