Red dwarf honey bee
The red dwarf honey bee is a small, wild honey bee that lives in southern and southeastern Asia. It is one of the smallest honey bees and builds its nest in the open, on branches, instead of inside a hive. It is an important pollinator in many parts of its range.1

Engeri y'okukitegeera
- A worker is 7 to 10 mm long.1
- Its overall colour is red-brown.1
- Old workers have a red first abdomen segment.1
- It builds one exposed comb, usually on a branch or shrub.1
Kitera okutabulwa ne: Apis andreniformis, its sister species, is generally darker. In old bees, the first abdomen segment is completely black, while in this species it is red.1

When it senses predators, it hisses, shimmers and nests in dense foliage to hide, and it can produce a sticky barrier to block raiding ants.1
Bwe kibojja
- Kalakata oggyemu eriggwa ly'enjuki era onyogoze ekifo.
- Omuntu bw'aba nga tassa bulungi, ng'azimbye mu maaso oba mu mumiro, oba ng'awulira ng'agenda kuzirika, buno bubenje bwa alergy obw'amangu: kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze era kozesa empiso ye eya adrenaline (adrenaline pen) bw'aba nga agirina.
Bulijjo sooka kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911). Buno bulagirizi bwa bujjanjabi obusooka obwa bulijjo, si kuwabula kwa musawo. Obujjanjabi obusooka obw'omusingi
Weekuume
- Tokwatako, tokwata wadde okusoomooza ensolo ey'omu nsiko, ne bw'eba ntono, era ne bw'eba erabika nga yeebase oba nga efudde.
- Gireke n'ebbanga. Bw'osisinkana emu, beera mukkakkamu, dda emabega mpola era gireke egende mu kkubo lyayo.
- Bw'emu ekubojja: beera mukkakkamu, totambula, kuba ennamba y'ebigwa bitalaze (112, 000, 911) oba tuuka mu ddwaliro mangu. Jjukira bwe yali efaanana, ekifaananyi kiyamba.
Tekikunoonya. Kikozesa obusagwa bwakyo okukwata emmere oba okwekuuma, era kyandisinze kwekweka. Ebirala ku kwekuuma

Ebituufu
A colony defends itself with a warning call called piping, which is answered by a loud, coordinated hissing from the whole colony.1
It recycles wax from an old nest when it builds a new one close by, a behaviour other honey bees do not show.1
Its waggle dance is performed on the horizontal top of the comb, where the comb wraps around the branch, not on a vertical face as in many other honey bees.1
A colony was recorded in Malta in 2024, the first fully established colony ever found in Europe.1
Its main natural enemy is the O. smaragdina weaver ant.1
