I’m still stuck on her parents “brought in a biologist” as her care giver! Who the heck is this child’s parents?
-
A great part of this excellent story is that the Exterminator was informed enough to stop in his tracks and report the species. We need more exterminators that care, as well as many young entomologists in the making like that little girl! Great video all around, thanks for sharing such interesting stories. I also think it's high time we named the species Anika bees :) agreed!

Everybody's saying how smart she is. She's really just a normal child with a better opportunity of learning because she has a personal nanny who has obviously been teaching her.. All children are smart. Some just have better opportunities than others. I think it's really cool she found these bees.. 😎

They're honeybees?? Stingless honeybees? I'm happy to hear that exists
-
The smallest bees that make honey are called mariolas and they're stingless. I saw them and tried the honey in Costa Rica at a friend's house. He had several colonies hanging under the eves in special boxes and he opened one for me. The honey was dark and very sweet. They use it as medicine for eye infection or irritation. I wonder if it's the same species? Costa Rica and Brazil share a lot of other species. If not the same they're very very similar.

66 years ago my mother had 3 bee apperies in the back yard. No one ever got stung. Bare skinned she'd harvest honey using only smoke. Good story. 😃
-
I am a beekeeper, awesome to see such a young child so interested in entomology!🐝
-
In Colombia we call those bees "angelitas"
-
I'm still floored that her parents brought in a "caregiver" at age 3 months. Like that's the ultimately babysitter/tutor.

Anika: “I think these Bees are unique and should be studied and shared” Me: “ Run y’all its a Bee!!!”
-
Hits blunt “I ain’t seen a salamander since I was 8”

I keep carniolan honey bees and they are very calm, gentle bees. They can sting but if you handle them gently they rarely do. I never wear protection when working with them.
-
You go pal! That's so great. I hope she has a lovely life and great career.
-
She is an old soul, here to protect Gaia... in 2004, I was blessed with a huge BUMBLEbee floating next to me one summer day. Memorable!
-
Standford should give her a scholarship for finding these rare bees! 😃👏🏼
-
I used to find these bees all the time where I lived in California I didn't know they were so special
-
What a wonderful find! Now to protect them- from humans.
-
This is extraordinary! Wish I could get my kids to go outside, let alone interested in nature!
-
In Fremont, in the 60s, if you caught bees with a "H" design on their backs, they couldn't sting you. 6 years ago, in San Francisco, I found one. I wonder if these were "Anaka" bees?
-
When I was a child growing up in Orange , California- we had a stingless type of bee we called H bees because of the H marking on the back of the main part of their bodies. This was at least 60 years ago- can't remember the last time I saw one.
