Genus PseudapisJuly 23 2024Buket Alue Puteh, Aceh, Indonesia

The genus Pseudapis is a group of bees belonging to the apinae subfamily, bees from this genus are known mainly in tropical and subtropical regions, the characteristic of Genus Pseudapis bees is their relatively small body size when compared to other adult bees in general and Their shape also varies between species, these bees also have an important role in the process of pollinating plants, contributing to the ecosystem by ensuring the diversity of flora is maintained.

I found this genus Pseudapis in nature while exploring, this bee looks calm and does not show an aggressive attitude, but still I have a phobia of all types of bees so I am very careful when capturing it, this bee is very beautiful with a color pattern dominated by black, while the mixture of yellow and white adds beauty to some sides of the bee, while the long protruding antennae add beauty to the bee and these antennae also function to detect predators and also provide information to their group.
