Explanation:

Stingless bees are a large group of bees, comprising the tribe Meliponini (sometimes called stingless honey bees) in the family Apidae. They are closely related to the common honey bees, carpenter bees, orchid bees and bumblebees. The common name is slightly misleading, as a great many bee species, especially in the family Andrenidae, are incapable of stinging. Stingless bees can be found in most tropical or subtropical regions of the world, such as Australia, Africa, Southeast Asia and parts of Mexico and Brazil.
