This Dominican Republic amber with stingless bee inclusion preserves a fossil stingless bee encased in Miocene Dominican amber, with visible wings, antennae, legs, and body structures that allow direct observation of its morphology. Stingless bees (tribe Meliponini) are significant because they document the evolution of highly social pollinators and provide insight into the tropical forest ecosystems of the Caribbean during the Miocene period.
