Melipona Melanoventer
''Melipona'' is a genus of stingless bees, widespread in warm areas of the Neotropics, from Sinaloa and Tamaulipas (México) to Tucumán and Misiones (Argentina). About 70 species are known.Grüter, C. 2020. ''Stingless Bees: Their Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution''. ''Springer Nature'', 385 pp. The largest producer of honey from ''Melipona'' bees in Mexico is in the state of Yucatán where bees are studied at an interactive park called "Bee Planet" which is within the Cuxtal Ecological Reserve. Several species are kept for honey production, such as in Brazil, where some are well-known enough to have common names, including ''uruçu'', ''mandaçaia'', ''jandaíra'', and ''manduri''. ''Melipona'' honey has long been used by humans and now is of minor commercial importance. Research is going on in improved beekeeping techniques. The Melipona bee is the only pollinator known to pollinate the vanilla plant. Pollination by Melipona bee has only occurred in Mexico and almost all va ...

Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger
Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger (19 November 1775 – 10 May 1813) was a German entomologist and zoologist. Illiger was the son of a merchant in Braunschweig. He studied under the entomologist Johann Christian Ludwig Hellwig, Johann Hellwig, and later worked on the zoological collections of Johann Centurius Hoffmannsegg. Illiger was professor and director of the "zoological museum" (which is the Natural History Museum, Berlin, Natural History Museum of Berlin in the present day) from its formation in 1810 until his death. He was the author of ''Prodromus systematis mammalium et avium'' (1811), which was an overhaul of the Carl Linnaeus, Linnaean system. It was a major influence on the adoption of the concept of the Family (biology), family. He also edited the ''Magazin für Insektenkunde'', widely known as "Illiger's Magazine". In 1811 he introduced the taxonomic order Proboscidea for elephants, the American Mastodon, American mastodon and the woolly mammoth. He also described the ...

Melipona Bicolor
''Melipona bicolor'' , commonly known as Guaraipo or Guarupu, is a eusocial bee found primarily in South America. It is an inhabitant of the Araucaria Forest and the Atlantic Rainforest, and is most commonly found from South to East Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. It prefers to nest close to the soil, in hollowed trunks or roots of trees. ''M. bicolor'' is a member of the tribe Meliponini, and is therefore a stingless bee. This species is unique among the stingless bees species because it is polygynous, which is rare for eusocial bees. Taxonomy and phylogeny ''M. bicolor'' belongs to the genus ''Melipona'' and the tribe Meliponini, which comprises about 500 species of stingless bees. Although they are called stingless, these bees do have a stinger, but it is extremely small and cannot be used for defense.Michener, C D. The bees of the World. Johns Hopkins University Press, 972 pp. ''M. bicolor'' is closely related to the other 40 known species in the genus ''Melipona' ...

Melipona Beecheii
''Melipona beecheii'' is a species of eusocial stingless bee. It is native to Central America from the Yucatán Peninsula in the north to Costa Rica in the south. ''M. beecheii'' was cultivated in the Yucatán Peninsula starting in the pre-Columbian era by the ancient Maya civilization. The Mayan name for ''M. beecheii'' is ''xunan kab'', which translates roughly to "regal lady bee". ''M. beecheii'' serves as the subject of various Mayan religious ceremonies. Taxonomy and phylogeny ''M. beecheii'' is a member of the family Apidae of eusocial bees within the order Hymenoptera. The subfamily Meliponini is commonly referred to as "stingless bees". The genus ''Melipona'' contains nearly 50 other species. Description and identification ''M. beecheii'' has a golden-yellowish and brown striped body with translucent wings. ''M. beecheii'' has small, white hairs covering the head, thorax, and abdomen. Queens, workers, and drones are all roughly the same size. Moreover, all members of ...
