Stingless bees, sometimes called stingless honey bees or simply meliponines, are a large group of bees (about 500 species). 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. Wiki.
