Inside the Hive Brood (eggs), honey pots (honey in propolis bag) at the upper right. 3 in 1 (Honey, Pollen and Propolis) the most delicious honey ever I tasted. White honey, processed pollen and thin cover propolis. Nutritious and delicious, fruity taste and irresistible. More delicious than honeys that produced by Honey Bees like Italian bee honey,Asiatic wild honey bee (most aggressive, cannot be domesticated at all but proper harvesting will save the colony by just getting the honey comb section, traditional method kill all technique by burning the entire hive then cook the bees both babies and adult [pulutan]) and Philippine native honey bees (can be domesticated but aggressive if you don't know the technique on how to handle them). By nature honey bees are nice at all, they won't attack human or other animals. Only killer bees or Africanized honey bees are the most aggressive even you are at freeze they will attack you. Just never stop running against killer bees until you find protective shelter. Back on honey bees, they attack when threaten, defense for their hives or when you hitting them, one sting, release pheromone to call back up to attack you and others that near the incident and they will die when they lost their needle 'cos it is part of their abdomen. Unlike the queen honey bees with sting, wasps and hornets they will struck as much as they can for defensive purposes. Defend the nest / hive. When they are flying or landed on your skin don't hit them, it will sting you before your hand landed to that bee, wasp or hornet. Just calm, honey bees collect liquids like water and perspire / sweat to maintain the hive temperature [air conditioning unit system]. Honey bees collect 4 types of things, nectar processed to become honey, pollen as their food, water for air conditioning and liquids from trees (dagta) as propolis for building hive, holds honey, pollen and babies, for cover defense against other animals and insects. From coconut hive to box hive, Trigona Spp. Bees can live inside old guitar, unused big speaker, woods with holes, upside down flower pot (paso), unused old water jug and many other containers that they feel they are secure and habitable for them. And these bees are good pollinators of coconut, fruit trees, vegetables and gardens. Farmer friendly species. The guards near the opening entrance. Trigona Spp. Stingless Honey Bees are aggressive, too when they are threaten. They attack the soft part of your skin like eyelid, lips, face, neck and they tangle in your hair.

When you are just passing by under the tree where the hive is. They are calm and you will not attack you unless, you disturb them by poking them or stone them they will attack you. When one sting it will die in minute because its stinger and abdomen will break. And releases pheromone the hundreds of bees from that colony stings you to death, like what happen in Mindanao in the Philippines and in China. Family in trouble because the broken branch fell the bees thought that family cut the branch and they are being attacked. Traditional harvest style is wrong. They burn the entire hive for honey and cook the brood, larvae and young bees as pulutan (side dish) for drinkers. The correct manner to harvest it. You smoke them first and will calm in nature. Then cut the sides of the hive where the bees hide their honeycomb. And in several days they restore or rebuild it and you have honey again to harvest. This kind of bee colony cannot be domesticated inside the box. They just love to hung under the higher branches. Apis Mellifera (Western Honey Bees / Italian Honey Bees) By the way Apis means one queen. Highly domesticated. This bee species are calm even if you don't have protective bee suit. Bee suit for safety specially in bee farms the management will angry or you will fired if you are not wearing the suit. The bee will sting you when you accidentally drop the frame they will attack the same manner as the Giant Asian Honey Bees. Very dangerous among people with asthma and allergy they will suffers from shortness of breathing. Bee waggle dance - food source. The queen with young workers. Larvae and eggs. Honeycomb Honeycomb harvest Apis Cerana (Eastern Honey Bee / Native Honey Bee) Apis Cerana (known as Ligwan/Laywan in Philippines) sucking nectar from a weed flower. This native honey bees are domesticated but aggressive always have a distant to its hive. They have stings, too. Always wear bees suit when checking them. But some experts or professionals they don't wear bee suit, they just wear the same clothes without being laundry and the native honey bees thinks that man is an allied worker. They knew the smell of that man. But in factory its safety first. Native honey bee sipping nectar Makahiya flower (Philippine touch me not flower) Nectar from different flowers turn honey.

Carpenter Bee Philippine Carpenter Beehive Philippine Green Carpenter Bee Brown Carpenter Beehive, they bore on wood and tree branches. Blue Carpenter Bee Green male carpenter bee, carpenter bees has stingers, avoid them. Mostly black and brown in color. I do always see this kind of carpenter bee hive fallen, the new residences are spiders and small cockroaches. When I climbed a tree a year ago I saw similar to this one. But I didn't remove it or hang on it cos it will break and I will fall. Because dried branches are suitable for carpenter bee to construct its hive. Squash Bee or Pumpkin Bee Allodapine bee Nestling in strong wood. Mason Bee Mason beehive in other countries, mason bees are pets. There are varieties of mason bee styles. Mason bees are stingless. The female mason bees live and lay eggs and cover it with mud.Similar to masonry. Cemented her hive using mud to prevent the bird predators. Mason bees are good for the bee keepers. People in other parts of the world helping the mason bees obtain good hives. They are good pollinator for trees and crops. And it is very easy to construct using grass stalks, recycling papers, boring woods, pipes, and some other useful cylindrical holes for mason bees. Ground Bee / Miner Bee / Mining Bee Alkali Bee Build nest in alkali ground. Polyester Bee or Cellophane Bee Leaf cutter Bee Wool carder bee Digger Bee Orchids Bee They fed on dead insects. Vulture Bee in Latin America They are belongs to Stingless bees, but fed on dead animals rather than nectar and pollen. Ant like style of collecting food for future reserve. Neon Cuckoo Bee Sweat Bee This bee is stingless like the mason bee. Man's friend like the mason bees are calm with people. Sweat bees are mostly on Africa. They attracted in the salt of human sweat. Even western honey bees during summer they tap human perspiration used for hive air-conditioning in absence of water. Occasionally other bees do it. Just calm of honeybees, when you slap them it will sting you before you may hit them. New Zealand Sweat Bees look like Trigona stingless honey bees. Sweat bee Sweat bee look like ceratina bee.

Wasps Wasp Black flower wasp Paper Wasp also abundant when it is hot season in the Philippines. I got stung when I trimmed the row of santan flowers. I didn't knew that they had a nest underneath the branch. My right hand turns like a hand of a fat lady. They are calm when foraging and just watching their nest, but when you move the branch or touching their nest they will sting you. You will remove them in a place were there are many people passing, because they are dangerous to the people with asthma or allergies. You will remove them using smoke from dried leaves, when they are on leave remove the nest. Relocate or destroy it. When you relocate most of the time it will attack by ants because there are no adult wasps to protect the pupae with little amount of honey smells by ants. Another things in bees and wasps do not move or just calm when they are landed on your skin. Bees are just collecting sweat in absence of water for air-conditioning used inside their hives. Wasp maybe drink sweat or just rest. When you try to hit them they will sting you, so just calm and relax. Wasp sting effect.
