中华蜂种群急剧萎缩的生态人类学探究

Ecological Anthropological Analysis of Population Decrease of Chinese Bees

中华蜂又称中华蜜蜂、中蜂、土蜂,是东方蜜蜂的一个亚种,也是我国传统养蜂业独有的当家品种。自1896年我国引进西方蜜蜂的100余年,中华蜂种群数量、分布区域不断萎缩,并濒临灭绝。中华蜂的生态价值和文化价值受到忽视,这将严重影响我国非物质文化的传承和生态安全。

Known as Chinese Honey Bee,China Bee and Local Bee,Chinese Bee,a subspecies of Oriental bees,is the most important and popular bee in Chinese traditional beekeeping. Since 1896 when western bees were introduced to China,the population and distribution areas of China Bees have been decreasing,leading the subspecies to the threat of extinction. The neglect of ecological and cultural values of Chinese Bee will seriously affect China＇s intangible cultural heritage and ecological security.
