Thanks

Dear Chulanta,
Hello ...
I'm coming from South Sulawesi, a big island in eastern part of Indonesia. In my areas we have Apis trigona, an endemic stingless bee. Commonly local people used them as food especially eggs and immature stages (larval, pupae). The another products is honey and propolis. Their taste and colour is bitter and darkest than Apis mellifera product.
Thanks for Arvind Singh and Masoud Latifian for added literature here. I can learning more about stingless bee. Especially for Chulanta, I hope you allowed me join in your conversation with very limited information about stingless bees in my areas. This is very interesting discussion improving my knowledge about stingless bee. Thank you...
regards,
Sri
@Sri Nuraminah: you are always welcome, Happy to have you here.
There are many paper for identification of stingless bee in web of science.
