Here is something potentially relevant to the article: Mystery bird: blue-bearded bee-eater, Nyctyornis athertoni.—Biosketch (talk) 07:51, 3 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks but those guys don't bother Trigona collina. They do have very interesting strategies against Apis dorsata though and the giant not-at-all-friendly-in-my-experience honeybees have some smart counter strategies which you can read about in The predator-prey interaction between blue-bearded bee eaters and giant honeybees. Trigona collina nests do however get attacked by people looking for the black sealing material used for khenes. Sean.hoyland - talk 08:02, 3 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
