For the relative abundance obtained at 17% while the actual dominance is 100% with INP 2.17. While the total benefit value is Rp.476,141,924 with moderate levels of diversity. Mangrove forests provide the role of ecosystems in the presence of forest bees (Apis dorsata) in attaching their nests to nyiri trees (Xylocarpus granitus).
