[Pollinator] Seeking Suggestions

[Peter Bernhardt]

Dear Mr Bhatta:

The North American Pollinators Protection Campaign has a list serve in
which important questions, like the one you have, are discussed.  Please
see our website and join NAPPC (it's free).  Here's a link to the site.

Your important question has been sent to the NAPPC list serve.  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.

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.

Sincerely,
Peter Bernhardt, Prof. of Biology
