Duckeola Frieseomelitta Geotrigona Tetragona Tetragonisca Trigona Trigona is one of the largest genera of stingless bees, comprising about 32 species,[1] exclusively occurring in the New World, and formerly including many more subgenera than the present assemblage; many of these former subgenera have been elevated to generic status.

[2] Trigona species occur throughout the Neotropical region, including South and Central America, the Mexican lowlands, and the Caribbean islands.

[2] Trigona nests are constructed from wax they produce and plant resins they collect.

Some species of Trigona bees use saliva to lay scent trails guiding nest mates to a food source.

[4] Some species of Trigona use eavesdropping which help them detect food sources being exploited by competitors.
