Wikipedia Abstract

Trigona corvina (Cockerell, 1913) is a species of stingless bees that lives primarily in Central and South America. In Panama, they are sometimes known as zagaƱas. They live in protective nests high in the trees, but they can be extremely aggressive and territorial over their resources. They use their pheromones to protect their food sources and to signal their location to nest mates. This black stingless bees of the tribe Meliponini can be parasitic toward citrus trees but also helpful for crop pollination.
