The smallest bee in the Stingless bee sanctuary — and the most beloved.
Angelita (Tetragonisca angustula) is one of the smallest stingless bees in the Amazon. Her colonies are calm and easy to handle, which makes them the ideal entry point for new meliponicultoras learning to manage a rational hive.
The honey is intensely floral and is traditionally prized as medicine. A single rational Angelita box can sustain a Kukama family with both food and small surplus income.
Replacement of the wooden hive box and monthly inspections
Training grants for new meliponicultoras
Materials to multiply the colony when it grows strong enough to split
Reforestation of native flora that keeps bees healthy and thriving
What every donor wants to know before adopting a Angelita colony.
It is a symbolic adoption: your contribution funds the protection of the bees, their habitat, and the Indigenous family that cares for them. You do not gain legal ownership of the colony — the impact is conservation, not possession.
