“…The greatest diversity of stingless bees in Asia is concentrated across Indonesia (Kahono et al, 2018), and yet their study within the country remains to be more fully developed, particularly in terms of the implementation of sustainable systems of meliponiculture. Efforts are underway to inform and educate beekeepers about best practices which are of both economic and conservation benefits (Kahono pers.…”

“…Homotrigona (Odontotrigona) haematoptera (Cockerell) is known from northern Borneo (Sarawak, Brunei, Sabah), and assuredly will be found in bordering areas of Kalimantan once more extensive surveys are undertaken. In total, at least 46 species of stingless bees are found across Indonesia, more than any other region of the Eastern Hemisphere (Kahono et al, 2018). At present, the largest concentration of records are from Sumatra and Java, followed by Kalimantan and Sulawesi.…”

“…Presently, 46 species of stingless bees are recorded across Indonesia, with most of these occurring on Sumatra and Kalimantan (Kahono et al, 2018), although sampling bias towards the larger and more extensively inhabited islands obscures the true patterns of distribution and diversity. Admittedly, more extensive sampling is needed in more remote areas and bordering islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan, but it is even more urgent to undertake bee surveys on other islands.…”

Indonesia harbors the greatest diversity of social bees in all of Asia, particularly of the stingless bees (Apidae: Apinae: Meliponini). Presently, 46 species of stingless bees are known across Indonesia although records are not comprehensive and additional diversity is likely present across the region. All of the known Asiatic genera of Meliponini occur in Indonesia, making this region a critical center of modern stingless bee biodiversity in Asia. Presented here is an illustrated key to the genera and subgenera of Indonesian stingless bees, as an aid to the general identification, study, and conservation of these critical pollinators.

“…Tetragonula is one of stingless bees genus widely spread in Indo-Pacific with various species [1], including Indonesia. Kahono et al [2] reported that Indonesia has 12 species of Tetragonula, i.e., T. biroi in Papua, T. clypearis in Ambon, T. drescheri in Sumatera, Jawa in Borneo, T. fuscobalteata in Sumatera, Borneo and Sulawesi, T. geissleri in Borneo, T. laeviceps in Sumatera, Jawa, Borneo, Sulawesi and Ambon, T. melanocephala in Borneo, T. melina in Sumatera and Borneo, T. minangkabau in Sumatera, T. reepeni in Sumatera, T. sapiens in Mollucas and Papua, and T. sarawakensis in Borneo.…”

Tetragonula is one of stingless bees genus widely spread in Indo-Pacific with various species, including Indonesia. This genus is also found in West Halmahera, but it does not have a unique character as the marker, so it is difficult to identify. The best way to identify is by measuring the body part from each individual. This research was conducted to analyze morphometry to know the diversity of stingless bee in West Halmahera. Three hundred thirty-two (332) stingless bees from 51 colonies of three different species were used, namely Tetragonula clypearis, 40 colonies (252 bees), T. sapiens, 10 colonies (72 bees), and T. biroi, one colony (eight bees). Morphometry of stingless bees were analyzed based on principal component analysis (PCA), visualized into scree plot, score plot, loading plot and biplot. The results showed that only two principal components (PCs) on eigenvalue have a score more than one with the total proportions are 85.8%. All the species were not correlated because they appeared in different quadrants. Morphometry variables have a positive correlation with T. sapiens, but negative correlation with T. clypearies, while T. biroi has a weak correlation with the variables of T. sapiens. T. sapiens can only be found in the highlands, T. clypearis is mostly found in medium elevations but can also be found in highlands, while T. biroi can only be found in lowlands.
