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

Xibaar

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
