Which Way To The Pollen?

These Australian stingless bees are only 4mm or 3/16" long. As the name suggests they have no sting although they can try biting with their mandibles.

Their hives are in hollows in trees, in fallen logs or crevices in rocks.

Hives only produce about 1kg or 2.2lb of honey per year so it's a delicacy to be savoured.
