The stingless bees in Guatemala include at least 33 species that belong to 17 genera and are widely distributed in the country, at different altitudinal ranges and forest types. They forage on flowers of a wide diversity, potentially contributing to their pollination.

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2012
![][1] For insects that live in colonies, social structure appears to be elevated to an art form. Numerous studies have documented that in insect societies the division of labour is typically based on age, whereby developmental maturation determines a specific job delegation ...

The American naturalist, 2016
The differentiation of workers into morphological subcastes (e.g., soldiers) represents an important evolutionary transition and is thought to improve division of labor in social insects. Soldiers occur in many ant and termite species, where they make up a small proportion of the workforce. A common assumption of worker caste evolution is that soldiers

Beneficial molecules for bee colony nutrition and health are also nutritional and medicinal for humans consuming bee products. Stingless bee species are a source of entomological variability in the honey and pollen they produce, besides the plants they forage and the microbial associations receiving particular attention in classic microbiology, food ...

A checklist of stingless bee species recorded in Venezuela is presented with information on popular names, studies on honey, taxonomy, distribution records, and biogeographic patterns. A total of 83 species distributed in 19 genera were surveyed, based on specimens of collection and literature.

Bombinae and Meliponinae are the only reasonably close relatives of honeybees. Since Meliponinae have many biological characteristics in common with Apinae (storage of honey, production and use of wax, perennial colonies of sometimes considerable size, division of labor), and since workers of some of the (bigger) species at first glance greatly ...

The tropics and subtropics are home to thousands of different types of bees. One bee group that frequently calls an observer’s attention are the stingless bees or Meliponini. In the Neotropics, for example, about half of all bees that one is likely to see on flowers belongs to this group (Chap. 9).

Microorganisms Associated with Stingless Bees
2012The highly diversified group of stingless bees presents an associated microbiota that is suspected to be responsible for transforming pollen to bee bread or for the formation of honey. These microorganisms may also play a role on honey maturation and the biochemical modification of stored honey.

Suicidal Biting in Stingless Bees
Bee World, 2015Stingless bees are widespread and diverse in the tropics. At our field site in Sao Paulo State, Brazil, there are dozens of species and almost every other tree contains a nest, making it perfect fo...
