Abstract - This bibliography of the published literature on Apis dorsata and A. laboriosa was compiled from 988 references written by 934 authors published in 290 periodicals, conference proceedings, theses, reports and books covering the period 1793-2005. The literature shows a balance between the applied aspects of beekeeping and basic honeybee biology for A. dorsata; but for A. laboriosa it reflects more basic biology.
