Very little is known on #stingless #bee mating and queen #behaviour. I was very happy to support student and stingless bee specialist Francisco Bulle Bueno during his work.
There are a lot of cool pictures and behavioural descriptions in this article, have a look:

About a decade ago I bought a piece of #amber with ancient #StinglessBees (#Meliponini). Today we put them under the #microscope. You can even see the #corbicula! Looks like she might have been carrying #pollen when she got stuck? Second photo taken for artistic purposes, but you can clearly see the #wing.
