Some recent publications

Ayansola, A.A.; O.A. Ige and C.C. Adeyemi (2003) Mosquitoes associated with rock holes in the Okeiho-Iseyin Area of southwestern Nigeria. The Nigerian Field, 68: 3 – 17.

This paper presents baseline information on the mosquito – vegetation – rock interaction on two of a series of hills between the towns of Iseyin and Okeiho within the derived savanna zone of southwestern Nigeria. The information provided could be of relevance in the understanding of mosquito biodiversity and the planning of an integrated control programme for mosquitoes.

Ayansola, A.A. (2004) Honeybees: Bioecology, Honey Production and utilization. Trankhei and company (publishers) Ibadan, Nigeria; 66pp + 6 color plates + 27 line illustrations

This book provides essential and adequate information necessary for successful and profitable bee-keeping enterprise in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. It provides pertinent and highly valuable insight into the basic biology, ecology and management of honeybees Apis mellifera adansonii. Also, it discusses harvesting processing and utilization of honey and other bee products.

Ayansola, A. A. (2006) Foraging habits of Honeybees, Apis mellifera adansonii in the rainforest zone of southwestern Nigeria. Submitted to Journal of Agricultural Research.

The foraging habits of Apis mellifera adansonii was studied over a six-year period in the rainforest zone of southwestern Nigeria with a view to understanding their feeding behavior, food plants and seasonal habits for their proper management for pollination and honey production.

Research in Progress
