西双版纳 / Xishuangbanna

西双版纳 / Xishuangbanna is the 云南 field setting in EP261 “蜜蜂危机”：如果失去蜜蜂，世界将会怎样？. The episode uses it as a high-biodiversity region where 刘畅 reports on local bees, traditional beekeeping, wild honey collection, stingless bees, and the tension between rainforest pollination and cash-crop agriculture.

Within the wiki, Xishuangbanna matters because it shifts the bee discussion from honey and commercial hives toward native-bee ecological pollination. The source says the region may contain hundreds of bee species and that 西双版纳植物园 began more systematic local bee investigation in 2024, making the place a case of both ecological richness and knowledge gaps.
