The Project

Our exploration venture calls for buy of hundred (100) Kelulut colonies, one for each program member. The Kelulut hives cost $400 USD's each and are bought finished with honey bees (and a suitable Queen). The aggregate cost for hives will be $40000 USD's. We intend to draw in ten individuals here in Miri to be engaged with our examination project.

We appraise cost for attire, books and security gear to be about $10000 - $20000 USD's. All stores raised will be utilized to buy hardware and supplies for the venture paying little heed to regardless of whether we achieve the objective of $60,000 Dollars. On the off chance that we raise more than required we will utilize the abundance assets to buy more Kelulut's and get more individuals included: That would satisfy the Team in particular and enable more individuals to find a potential new wellspring of pay.

The Impact

The Kelulut is the term utilized by local Malays to allude to this sort of apiary, local to the tropical woodlands and wildernesses of Malaysia. There are (by and by) 30 known types of the stingless honey bees in Malaysia, called, 'Melipona'. Our group is examining Trigona itama and Trigona minima.

The group's exploration will prompt foundation of better honey bee administration hones and a more complete assortment of information the stingless bumble bee. The stingless bumble bee is that, preceding our examination venture, were not known nor discovered anyplace in any logical writing.

Dangers and Challenges

One hazard we are certain that won't be experienced is the possibility of members and analyst being stung by the Melipona. The Melipona species does not have a lancet, or stinger, and can't exact a sting. Nonetheless, the Melipona is equipped for gnawing with its little jaws or Mandibles. The width that the mandible is equipped for being spread is, little. In this way one can scarcely feel the chomp, in the event that one happens by any stretch of the imagination. The Melipona is, for the most part, extremely modest and not forceful and not inclined to swarming. Keeping in mind the end goal to diminish the likelihood of any wounds to either honey bee or task members various workshops identified with legitimate hive administration and appropriate beekeeping systems will be held. Amid the workshops members will get one-on-one preparing with respect to appropriate honey bee administration and colony support rehearses for the Melipona species.
