Managed in the Stingless bee sanctuary — honey for the community, conservation for the forest.
In rational hives, Ronsapilla colonies live in modular wooden boxes designed for sustainable meliponiculture. The boxes make it possible to harvest honey without harming the colony, monitor health, and split a strong colony to grow the Stingless bee sanctuary.
Melipona eburnea is the species the Kukama have managed for generations; the rational-hive setup keeps that tradition viable while making the operation legible to outside science.
