Native Stingless bees with pollen pants

These bees sure are busy!

They appear to be nesting inside an old plastic fountain. I’ve also seen them nest in walls, cracked concrete, really anywhere that’s good for them.

The bees are also carrying big balls of pollen. Because of the position of the pollen on their legs, it looks like they’re wearing puffy pants ❤

Unidentified, Tribe Meliponini

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

A bee's work never stops-- in the case of the slender-scaped carpenter bee, it can literally go on all night! This species has been observed pollinating a flowering tree--Heterophragma quadriloculare-- that open opens its flowers at night; the relationship between bee and tree is exclusive, meaning that the slender-scaped carpenter bee is the primary pollinator of these trees.
