Apidae
Apidae is the largest family within the superfamily Apoidea, containing at least 5700 species of bees. The family includes some of the most commonly seen bees, including bumblebees and honey bees, but also includes stingless bees (also used for honey production), carpenter bees, orchid bees, cuckoo bees, and a number of other less widely known groups. Taxonomy In addition to its historical classification (honey bees, bumble bees, stingless bees and orchid bees), the family Apidae presently includes all the genera formerly placed in the families Anthophoridae and Ctenoplectridae. Although the most visible members of Apidae are social, the vast majority of apid bees are solitary, including a number of cleptoparasitic species. The old family Apidae contained four tribes (Apinae: Apini, Euglossini and Bombinae: Bombini, Meliponini) which have been reclassified as tribes of the subfamily Apinae, along with all of the former tribes and subfamilies of Anthophoridae and the former f ...

Tetragonisca Angustula
''Tetragonisca angustula'' is a small eusocial stingless bee found in México, Central and South America. It is known by a variety of names in different regions (e.g.'' jataí, yatei, jaty, virginitas, angelitas inglesas, españolita, mariola, chipisas, virgencitas,'' and ''mariolitas''). A subspecies, ''Tetragonisca angustula fiebrigi'', occupies different areas in South America and has a slightly different coloration. ''T. angustula'' is a very small bee and builds unobtrusive nests, allowing it to thrive in urban areas. It also produces large amounts of honey, and is thus frequently kept in wooden hives by beekeepers. ''T. angustula'' hives are often overlooked, and since the bee lacks a stinger, it is not seen as a threat to humans. Many of their behaviors are concerned with colonizing a new nest and producing offspring, demonstrated by their swarming and nursing behaviors, however a special caste of ''T. angustula'' are soldiers who are slightly larger than the workers.
