Check out this great video showing the queen bee of a Tetragonula Carbonaria hive. Australian native stingless bee queens lay up to 300 eggs per day and live up to a year or more! She mates only once in her lifetime and afterwards loses her ability for flight.
Native stingless bees often outperform the European honey bee for the pollination of various crops.
Check out this great video of Australia’s most commonly cultivated stingless bee, the Tetragonula Carbonaria. Note the unique spiral pattern of the brood, a trademark of this particular species.
Australian native stingless bees convert excess nectar gathered from flowers into honey. This process is known as ripening.
In the ripening process bees add enzymes to the nectar by repetitively regurgitating it from their crop whilst fanning it with their wings to reduce its water content.
The addition of enzymes added in the regurgitation process and decreased water content prevents the honey from spoiling.
Native bees then store it in special pots made from propolis until later required.
