Abstract
MARANG: Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT) Indo-Malayan Kelulut Repository, which houses over 20 unique and rare species of the stingless bee, is expected to become a new ecotourism attraction in Terengganu. UMT Bee and Stingless Bee Researcher Group (SIG) head Prof Dr Shamsul Bahri Abd Razak said the repository, located at a 0.4ha site at UMT’s second campus in Bukit Kor here, was developed in April last year at the cost of RM100,000. He said it was set up mainly to serve as a genetic bank or collection centre for various species of bees for use as reference by researchers nationwide.
