Near Sihanoukville Cambodia. There were many on these fallen tree flowers after a rain.

I don't 'keep' these or harvest their honey, I just like having them around. I do provide habitat for them. They love cracks in stone walls and bamboo tubes if they are protected. I drill holes in bamboo and hang them between 1.5-2 metres high, and build small sections of wall with voids.

I love the social stingless bees (we only have native solitary bees in NZ)

these aren't an Apis but Trigona spp.

Thanks, I had a small brain glitch there. I was thinking about A. Cerana when I posted.
