Brazilian bees keep their own 'insect ranch'
|
||
|
||
Scientists have found a new species of bee that behaves like a farmer by
|
||
keeping herds of insects.
|
||
The Amazonian Schwarzula use their own 'insect ranches' to provide food and
|
||
building materials.
|
||
The bees nest in holes in trees alongside 200 aphid-like insects from a
|
||
species called cryptostigma.
|
||
Cryptostigma feed on tree sap and excrete a sugar solution, which the bees
|
||
stop them from drowning in, by licking it up and turning it into honey.
|
||
The insects also produce wax from glands on their backs, which the bees
|
||
scrape off and use for their nest.
|
||
Nature reports it is the first time farming behaviour has been discovered in
|
||
bees.
|
||
Biologist Joao Camargo, of the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil, said: "In
|
||
turn the bees provide the insects with sanitary benefits and protection."
|
||
Writing in the journal Biotropica, Camargo says the bees might even carry
|
||
their insect ranches around the forest with them and is planning further
|
||
research on how they tend to their herd.
|
||
Studies of the Schwarzula showed the bees seemed to get most of their sugar
|
||
from the insect farms. Some bees were seen licking human sweat for salt.
