		<description><![CDATA[by Frank Gapinski
There are reported to be over 1600 varieties of bees in Australia, but only 14 species are stingless. Australian stingless bees are a lot smaller and darker looking than your average sized honey bee. There&#8217;s one good advantage in being small, and that&#8217;s being able to pollinate tiny, delicate, hard to reach blossoms.
That&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
