Carpenter Bees & Sweat Bees do not usually sting, as the males do not have stingers (but they can BITE when threatened! OUCH ), and the females of both species have stingers, but will only sting if seriously threatened. Both of these species were collected in this study. I wonder, what do you call the "stingless bees" in your part of Asia ?

In my country we call them "kelulut" which include species like tetrigona apicalis, heterotrigona itama, lophotrigona canifrons, tetrigona binghami and geniotrigona thoracica. People breed these for their honey. If you search the term "kelulut" on YouTube, you can find all sorts of videos on them.
