Bees with no Sting? Brazilian stingless bees!

Since I was little, I have followed my father Rodolfo Guimaraes Vieira Da Silva raising Brazilian stingless bees and as a volunteer at the NGO SOS Abelhas Sem Ferrão for environmental education for conservation and preservation of native species of plants and pollinators in Brazil. That bees is threatened with extinction, by human action, whether by the increasing use of pesticides and deforestation or by urbanization without concern for bees, planting exotic trees or even toxic trees for bees!

For the activities of Earth Tribe, Nature Biodiversity Challenge we can present Stingless Bees Workshops on public schools (municipal or state). Propose law project to prohib planting of Spatodea campanulata tree, by bee toxicity. For the activities of Earth Tribe, Nature Biodiversity Challeng according to Scouting Method we can present Stingless Bees Scout Specialty Workshops on Scouting Groups. Those iniatives can be also done online!

A lot of biomas will be positive impacted by these action. People can learn about an professional skill with service payment by environmental services. The honey and other bees superproduct's can solve poverty because poor families can beekeep with no sting near their homes! Planting brazilian native trees, flowers and other is good to prevent bee hungry on winter times. Brazil has about 340 of them are stingless bees, while people only remember the Apis mellifera, which is a foreign specie.
