Beekeeping in Mongolia

Beekeeping in Mongolia has a short history, with several species and subspecies of managed honey bees having been introduced in Mongolia since 1959. Introduced and managed species include the European dark bee, the Caucasian honey bee, the Russian Far East bee (Apis mellifera carpatica), and the "Haliun" bee that resulted from crossbreeding three geographically distinct honey bee species.[1]
