While we were in Valladolid, we visited a natural area called Xkopék. It had bees that were so tiny that you almost couldn’t see them! You might think it was a mosquito. There was also a wasp nest on the little tree. They would sting you! The reserve was in a dead or dry cenote. There were bees that did not sting. One type of bee is called the “fly bee” because it looks like a fly. The Mayans called it something different but it means the same thing. Another kind of bee that doesn’t sting is called “white tip” bee. It lives in wood. The last kind we called “skunk bee” because if you get too close, they will fly in your hair and make it smell bad.
This is Jorge. He was a great guide.
Here is a hive that is formed in the ground.
