| dc.description.abstract | Stingless bees or dammer bees are found in most parts of the world and these bees considered as valuable domestic species. Rearing of these bees is called as meliponiculture, (Heard, 1999). Meliponiculture has been practiced in many countries including various parts of Latin America. Stingless bees occur in all tropical regions of the world. Hundreds of species have been described. These belong to the super family Apoidea, family Apidae and sub family Meliponinae, which is one among three subfamilies of Apidae, which consists of eight genera, having 15 sub-genera. Meliponinae consists of two tribes Meliponini and Trigonini (Wille,1983). Trigona is the largest and most widely distributed genus, which includes 130 species under ten sub-genera. Melipona consists of 50 species and confined to the Neotropics. All Asian and African stingless bee species belong to the tribe Trigonini. The various genera in this tribe include Trigona, Plebeia.
