Human get benefits from many kinds of product from honey bee such as honey, pollen, royal jelly, bees wax and honey bee venom. Moreover, the honey bee is the most important pollinator to help farmers in Thailand increase their crops and their income. Giant honey bee (Apis dorsata) is a native bee species to Thailand, they have the biggest body size and nest size compared to other native bee species in Thailand. A. dorsata usually build their nest on a branch of a big tree. In the past, A. dorsata nests were often found in every part of Bangkok. After the city expanded and many big trees were cut, then we found only few A. dorsata nests in the parks. Furthermore, there is high rate of honey bee hunting because honey and brood of A. dorsata are very popular edible insects among Thai people, this reason made populations of A. dorsata decreased. Thus, it is the time to conserve environment of Bangkok in order to increase, or at least retain popula- tions of A. dorsata.
