Beekeeping in Sri Lanka - Bees may be small creatures, but the role that they play in the environment is a very important one. The tiny hairs found on the bodies of these insects allow them to carry pollen from one flowering plant to another, and this processācalled pollinationāis how seed-bearing fruits, vegetables, grains and other crops grow.
Sri Lanka is home to nearly 150 species of beesāand four of these species of bee produce their own honey.
all species of the honey bees found in Sri Lanka belong to the family Apidae. The names of these species are the Asian hive honey bee (Apis cerana), the giant honey bee (Apis dorsata), the dwarf honey bee (Apis florea) and a species of stingless honeybee called dammar bees (Trigona iridipennis)
