Thank you to everyone who contributed in this thread and off-line.

In summary, it seems that whilst Australia has the most visible presence 
on the net there is a huge amount of work still to be done in making 
detailed and basic information available.  This seems to be due to the 
fact that whilst stingless bees are bees they are radically different to 
say A.M. and as a result quite difficult to study.  The whole field of 
stingless bees is an opportunity waiting to happen.
