The project is aimed to highlight the diversity of stingless bees, the main pollinators of neotropical rainforests, and to re-evaluate the contribution of traditional meliponiculture in sustaining the pollination service. The robust collaborations with South American researchers, conservation managers, and beekeepers have been precious to make it happen. The research was developed in the Peruvian and the Bolivian states both in the wild area and in apiaries. For each state, it has been created a map on INaturalist where stingless bees observations have been recorded during the fieldwork.

The team strongly believes that sharing knowledge is the power for the preservation of this 'maravillosas criaturas' and that is why the project landed on a citizen science platform like INaturalist. So far the observations keep growing no more from us but from local people.
