Local wisdom is one of the characteristics national culture that deserves to be explored and developed in the future. Honey production is carried out by maintaining traditional nest making that utilizes natural materials are local wisdom that is still applied. The purpose of this study is to (1) reveal the local wisdom in natural forest honey management, (2) the amount of natural forest honey produced by the community from periau using tikung techniques in the area of Siawan Belida, Nanga Tuan Village, Bunut Hilir Subdistrict, Kapuas Hulu Regency. The method used a survey with interview techniques, the selection of respondents are choosing all Nanga Tuan periau. The results of the study revealing local wisdom in preserving natural honey bees with tikung techniques in the Siawan Belida area, namely; tikung, making tikung, selecting trees for installation of tikung, agreement on division of territory in lakes (suak), sanctions for tree destroyers, sanctions for tikung hives burglars, pre-harvesting ceremonies, conditions of harvesting natural forest honey, harvesting honey bees process, honey treatment after harvesting at home. Tree preservation efforts of tikung honey bee techniques based on local wisdom, including; stipulation of forest lake areas in the management of tikung honey, types of feed for Apis dorsata bees. The amount of natural forest honey is 5- 8 tons / year with planting done twice / year.Keywords : local wisdom, natural honey bees, Siawan Belida, tikung techniques

Abstract. The development of export power ornamental fish offers the potential for ornamental fish the production of Indonesia to global force including the Melanotaenia Boesemani. The difference in value having an economy where a male fish have an economic value higher than the female fish. Based on it, this study aimed to examine the monosex productivity male by the masculinization using natural honey bee resin. Methods used to research this is the method with 4 RAL (0,5 ppm, 1 ppm, 1,5 ppm, and 2 ppm). Data analyzed using analysis (ANOVA) diversity if there is the nature of the treatment and continued with the BNT % 5. The results of the study showed that the bee resin (Propolis) could increase masculinized effect of M.boesemani with average to the percentage male in treatment A 43,92%, B 62,74%, C 50,28%, and D 59,49%, while treatment control of 52,80%. In addition also used the measurement of parameter supporting namely survival rate (SR) with the average treatment A 57,78%, B 44,44%, C 44,44%, D 35,56%, and control of 57,78%. To growth rate (GR) have result treatment A 0,0203g, B 0,0208g, C 0,0215g, D 0,024g, while for control of 0,210g. The quality of water includes the value of doing to the morning ranged from 5,38-8,43 ppm and by day ranged from 5.12-7,67 ppm, while for ph in the morning range 6.5-7.8 and by day ranged from 6.1 a total of 7.3. Based on the research can conclude that Masculinization of M. Boesemani by immersion larvae used honey bee resin (Propolis) with different doses impact against the effects of masculine M.Boesemani best at doses of 1 ppm with percentage 62,74 %.

Mixed pollen, gathered by honey bees, contained a free fatty acid which was isolated and identified as octadeca-trans-2,cis-9,cis-12-trienoic acid. The acid was shown to be an attractant for the honey bee. It is evidently produced by the plant and acts as a food marker for the insect.
