The unsung garden heros: Trigona bees at Bawah Reserve

Trigona bee hives at Bawah Reserve, Indonesia

When we think of bees, honeybees often come to mind. However, at Bawah Reserve, a different type of bee quietly buzzes about, playing a vital role in maintaining the lush, vibrant gardens. These are the Trigona bees, small, stingless, and incredibly efficient pollinators that are indispensable to the health of our tropical paradise.

Trigona bees may be tiny, but their impact on the environment is immense. Unlike their honeybee cousins, Trigona bees are stingless, making them safe to be around and a perfect companion for the many species of plants found in Bawah Reserve. These bees are particularly effective at pollinating small flowers, often overlooked by larger insects, ensuring that even the most delicate blooms can flourish.

Their foraging habits also promote biodiversity. As they move from flower to flower, Trigona bees help to cross-pollinate a wide variety of plants. This not only strengthens the resilience of the local flora but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the gardens, making them a haven for other wildlife, including butterflies, birds, and beneficial insects.

 

Do trigona bees make honey?

Yes! Trigona bees contribute to the production of high-quality, nutrient-rich honey, which is known for its medicinal properties. While their honey yield is smaller compared to that of honeybees, it’s packed with antioxidants and is highly valued for its unique flavor.

Well they say " Honey from stingless bees may offer sweet perks without the tooth decay" 

 our trigona raw honey remains sweet to taste despite having considerably lower sugar content than regular honey,  but with a slightly sour undertone.
