Hypotrigons sp. worker (small black) and Lipotriches (Maynenomia) testacea f (hovering). The latter is an good Apis mimic. Honeybees can´t handle the nectarless eggplant flowers, though, as these need to be sonicated ("buzzed") to release pollen, a trick Apis is unable to perform. Hypotrigona on the other hand is small enough to extract pollen through the openings at the anther tips.
