Austroplebeia is a stingless bee genus in the family Apidae. The genus was erected by Jesus Santiago Moure in 1961. [1] [2] The genus comprises five described species endemic to Australia and New Guinea. [3] Austroplebeia are more closely related to the African stingless bees than rest of the species found in Asia and Australia. [4]
Beekeeping at Curlwaa Public School, c. 1940. Beekeeping in Australia is a commercial industry with around 25,000 registered beekeepers owning over 670,000 hives in 2018. [1] Most are found in the eastern states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania as well as the south-west of Western Australia.
The native species of bee in Australia are not true honey bees, which are native to Europe, Asia and Africa. As a relatively primitive social species of native bees, they do not produce honey in great quantities. In cool-climate areas of Australia, all the honey the bees produce is needed by the swarm to live through winter. [5] [6]
Austroplebeia cassiae is a small eusocial stingless bee first described by Cockerell in 1910 [2] and it is found in Australia (North and Eastern Queensland). [3]
A Maya stingless bee hive: A piece of hollow log provides a home for meliponine bees in Belize. The stingless bees Melipona beecheii and M. yucatanica are the primary native bees cultured in Central America, though a few other species are reported as being occasionally managed (e.g., Trigona fulviventris and Scaptotrigona mexicana). [133]
The use of stingless bees is referred to as meliponiculture, which is named after bees of the tribe Meliponini such as Melipona quadrifasciata in Brazil. This variation of beekeeping still occurs today. [23] For instance, in Australia, the stingless bee Tetragonula carbonaria is kept for the production of honey. [24]
