- Abstract
Development of apiculture industry is of important significance for ecological agriculture development and yield/income increase of agriculture production. The land area in Israel is narrow, but her bee colony density and apiculture development all rank among the top of the world, specially the mechanization level is very high. In order to improve the large scale breeding level of apiculture industry in China, Israel study tours was made to learn from their apiculture industry. This paper conducted comparative analysis on apiculture industry ( CCD ), honey production, value of pollination, etc. between China and Israel. Due to the impact of CCD, the total quantity of Israel colonies decreased since 2006. Thus, the honey production and pollination output value were affected. But CCD had less influence on China's apiculture industry. The bee colony quantity and honey yield production in China were far more than that of Israel. But China's honey yield per unit area was less than Israel before 2005. Since 2006, due to the influence of CCD in Israel, China's honey yield per unit area had surpassed Israel, and keep rising. This paper selected 9 kinds of fruit, vegetable and cash crop, which depend on bee pollination, and carried out comparative analysis on pollination value. The pollination values of 9 kinds of fruit, vegetable and cash corp of Israel are higher than that of China. The mechanization level of apiculture industry of Israel is higher, less human resources are invested, more attention is paid on the economic value of pollination, and honey product quality and safety. All those results are worthwhile for China apiculture industry to use for reference.
