Many people have been traveling to Singapore for purposes of business for many years, whether in marketing, banking or trade. Singapore is well known for the excellence in practice, and for the convention halls, lectures and seminars dedicated to expanding the knowledge of the Singapore business world, and creating new business as well. The city is a bit congested and for anyone working there on a daily basis, say in a Singapore private bank, office building or hotel trips outside the city become a necessary retreat for peace of mind and well being. One of the best get aways close enough for a day trip is to the rain forest. The surroundings of the natural world will bring one back to onself, and give one the sense of the proper world. One of the largest trees in the rainforests of Asia are the Tualang Trees.
And of the most distinguishable features of the tree is that honeycombs, like large disks, hang from the branches high above the top of the forest canopy. One of the aspects of the trees is that the natural predator for honey, the bear, is unable to grip the sides of the tree due to the slick bark. Which means, the honey is there for the people. The honey harvestd from these trees is worth more than the timber would be should they be cut down, so the trees remain. Some of the combs reach a diameter of six or more feet, containing as many as thirty thousand bees. The bees are of the species of Asian bees, the largest honey bees in the world, averaging about a foot in length. An average tree will contain about one thousand pounds of honey. The ritual harvest of the honey occurs in February and March, and holds religious significance for Hindus and Muslims. This is one of the times of great festivals, and work. This is just one of the many aspects of the forest of interest when one decides to head to the rainforest of Singapore for a break from the city life.
