Abstract

Information on stingless bee diversity in customary forest of Imbo Putui is still lacking so there is no data of stingless bees in the forest.  The purpose of this study was to identify the species of stingless bees found in Imbo Putui customary forest. The search for stinglees bee nests was carried out using exploration method in three predetermined areas. The area was roadside (Zone I), inside the forest (Zone II), and around the river and oil palm plantation (Zone III). Data analysis was carried out quantitative descriptive. The result of the study found 7 species of stingless bees, 4 species of which with majority conservation status were found, namely Heterotrigona itama, Tetragonula laeviceps (yellow, black), Tetragonula drescheri and Tetragonilla collina. Meanwhile minority species found are Tetragonula iridepennis, Homotrigona fimbriata and Tetragonula testaceitarsis. Base on presence of 3 species that are classified as minorities found,  it can be conclude that the ecosystem of Imbo Putui customary forest is  still maintained and has not experienced significant changes.

Abstract

Imbo Putui Customary Forest supports high biodiversity, including stingless bees; however, data regarding the specific morphology of their nest entrances in this region remain limited. This study aimed to characterize the entrance funnel length, diameter, nest height, color, shape, and nesting habitat conditions of stingless bees in Imbo Putui Forest. The study employed a survey method with purposive sampling across three zones: roadside (Zone I), forest interior (Zone II), and riparian/oil palm plantation areas (Zone III). Eight stingless bee species were identified: Heterotrigona itama, Tetragonula laeviceps (black and yellow), Tetragonilla collina, Tetragonula drescheri, Tetragonula testaceitarsis, Tetragonula iridipennis, and Homotrigona fimbriata. Nest measurements indicated funnel lengths of 1–27 cm, entrance diameters of 5–20 mm, and nest heights ranging from 1 cm to 1000 cm. Morphologically, the nest entrances were predominantly round or oval in shape, with colors consistently ranging from brownish black to grayish brown.
