Stingless bee - Arapuá or Irapuá (Rhododendron macrophyllum (Bigleaf Rhododendron))

Arapuá or irapua - Honey bee (Trigona ruficus).
They are my partners in the pollination of flowers. They love wisteria. The bunches of flowers are covered with these bees. Here she is in the flowers of the rhododendron.
