Abstract
Some observations on the interspecific relations between 2 species of honeybees inhabiting Japan, Apis mellifera L. (introduced) and A. cerana Fabr. (endemic), are described. In general, A. cerana is more tolerant and less aggressive than A. mellifera. It is suggested that robbery by A. mellifera plays an important role in the decrease of A. cerana.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
