Little is known about the biology and life cycle of the Australian stingless bee, Austroplebeia australis (Friese). The ontogenic times for developing offspring, as well as the longevity of adults, drive the overall life cycle of a social colony. The developmental times for brood within stingless bee species which build cluster-type nests, such as A. australis, are as yet unreported. A technique was...
The greatest diversity of stingless bee species is found in warm tropical regions, where brood thermoregulation is unnecessary for survival. Although Austroplebeia australis (Friese) naturally occurs in northern regions of Australia, some populations experience extreme temperature ranges, including sub-zero temperatures. In this study, the temperature was monitored in A. australis colonies’ brood...
