p.1 #1 · Stingless Bee - Trigona


A few different ones here from different times, about 4-5mm long, always on the move. Right now they are collecting resin from a hole in a pine tree (at the scout camp - where else). A series on the life on the tree coming up soon.

1. http://onbeingmark.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/p1840554_filtered.jpg
2. Collecting the resin.

3. Transferring it to rear leg.

5. http://onbeingmark.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/p1840540_filtered.jpg

And one recently stranded at sundown on a cold and wet day. I moved it to the flower and eventually to my hand and it flew away.

Edit : I forget to number them.

Absolutely wonderful set! What a gorgeous little bee.
I love the textures on its back. My fav would have to be the two where its collecting the resin and transferring it to its back leg. So are these little bees active in winter at Brisbane at the minute? Do you know if these guys are found in Victoria.

Thanks guys. They are little beauties. I don't think they reach far into Vic, if at all. See here : http://www.aussiebee.com.au/infobooklets.html

Good looking bee and great images. I really like #5 (I'm a sucker for iridescence on wings) and #7 for the pose/comp.
