''Lestrimelitta limao'' is a neotropical eusocial bee species found in Brazil and Panama and is part of the Apidae family. It is a species of stingless bees that practices obligate nest robbing. They have never been spotted foraging from flowers,〔 an observation that supports their raiding behavior. Because of their lack of hind corbicula, they must raid to obtain enough protein in their diet in the form of pollen and nectar. ''Lestrimelitta limao'' secrete a lemon-scented alarm allomone, from which they receive their name, in order to conduct successful raids. ''L. limao'' are hypothesized to produce poisonous honey that is toxic if consumed by humans. Because robber bees are so rare and difficult to observe, they are little studied. ==Taxonomy and Phylogeny== ''Lestrimelitta limao'' is part of the Apidae family, which consists of bumble bees, euglossines, honey bees, and stingless bees. This species is within the tribe Meliponini. ''L. limao'' usually visit the nests of the same family, most notably, Trigona.
