I love when specimens come with super specific collection data 🚢

This is the Dwarf Honey Bee
( florea)
BioQuipBugs

The dwarf honey bee (or red dwarf honey bee) has a much wider distribution
than its sister species, Apis andreniformis. Apis florea have open nests and
small colonies, which makes them more susceptible to predation than cavity
nesters with large numbers of defensive workers. The species is an important
pollinator in many parts of its range and its nests are occasionally exploited
as a source of wild honey
