STINGLESS HONEY BEE. 407 



The other variety of the stingless bee brought by 

 Mr. Biglow, was about half the size of the forego- 

 ing. It, however, constructs its nest in a somewhat 

 similar manner ; but it is mostly made of mud, in- 

 stead of propolis and wax. This nest was taken 

 from out of the iron railroad bridge spanning the 

 Gatune River. They are mostly found built on trees.
