Plebeia droryana is a species of stingless bee that is in the family Apidae and tribe Meliponini. Bees of the species are normally found in a few states in southern Brazil and their nests can be found in tree cavities. Depending on the region, P. remota may have a different morphology and exhibit different behaviors.[2] The bee's diet consists of nectar and pollen that are collected intensely from a few sources.[3] Researchers have conducted a multitude of studies analyzing the changes that occur in the colony during reproductive diapause and what happens during the Provisioning and Oviposition Process or POP.
