Stingless bees get sugars from sap-sucking bugs' secretions (honeydew), especially in periods of scarce floral resources. Here is a species of Trigona feeding on honeydew produced by membracid bugs. #pollinators #Colombia @vhgonzab @mmlopezu

@RTC_Ento @zucchinibeemama @MottaBees Probably. They also seem to have longer legs and tarsal segments than other bees (e.g., honey bees)
