N2 - Stingless bees collect pollen and nectar from flowers to feed themselves and their colonies. However, stingless bees also collect the sticky and often smelly saps (resins) that plants produce to ward off herbivores and microorganisms. In this article, Sara Leonhardt explains the amazing uses of resins by stingless bees in Australia and Borneo, that she discovered during her PhD studies.
