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

Indlela yokusibona
- 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
Ivamise ukudidaniswa 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
Amandla obuthi
Ubuthi buphuma ngodosi.
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

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
Uma sihlaba
- Khipha udosi lwenyosi ngokulukhuhla bese upholisa indawo.
- Uma umuntu ephefumula kanzima, ebuso noma emphinjeni kuvuvukala, noma ezizwa ezoquleka, lesi yisimo esiphuthumayo se-allergy: shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo futhi usebenzise ipeni lakhe le-adrenaline uma enalo.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.

Amaqiniso
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
