| Stingless Bee - Trigona carbonariaFamily APIDAEThis page contains pictures and information about Stingless Bees that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
Stingless Bees are active all year round in Brisbane. In winter there are less activities but will forge on warmer sunny day. They do not sting, but will defend by biting if their nest is disturbed. Stingless Bees are social bees with very large colony. They build their nest inside living or dead tree trunk. The first picture shows a bee is heading toward home with the two baskets on its hind legs full of nectar and pollen. The second picture is the entry of their nest is at the tree trunk about 0.5 meter above ground. We can smell the honey meters away. The above pictures show more different Stingless Bee nests.
