Couple of weeks ago, while watering plants on our apartment roof I happened to notice fly like insects buzzing around. I hadn't seen the insects clearly, assumed they were some kind of flies. There wasn't any decaying matter on our roof. So, why these insects?
A few days later when I moved one of the buckets, I happened to notice a colony of insects. Oh those buzzing insects weren't flies. These are bees, the smaller type without sting. I left them alone, didn't even take a photo. A week later I noticed the exposed honeycomb with just a fraction of the colony. I guess the bees migrated to another location to build a new honeycomb. Here's a short video of the stingless bee.

Here's a collage of a Jeerige Menasina Gida ~ bird eye chilli plant and twigs. This plant is approximately two years old. Since it is planted in a small planter there's not much growth, it's about 18" high. Once a chilies are harvested from a branch, the branch starts drying out. I happened to notice the twigs zig-zag formation which is quite interesting.
