My research colleague, Dr. Ren Zong-Xin (Kunming Instite of Botany, Yunnan) is also interested in the decline of Apis cerana and the domination of Apis mellifera in China so I am sharing your communication with him. Go to the following link and read our most recent review of insect-pollination in China. This may help you.</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://www.amjbot.org/content/101/10/1700.abstract">http://www.amjbot.org/content/101/10/1700.abstract</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Robbie Hart has looked at beekeeping and rhododendron pollination in Yunnan and may also have some useful information. You should receive some responses but you will have to be a bit more explicit about the sort of field experiments you want to do, the time you have to do them and where you plan to do them in Nepal. </div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div>Peter Bernhardt, Prof. of Biology</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 7:37 PM, Bhatta, Chet Prasad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:c709b489@ku.edu" target="_blank">c709b489@ku.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex">

<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am PhD student at University of Kansas and from Nepal, got your contact via Prof Chip Taylor.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am interested to work on competitive interactions between European honeybees and Asian honey bees in context of Nepal as commercial beekeepers are recently attracted to European honeybees which act as invasive to cerana. In this regard, I am seeking
suggestions to formulate research methods that could be used in apiary setting containing both species. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking forward for your suggestions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you very much for your help and support.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely Yours,</div>
