Lestrimelitta limao

Lestrimelitta limao is a neotropical eusocial bee species found in Brazil and Panama and is part of the Apidae family. It is a species of stingless bees that practices obligate nest robbing. They have never been spotted foraging from flowers, an observation that supports their raiding behavior. Because of their lack of hind corbicula, they must raid to obtain enough protein in their diet in the form of pollen and nectar. Lestrimelitta limao secrete a lemon-scented alarm allomone, from which they receive their name, in order to conduct successful raids. L. limao are hypothesized to produce poisonous honey that is toxic if consumed by humans. Because robber bees are so rare and difficult to observe, there is a limited scope of information available.
== Description ==
The Lestrimelitta limao species is divided into the workers, males and queens within each colony. Males are about the same size as workers, but the queens are noticeably larger. All members of the species are of shiny black coloration with hairs sparsely found on the body and densely found of the femora and tibiae. The hairs on the tibiae are short and yellow, while the sparse body hairs are black. The wings of L. limao contain barely noticeable cubital veins. Additionally they are identifiable by their lack of a functional worker corbiculae,[2] elongated gut, fewer olfactory discs, and through their unique cleptobioticbehavior. A L. limao colony is generally composed of guards, workers, and scouts that all work towards raiding neighboring stingless bee colonies. There is no job specialization according to age.
