Changes in the dance orientation during night foraging in Apis dorsata
2021-2022
2021-2022
Over the years, we have developed several interactions and collaboration with our colleagues at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Prof. Belavadi and Axel organized a meeting on Asian bees in early 2018 "Bangalore Meeting on Asian Bees".
In addition, Axel was accepted as an external guide for master students at the Department of Apiculture.
