This stingless bee colony was nesting in the base of an epiphytic fern growing on a coconut tree. The fern base housing the bees is being removed to transfer into a hive. These T. biroi in the Philippines are common in the wild and are kept in hives of coconut shells or wooden boxes. Like in Australia, there is a move from hunting these nests in the wild towards propagating them in boxes. | Sugarbag Bees
