Locating Suitable Zones for Beekeeping in Selangor Malaysia.

Modern beekeeping has been established in Malaysia since 1981 under the collaborative research and development of the Malaysian Beekeeping Research and Development Team (MBDRT), which was funded by International Dutch Research Council (IDRC). During MBDRT research several findings on the of beekeepi...
