WEEKLY REPORT

WEEK	5
PLACE	Farm Management Unit, UiTM Melaka Kampus Jasin. MELIPONINI PLOT, LADANG ANGKAT.
DETAILS INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION	Week 5 is our second physical learning session with all parts 1, 2 and 3. For the second learning session, four classes from part 3 have been divided into their own Ladang Angkat to take care of for the whole semester. Next, my class has been assigned to care for the Meliponini Plot which is a stingless bees plot. Sir Zafri briefed my class regarding pest and disease management this time.
OBJECTIVE(S)	In stingless bee plots, managing pests and diseases has two benefits: first, it safeguards the bee colonies, ensuring their well-being and productivity in pollination and honey production. Second, it helps to preserve biodiversity in the habitat, maintain ecological balance, and promote the health of other plant and animal species in the ecosystem.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pest and disease management in stingless bee plots is an important aspect of beekeeping that aims to keep colonies healthy and vital while also supporting overall ecosystem balance. Beekeepers identify and address potential threats to stingless bee colonies' health through careful monitoring and proactive measures. Integrated pest management strategies, such as cultural, biological, and chemical control methods, are frequently used to reduce risks while minimizing environmental impact. In order to maintain the sustainability of stingless beekeeping operations, regular inspections, hygienic procedures, and the application of natural remedies help prevent infestations and outbreaks. Pest and disease management efforts benefit both stingless bee populations and the ecosystems they inhabit by prioritizing colony health and preserving biodiversity within their habitats.
