這次在台北圓山飯店召開的IUFRO第五組會議，如同往常，宛若小型聯合國會議，將進30多國400位代表參加。這些來自各國的代表，齊聚ㄧ堂希望能對森林產品的加工利用以及教學進行交流討論。

2005年便得知此消息，一直到今年初才報名，夏天才匆忙將Abstract弄好交出去，審稿的包括了Dr. Youngs以及Dr. Bernerd等，投稿的題目是 [Outlook on the forest products vocational education in Taiwan---Apiculture and the manufacturing of related products.]，採Psoter方式進行，並有3分鐘左右的簡短報告。論文摘要如下：

Outlook on the forest products vocational education in Taiwan---honeybee cultivation and the manufacturing of related products.

Jan Shou Hsieh, Wen Chen Lee, Li Yu Lee

Under the Taiwan Forestry Management Act, the principles of forest management were revised to emphasize multiple use. The additional value from forests is significant. Under the current policy, we teach “Honeybee Keeping”, which is a new course in Taiwan forestry vocational education. In this 3 hr./week course, we teach students the biology and life history of honeybee (Apis mellifera); how to use beekeeping equipment; beehive manufacture and maintenance; gathering and collecting honey; and manufacturing the byproducts (beewax, royal jelly, pollen, candle). Since the course started in 1999, we have bred 10 beehives (about 200,000 honeybees) every year. The annual production of honey is 300 kilograms from longantree (Dimocarpus longans) and about 50 kilograms from wild flowers (especially from Bidens pilosa).

In addition to their importance, honeybees are valuable as forwarder of tree pollination. On the other hand, forested areas provide both forage and protection from excessive sun or wind for bees. Forest flowers and bees can give mutual help for each other. On the basis of recent experience, we believe raising honeybees can be a newly developing direction in forestry vocational education.
