Native Stingless bees with pollen pants
These bees sure are busy!
They appear to be nesting inside an old plastic fountain. I’ve also seen them nest in walls, cracked concrete, really anywhere that’s good for them.
The bees are also carrying big balls of pollen. Because of the position of the pollen on their legs, it looks like they’re wearing puffy pants ❤
Unidentified, Tribe Meliponini
