    A great part of this excellent story is that the Exterminator was informed enough to stop in his tracks and report the species. We need more exterminators that care, as well as many young entomologists in the making like that little girl! Great video all around, thanks for sharing such interesting stories. I also think it's high time we named the species Anika bees :) agreed!

    The smallest bees that make honey are called mariolas and they're stingless. I saw them and tried the honey in Costa Rica at a friend's house. He had several colonies hanging under the eves in special boxes and he opened one for me. The honey was dark and very sweet. They use it as medicine for eye infection or irritation. I wonder if it's the same species? Costa Rica and Brazil share a lot of other species. If not the same they're very very similar.

    • @otavioluis5774

      @comfortablynumb9342 3 роки тому +10

      @THE TRACKCAR the Costa Rican mariolas are somewhere between rare and common. Everyone knows about them but few have them. I inquired and a wild caught hive in a little box was about $30. I think they're smaller than the Brazilian type in the video. They were the size of an average mosquito. And the box had way way more than I thought it would. Tens of thousands. The wax inside was a mixed up mess, not like a regular honey bee hive with a plan. Just a box full of wax and honey, I was surprised. They swarmed us and tried to sting but they were harmless. Neat critters, I was thankful my friend showed me.

      Wow 😮 very interesting 🧐, you’re lucky 🍀 you got to see& taste 👅 their honey 🍯 !
      I live i California , & I’ve noticed year after year . Bees 🐝 are disappearing , and it makes me very sad 😢. Because no bees 🐝, who’s going to pollinate our fruits & vegetables ??
      I think 🤔 is due to pollution, and Specially global 🌍 warming !!
      And unfortunately us humans , have contributed to their decline !
      And if we don’t do something ASAP , about it we’re in grave trouble 👿 !
      I read in a magazine , that Walmart is working on robotic bees 🐝, to pollinate plants , vegetables & fruit trees . Because we’re in a dyer situation !
      Unlike EX - P , Trump that said Global warming is fake news 📰 !!
      But he’s WRONG 😑, WRONG , WRONG 😑 !!
      This is serious 🧐 & we’re all going to be affected !
      And we should all care , and do our part , like planting trees 🌳, flowers 🌸 🌺 💐 to attract them !
      Specially here in California , with the drought & destructive fires 🔥 !!
      It makes me sad 😢 & honestly going to Space has made things worse !
      Because they broke the Ozone barrier , I’m not a Doctor 👩‍⚕️ but why do we have . High rates of Cancer in Adults 🧑 👩 & now in very young children 👶. And as if this wasn’t enough , now I read on a magazine that certain Sunscreens 🧴 cause Cancer !
      And it upsets 😡 me that , why do they used Cancer causing ingredients ??
      When they can be done without ??
      Just like everything else ???

    I had two hollowed out trunks with stingless bees when I lived in Tanzania.
    The trunk was cut into two and glued together with the bee wax you see in the video.
    We would scoop the bee wax "marbles" out every six months, squeeze out the delicious honey and then cover the bottom of the trunk with flour to avoid that the bees got stuck in the leaked honey. Lastly a banana was left inside because the bees would not fly out for the first two weeks while cleaning out all the flour. The banana was their breakfast, lunch and dinner.
    The honey is delicious! Less viscous and with a more sour taste.
    I miss those little guys...🐝
