Meliponiculture is the practice of working with stingless bees. Stingless bees are among the most evolved and build their nests in hollow tree trunks with small openings to protect themselves against other creatures. This ancient practice developed long before the Europeans arrived to the Americas. The Mayans widely practiced it and, to this day, those who partake in meliponiculture respect the traditions of their ancestors.
