Dintlha

It is one of only a few insects besides bees that make and store their own honey.1

A single nest can house anywhere from 3,500 to 18,700 wasps.1

In Los Reyes Metzontla, Mexico, the Popoloca people eat its honey and larvae, harvesting them when the moon is between its last quarter and waning gibbous.1

It helps pollinate avocados, carrying avocado pollen on its hairy head, thorax and legs.1

Scientists have studied it as a natural control for Diaphorina citri, a pest that spreads citrus greening disease.1
