1 THE IMPORTANCE OF HONEYBEES TO CROP POLLINATION IN VIETNAM Hanh Duc Pham 1 Dr. Gard W. Otis 2 (1) Bee Research and Development Centre, Hanoi, Vietnam (2) Environmental Biology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada, N1G 2W1
2 General structure of complete flower with both male and female structures Stigma Style Anther Filament Petal Pollination: transfer of pollen from anthers to stigma of the flower Nectaries Nectar droplet Ovary Ovule Sepal S Self-pollination vs. cross pollination
3 Pollinators flickr.com/photos/pseudacris/ / Insects: Bees Butterflies Flies Birds Bats Wind
4 The importance of pollination 30% of food in developed countries results from bee pollination Economic value of pollination worldwide Amounted to CAD $254 billion in 2005 Represented 9.5% of the value of the world agriculture production (Gallai, N., et al., 2008)
5 The importance of pollination Canada: 70% of Canadian food crops need insects for pollination The value of honeybee pollination: about 9X more than the value of the honey and beeswax produced ($443 million vs. $49.6 million, ) (Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, 1995)
6 The importance of pollination USA: Number of colonies rented for pollination increased from 2,035,000 in 1989 to 2,500,000 in 1998 (22.8%) Value of the increased yield and quality achieved through pollination by honeybees was $9.3 billion in 1989 and $14.6 billion in 1998 (a 57% increase) (Morse R. & Calderone N., 2000).
7 Situation of pollination in Vietnam Vietnam is tropical country Average temperatures: *Hanoi: 29.2 o C (summer) and 17.2 C (winter) *HCM city: 26 o C average Flowers and bee forage are available all year round Many crops require insect pollination
8 Situation of pollination in Vietnam Honeybees in Vietnam Apis cerana apiary Pham Thi Huyen Apis dorsata Apis mellifera colonies Pham Thi Huyen Apis florea
9 Situation of pollination in Vietnam blog.360.yahoo.com/blog- Kv4DMhc6c6nJj3gKBVGAh blog.360.yahoo.com/blogqyvzee8pbqfgjqeghcdad www2.vietbao.vn/.../ sm.jpg Crops that benefit from bees and other insects: Fruit trees Melons Vegetables Oil-seed crops Perennial crops (e.g., coffee)
10 Situation of pollination in Vietnam No commercial pollination services. Crops must rely on natural pollination Few research studies have been done Generally farmers do not know much about the importance of pollinators A few farmers take actions to improve crop yields.
11 Avocado (Persea americana) Liz Vernand Value of crop: 7.3 million $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, flies, wasps Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators: 50% (Kalman, 1979) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: from 3.6 to 5.9 million $US/year
12 Coffee (Coffea arabica, C. canephora, C. excelsa) Value of crop: 1,400 million $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, wasps Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 50% + (Roubik, 2002; Raw & Free, 1977) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: over 700 million $US/year
13 Cucumber (Cucumis sativus) Value of crop: over 600 thousand $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, solitary bees, butterflies Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 90% (Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, 1995) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: 550,000 $US/year
14 Litchi (Litchi chinensis) Truong Anh Tuan Value of crop: 72.3 million $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, fly Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 100% (Indian Bee Journal, 1981b; YaoChun, 1993) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: 72.3 million $US/per year
15 Longan (Dimocarpus longan) Value of crop: 245 million $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, fly Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 30% (Wongsiri, 1984 (cited by Crane & Walker, 1984)) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: 73.6 million $US/year
16 Melon and watermelon (Citrullus spp.) Value of crop: 102 million $US per year Pollinators: honeybees, solitary bees, stingless bees Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 80% (Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, 1995) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: $81.2 million USD per year
17 Pumpkin and Squash (Cucurbita spp.) Value of crop: 820 thousand $US/year Pollinators: honeybees, flies, beetles Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators : 60% (Canadian Association of Professional Apiculturists, 1995) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: over 490,000 $US/year
18 Sesame (Sesanum indicum) Value of crop: 42.5 million $US/per year Pollinators: honeybees, stingless bees, solitary bees Proportion of yield attributed to pollinators: 32% (Indian Bee Journal, 1981b) Value of honeybees regarding to pollination: 13.6 million $US/year.
19 Summary English name Area (ha) Total production ( tons) Total value (million $US) Increase due to honey bees pollination (%) Value due to Honeybees (million $US) Avocado 2,694 40,000 t $7.3 50%; 81.25% $ Coffee 506, ,000 t $1,400 over 50% over $700 Cucumber 316 2,500 t $0.6 90% $0.5 Litchi 87, ,000 t $ % $72.3 Longan 97, ,000 t $ % $73.6 Melons and water melons Pumpkin and Squash 3, ,000 t $ % $ ,000 t $0.8 60% $0.5 Sesame 44,700 28,000 t $ % $13.6 Total $1,870 $945
20 Discussion The table reveals that the honeybees contribute over 50% of the value of some important crops Value of animal pollinators, especially honeybees, that contribute to agriculture in Vietnam is enormous and significant Reasons that honeybees are important pollinators: Managed easily Transported easily Kept for other purpose (honey) rather than pollination
21 Discussion Reasons that honeybees are important pollinators: Pollinate many crops Can be present in large numbers where and when they are required to pollinate a crop; not possible with most other insects Honeybees pollination is less costly (time and labor) than hand pollination Acreages for many crops are underestimated. Pollination requirements of many crops are still poorly understood
22 Most research conducted in developed countries Research needs to be done in order to: Identify diversity of pollinators for crops under different conditions Identify modes of pollination for major crops Identify contribution of pollination to total yield for each crop in different regions and countries Raise awareness of extension agents and officers, beekeepers, and famers about the value of honeybees in Asian agriculture Call for protection of honeybee and other insect pollinators.
