Parece MOSCA mas é ABELHA! Não mate a Abelha Verde (Euglossini)

Did you find a bright green insect and think it was a blowfly? BEWARE! In this video, I'll show you the amazing Green Bee (Euglossini), also known as the Orchid Bee. They are essential to nature, and many people end up killing them out of pure confusion. In this video you will see: ✅ How to identify a Green Bee and not confuse it with a fly. ✅ The behavior of these solitary bees in an INPA box. ✅ Why they are the greatest pollinators of orchids in our fauna. Euglossini are a tribe of the Apidae family with more than 187 species. They are famous for their metallic colors (greens, blues, and violets) and for their "true tongue" (Euglossa), which they use to reach nectar in the deepest flowers. Unlike social bees like the Jataí, many Euglossini bees have solitary habits, but here at Meliponário Lançoni I show how they can share the nest harmoniously. #greenbee #euglossini #orchidbees #stinglessbees #meliponary #nature #curiosities #solitarybee 🐝 Did you like the video?
