A Study of Correlation Analysis between Feces Activity Area and Environment Factors against Western Honeybee (Apis mellifera)

This study was conducted to determine the direction and distance of the honeybee feces and assess how feces change depending on external landscape and environmental factors. In order to find out the direction of honeybee feces according to the landscape factors, the experimental area was divided and classified by landscape factors. In addition, honeybee feces experiment according to the climatic factors was conducted eight times per week starting from April 7 to May 26, 2020. As a result, it was confirmed that feces occurred in the direction where the specific gravity of the forest was high. The honeybee feces results showed that the drastically decreased at 300 m, with clear positive relationship with temperature, and negative relationship with wind speed.
