Abstract

The Bicol Region is the birthplace of meliponiculture in the Philippines using the native stingless bee species, Tetragonula biroi Friese. Mr. Rodolfo Palconitin of Guinobatan, Albay, started the traditional method of stingless beekeeping using indigenous material, the coconut shell, which he called bao tech or coconut shell technology. It is a form of natural hive duplication wherein coconut shell halves are gradually mounted on top of each other as the colony grows. In this technology, hive product harvesting and colony splitting are done when the stingless bees have filled up the coconut shell halves. Inspired by the visit to the University of Los BaƱos (UPLB) Bee Program in 2010, the Grajo's Farm started using bao technology with several experimental hives upon return to home.
