Vulture bees also known as carrion bees are stingless bees.
They are native to central and south America.
They DON'T FEED ON NECTAR AND POLLEN.
They feed on ROTTING MEAT !!!!
They have strong and powerful mandibles.
They have evolved an extra tooth, allowing them to efficiently tear off chunks of meat.
As they are stingless, they defend their colony by biting aggressors.
They often enter dead animals through eyes, nose or mouth to access the flesh.
The flesh they collect is consumed and then regurgitated upon return to the hive.
They produce an unique, protein rich substance from the processed meat which is known as MEAT HONEY !!!
They also collect extra floral nectar.
