      @BugTypeTrainer 6 месяцев назад +16

      There are actually a few reasons. One of which is the removal of a stinger ensures that the target will receive a full dose of venom, another reason is the release of the death pheromone, which is a signal that spreads to her sisters quite fast, allowing for a ‘swarm’ of protective sisters. Also unlike what deeplook said, stingless bees DO have stingers, theyre just unable to sting people

    I'm currently trying to restore the stingless bee population at he farm i grew in southern brazil. They disappeared in the last 15 years with the increase in the use of agrotoxics and expansion of monocultures. Bit by bit, they are coming back. One colony of Jataí (_Tetragonisca angustula_) even built their new nest inside the wooden walls of the house after trying to on in a cabinet INSIDE THE HOUSE, despite my attempts to lure them to a wooden box. Gotta love those little creatures

    With all that resin, honey, and wax, those hives must smell absolutely fantastic

  • @mixiekins
    @mixiekins 5 месяцев назад +1

    That resin is a crucial component not only for the bees, but also for a critically endangered art from the region called Popotillo. You use the beeswax to stick naturally dyed straw (also endemic to the region, Sporobolus wrightii) to something like paper or wood, and the resin in the wax is a critical component in keeping the wax pliable. For over a decade now I've been researching and mastering the art to try and preserve it, because there hasn't ever been a book written about it, and even I struggled to learn about just how essential these bees and their resin-spiked wax was. The common honeybee doesn't collect resin, so naturally I've been struggling to make do with common beeswax. Thank you so much for highlighting this aspect of these bees, I'll be making reference to your video in my free classes going forward.

    They call these stingless bees 'kelulut' here, and recently farmers have developed a vacuum-based device to suck out and harvest the honey without impacting the hive too much in the process.
    Compared to using knives to stab and cut the balls, which disturbs the hive enough that the bees had to spend extra effort rebuilding the nest, the honey vacuum uses a needle to prick each bulb and suck out the content, leaving the rest of the nest virtually untouched.

    I wish to have more of these videos of other species of bees, so that people can know what species are endangered from extinction, instead of mistaking the honey bee to be as risk.
