Austroplebeia Australis
''Austroplebeia australis'' (previously and originally known as ''Trigona australis'') is a stingless bee species in the tribe Meliponini first validly described by Heinrich Friese in 1898. Within Australia, they are occasionally referred to as bush bees. The native range of ''A. australis'' extends more than 2,000 km, from the districts of Fitzroy and Central West Queensland, through the Darling Downs and into northern New South Wales, but is thought to be no further south than 31°04'S (Example: Hat Head National Park). Colony cycle Activity Colonies of ''A. australis'' tend to be active all year round. The daily activity period, however, is longer in the Southern Hemisphere's warmer months, late September to March. The intensity of these daily flights is greatest in September, and least intense in May. A temperature threshold exists on all of this activity. Flight and foraging activity is not observed until an ambient temperature rise of greater than 20 °C. This ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Austroplebeia Cassiae
''Austroplebeia cassiae'' is a small eusocial stingless bee first described by Cockerell in 1910 and it is found in Australia (North and Eastern Queensland). Etymology The name 'cassiae' was given because the first specimens were collected from '' Cassia'' flowers. Description and identification The workers (3.4-4.5 mm) are darker in coloured compared to '' A. australis''. The hind edge of their thorax usually only has two ochre or cream spots, or no marking at all. Their face has a thick white hair with at least one full marking hidden underneath it. The hair on the worker's face is much denser in ''A. cassiae'' than in A. australis. The males are brightly marked. File:Austroplebeia symei female.jpg, ''Austroplebeia cassiae'' worker.

Austroplebeia Cincta
''Austroplebeia cincta'' is a small eusocial stingless bee first described by Mocsáry in 1898 and it is found across Australia (far North Queensland) and Papua New Guinea (East and Centre). Description and identification The workers (3-4.3 mm in Papua New Guinea and 3-3.5 mm in Australia) can be distinguished by their body pilosity and broad yellow bands on the top of their thorax similar to '' A. essingtoni''. The hair in the face and other parts of the thorax is much finer than other species. They have bold yellow markings in the face and a yellow patch on the side of the thorax making them easy to tell apart from other species. Most of the times is vivid yellow, but it can also range from dark yellow to reddish brown. Unlike the rest of ''Austroplebeia'' species, the males are darker than the workers, lacking the thorax markings. Nest building The brood chamber is distinctive where new brood cells are waxed together into concentric layers different to other species of '' ...

Austroplebeia Magna
''Austroplebeia magna'' is a small eusocial stingless bee Stingless bees, sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (about 550 described species), comprising the tribe Meliponini (or subtribe Meliponina according to other authors). They belong in the family A ... first described by Dollin, Dollin and Rasmussen in 2015 and it is found in Australia (Northern Northern Territory and far North-West Queensland). Etymology The Latin feminine adjective, 'magna', meaning 'large', refers to a broad section of their legs (Basitarsus III) and long sting lancet in workers of this species. Description and identification ''A. magna'' is very similar to A. cassiae in size and colouration. The workers (3.5-4.5mm) are darker in colour compared to '' A. australis''. The hind edge of their thorax usually only has two ochre or cream spots. Their face has a thick white hair with at least one full marking hidden underneath it. Sometimes workers have ...

Austroplebeia Essingtoni
''Austroplebeia essingtoni'' is a small eusocial stingless bee first described by Cockerell in 1905 and it is found in Australia (Northern areas of Western Australia and Northern Territory). They are one of the smallest stingless bees in Australia and can survive in very arid areas with annual rainfalls down to 300 mm. Etymology The name 'essingtoni' was given because the first specimens were collected from Port Essington on the north coast of Arnhem Land, Australia in 1840. Description and identification The workers (3.2-3.9mm) usually have distinct cream bands on the side and rear of the thorax and broad cream marking on the lower face. Most workers are noticeably smaller than those of the other Austroplebeia ''Austroplebeia'' is a stingless bee (Meliponini) genus in the family Apidae.

Stingless Bee
Stingless bees, sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (about 550 described species), comprising the tribe Meliponini (or subtribe Meliponina according to other authors). They belong in the family Apidae, and are closely related to common honey bees, carpenter bees, orchid bees, and bumblebees. Meliponines have stingers, but they are highly reduced and cannot be used for defense, though these bees exhibit other defensive behaviors and mechanisms. Meliponines are not the only type of bee incapable of stinging: all male bees and many female bees of several other families, such as Andrenidae, also cannot sting. Some stingless bees have powerful mandibles and can inflict painful bites. Geographical distribution Stingless bees can be found in most tropical or subtropical regions of the world, such as Australia, Africa, Southeast Asia, and tropical America.Michener, C D.

Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell
Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell (1866–1948) was an American zoology, zoologist, born at Norwood, England, and brother of Sydney Cockerell. He was educated at the Middlesex Hospital Medical School, and then studied botany in the field in Colorado in 1887–90. Subsequently, he became a taxonomist and published numerous papers on the Hymenoptera, Hemiptera, Mollusca and plants, as well as publications on paleontology and evolution. Personal life Cockerell was born in Norwood, Greater London and died in San Diego, California. He married Annie Sarah Fenn in 1891 (she died in 1893) and Wilmatte Porter Cockerell, Wilmatte Porter in 1900. In 1901, he named the ultramarine blue chromodorid ''Mexichromis porterae'' (now ''Felimare porterae'') in her honor.
