West Java is a province with the most tomato farms in Indonesia. In comparison to South Korea, which has the highest productivity of tomatoes in Asia that can reach up to 68 tons / ha, West Java can only produce less than a half of that number. Stingless bees are often mentioned as the important pollinators of crops in tropical and subtropical parts of the world (Crane E, 1992) because of these following advantages (Heard, T.A., 1999) : They are generally less harmful to humans and domesticated animals; they are able to forage effectively in glasshouses; propagation of colonies contributes to preservation of biodiversity by conserving populations of species that may otherwise declines owing to human disruption of ecosystems; colonies are rarely able to abscond, as the old queen is flightless; and they are resistant to the diseases and parasites of honey bees. For those reasons, stingless bees have the potential to increase the productivity of tomatoes in West Java.
