Madu Terbaik Dunia

Madu Terbaik Dunia datang dari pokok pokok berbunga iaitu seperti madu dari bunga pokok:

1.   Melaleuca Cajuputi

2.   Cengkih

3.   Manuka

Honey Village Melaleuca Honey is primarily derived from the nectar of Melaleuca Cajuputi (Tea Tree) in Tropical Rain Forest. Honey Village Melaleuca Honey is primarily derived from the nectar of Melaleuca Cajuputi (Tea Tree) in Tropical Rain Forest. The flowers are white in colour and emerging on a long spike in the shape of a bottle-brush. This Honey has its own naturally distinctive flavour, aroma and is dark-amber colour. It is carefully extracted and processed to ensure there is no damage or oxidation of the vital nutrients.

Abstract

Apis dorsata is one of the important honeybee species in tropical and subtropical regions that forages on various plants including herbs, grasses, forest trees and plantation trees. However, information on the spatial distribution of various pollen sources of Apis dorsata is still lacking. This study aimed at mapping the spatial distribution of the major honeybee plants that serve as pollen sources to Apis dorsata using an integrated Geographical Information System (GIS)-Remote Sensing (RS) approach. Mapping of pollen sources was based on SPOT-5 satellite imagery within a GIS environment. The SPOT-5 imagery was enhanced, classified and vectorized using ENVI 4.7. Image classification techniques were used to separate the pollen sources into six classes. Ten observation plots, each measuring 10×10 m, were established for each pollen source class using a randomized sampling technique. Results showed that Melaleuca cajuputi covered a total of 2,398.8 ha (5.5%), Acacia sp. 11,377.8 ha (25.9%), Elaeis guineensis 19745.1 ha (44.9%), non-vegetation 4,647.2 ha (10.6%), water bodies 973.5 ha (2.2%) and cloud/haze/shadow 4830.5 ha (10.6%). The overall classification accuracy was 91.5% and the Kappa coefficient was 0.8. The GIS-RS map showed that almost all of the Apis dorsata nesting sites were located in the Elaeis guineensis area. This study clearly demonstrates that Apis dorsata prefers to build its nest in close proximity to the pollen source.

Namun demikian terdapat manusia yang menipu insan lain! Untuk mendapat madu asli, adalah sukar kerana terdedah kepada sengatan lebah yang boleh melumpuhkan dan pokok pula sangat tinggi ! Jadi senangnya mereka buat madu tiruan! Suruh pula anak orang asli jual di tepi jalan naik Cameron Highland dekat Simpang Pulai. Harganya antara RM15-25 bergantung cara anda menawar harga! Madu tiruan akan menyakitkan tekak anda bila dimakan dan tiada perubahan pada badan anda! Sebaliknya madu asli anda boleh lihat cahaya matahari menembusi botol dan anda tak sakit tekak bila meminumnya! Harga pun boleh tahan mahal. Madu asli badan anda akan lebih segar selepas 3 hari atu seminggu mengamalkannya manakala madu tiruan buah pinggang dan hati boleh rosak akibat pewarna kimia dan bahan pengawet! Anda pula terpaksa jalani dialisis darah. MAdu asli boleh tahan selama 6 tahun tanpa rosak mankala madu tiruan tidak tahan lama.

Penternak lebah madu memberi makan lebah2 mereka dengan makanan sintetik dan memberi antibiotik pada lebah untuk daptkan tuaian penghasilan madu berskala besar besar! Justeru normal bakteria flora dalam perut lebah akan berubah! Ini akan menjejaskan kualiti madu yang dihasilkan nanti!!
