These are less aggressive than any wild bees and also less swarming behavior and can be easily used for beekeeping.

Habitat:

They usually build multiple combs nest in some tree hallows and some man made structures. These bees can adapted to living in cavities in some human structures and in purpose-made hives, and their nesting habit means that they can potentially colonize temperate or mountain areas with prolonged winters or cold temperatures.
