On an amazing trip to Thailand to get some real education about honey bees (Apis), and stingless honey bees (Melipona). Just a few days in and have seen some amazing things, learned so much, met some incredible people, can't wait to see what else is in store. Got stung by Cerana, Florea, and Dorsata. Got bit by some melipona species that I have no idea, but they should be called biting bees not stingless bees 😄. We got to see first hand, Tropilealapse and Euvarroa. Here is a taste of what we are seeing.
