Hi Tiaz,
I don’t wish to offend, but you will get better information by doing a google search on"Breeding Stingless Bees".
I know there are a couple of members of this forum who have Australian native (stingless) bees, however the expertise here is with tradition hives and bees and Flow Hives in particular.

Having 30 hives in 2 years of bee keeping is a success. As Busso says, this site is more about honey bees. I’m sure if you ask about you will find bee keepers locally with stingless bees.
Cheers

Hi Peter, I’m totally new to this. Aussie living in Kuta, Lombok. Does anyone have a hive in Lombok? How would I go about starting a colony/ finding bees?? I assume I’m unable to have them sent from Java or other places. Cheers, Phil
