摘要

In rural Ghana, stingless bees are well known as useful animals. Farmers raid natural hives to collect honey, which they use to treat ailments from eye infections to asthma. Many say the bees improve crop yields, and people refer to different species by their indigenous monikers. (The tifuie, for instance, is named after its tendency to get caught in people's hair.) Despite farmers' familiarity with these small bees, however, "they had no idea that they could bring them home and culture them and keep them," says entomologist Peter Kwapong.
