These are quite odd in the world of Bees. They forage diurnally and nocturnally, and they migrate by season. The distance is usually only a few hundred metres.

Generally quite aggressive if disturbed. This one was looking for water in my sink in dry season. I fished her out before she drowned.

    They move closer to their food sources which vary between wet and dry season. I have no idea why they do not increase their forage area instead. It seems a strange adaptation, I guess building a new hive has lower energy requirements.
