Nest of stingless Brazilian bees

I took this picture in my winter vacation in north eastern Brazil. We walked from my aunt's farm in the mountains in the hinterland of Ceará to this tiny village in the middle of the forest, where an old man breeds these stingless, native Brazilian bees. He has six different types of them, and the honeys have different olfactory and medicinal qualities. All of them are thin, have a very fresh, fruity taste and are extremely rich in minerals and vitamins. They produce very little of it, so it is quite expensive (some variations more than others). Anyway, you may use it to cure all kinds of illnesses, infections and rashes!
