Schwarziana
Genus of bees / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schwarziana is a relatively small genus of South American stingless bees. Like other stingless bees, Schwarziana are eusocial, with large colonies primarily composed of workers and one queen. Unusually for stingless bees, colonies are formed in underground chambers rather than in tree cavities.[2] Workers are approximately 6.5mm long[1][3]
