Chokwadi
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
