Without Honey Bees 80% Of The Plants Will Disappear. Without Specific Plant Species, Butterflies Will Extinct And Our Fruits And Vegetables Will Diminish. A Distaster For Nature But Also For Us People. The Human Health Prognoses On The Long Term Are Worrying If The Biodiversity Shrinks
The stingless bees are one of the most diverse, attractive, fascinating, conspicuous and useful of all the insect groups of the tropical world. They are fifty times more species rich than the honey bees Plants and bees are made for each other because their development is closely related. If bees are allowed to cross-pollination, crops are able to increase up to 40% in production. Bees are absolute pollinators compared to bats, birds and others due to their vast numbers, for
example a Trigona colony has a maximum of 100,000 workers while Apis mellifera could
have 60,000 maximum workers. Stingless bees-
Stingless bees are very diverse in behaviour, but they are highly eusocial. Stingless bees are of the tribe of Meliponini in the family Apidae, and closely related to the
Common honey bees and found in most tropical or subtropical regions of the world. Stingless bees are not active all year round; they are less active in cooler weather. Unlike
other eusocial bees, they do not sting but will defend by biting if their nest is disturbed. stingless (Teragonula carbonaria) bees produce less than one kilogram honey but
it is prized as a medicine in many communitie Trigona species are highly tolerance to pests and diseases because of their smaller size and
extensive use of propolis which serves as germicidal and pest repellent. They are highly
tolerant to heat because of their propolis canopy. Due to above mentioned characters, Trigona species are the best pollinator for pollination in
horticultural crops. Pesticides kill them-----
