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

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

Sch'el piztga

  • Sgratta ora l'aguigl d'avieul e sfradenta il lieu.
  • Sche la persuna ha difficultads da respirar, unfladiras da la fatscha u da la gula, u sch'ella sa senta sco da svanir, è quai ina urgenza allergica: clama tes numer d'urgenza e duvra sia penna d'adrenalina, sch'ella ha ina.

Clama adina l'emprim tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911). Quai è in cussegl general d'emprim agid, betg in cussegl medicinal. Basa da l'emprim agid

Resta en segirezza

  • Na tutga, na piglia e na tizza mai in animal selvadi, gnanc in pitschen, ed era sch'el para da durmir u d'esser mort.
  • Dà spazi a l'animal. Sche ti scuntras in, resta calm, va plaun enavos e lascha ir el per sia via.
  • Sch'in tal animal ta piztga: resta calm, na ta mova betg, clama tes numer d'urgenza (112, 000, 911) u va spert en in ospital. Ta regorda co ch'el veseva or, ina foto gida.

Fatgs

1

A colony defends itself with a warning call called piping, which is answered by a loud, coordinated hissing from the whole colony.1

2

It recycles wax from an old nest when it builds a new one close by, a behaviour other honey bees do not show.1

3

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

4

A colony was recorded in Malta in 2024, the first fully established colony ever found in Europe.1

5

Its main natural enemy is the O. smaragdina weaver ant.1
