Nice show guys. These bees are also in Brasil, They are called "Abelha Jataí". Please note that Brasil speaks Portuguese and Abelha "Abeliah" means bee and Jataí "ja tah ee" is the name of the stingless bee that looks similar to the Australian native bees! I now live in North America and the bees here are Europeans and the feral Africanized bees but I have never seen the southern hemisphere stingless here.
You guys sure make it look easy. Your bees seem very calm. When I split, I have bees climbing everywhere and attacking me, why is that? By the way thanking you both for your video.
Great info …just got a native stingless beehive like this and the ants are rife around it and entrance arrived last night and found ants eating dead bees next to it…how do I make that propolis and wax to the entry ? What is the resin is it from the bees next? Given the hive has just been homed I can’t get in of course so any ideas how to do this wax mixture please. ( novice bee lover here)
I don't notice any hole in between the super chamber (top) and the middle clamber but a transparent plastic sheet. So I wonder how the bees goes up and store the homey in the super chamber. Nice if you could show us in the next video.
You need a propolis. The easiest you put some at the entrance box just like in the video, and put it on tree. Another way you melt it by mixing it with ethanol and pour it in the box covering inside surface and still need to put some at the entrance, once the ethanol dried up then there it is the smell of propolis that can attract the bees. Or you put a handful of propolis and you use fire torch and scrap it all over on the inside surface. If you have a sharp vision, you may found their entrance on tree, the active one will have lots of ins and outs of those bees. If the tree is within you property, you may cut it down to start with (I bet you won't), or you can do a grafting but you need to wait longer.
