Are stingless bees beekeepers Are stingless bees beekeepers organized anyway?organized anyway?
• Most of them belong to beekeepers associations;
• Generally some subscribe the electronic discussion list
• There are some associations exclusively for them
• There are relevant initiatives among them

•The webmaster is a PhD student, that often make good job putting a order in the chaos that sometimes is established.
•It is possible to identify the stingless beekeepers profiles, their needs concerning knowledge to be acquired and level of expertise.

Electronic discussion list
Main needs are:
1. A bee identification service available on line or by request;2. How to begin a meliponary; 3. How to get the technical information about the bee biology, in Portuguese 4. What are the regional rearing techniques, types of hives, etc. 5. The problem of rearing species that are not native in the area: is it ecologically correct?6. The problem of genetic variability of the meliponaries;

Electronic discussion listElectronic discussion listMain needs:
7. The establishment of official rules and a law protecting the activity , and allowing them to get nests from the wild;8. Books or some other educational support on
stingless bees for using in the beekeeping associations, improving the local interest on bees;9. Bee plant lists;10. Which are the profits with the activity? 11. Honey: to improve its use and conservation.
