Abstract

A stingless bee apiary, also known as a meliponary, is a managed location where stingless bee hives and colonies are kept and maintained for stingless beekeeping. Such an apiary can take various forms, including a tree with multiple stingless bee hives, a tree with a single stingless bee hive, a house where hives are hung on rafters or walls, or specialized housing structures designed specifically for stingless bees.
