Potter wasp and hornet on leaves to ylang ylang (kenanga) flower plant

This is taken on the evening of 4 June 2024. Where I noticed 2 different insects on the leaves to my ylang ylang (kenanga) flower plant. 

Fortunately I am using my round RGB video light with me that time. So I am able to take clear pictures of them. Upon further inspection and clarification, found out that it is potter wasp and hornet. Both also part of pollinator team. Just need to remember to be careful with the potter wasp. Since it has rhe ability to sting more than 1 time per wasp. 
Until then, have fun in taking pictures of insects that you noticed and unknown for further checking.

The look of died stingless bees in between my snow vine flowers

This is taken on the morning of 2 January 2023. Where I saw one stingless bee died in between the flowers of my snow vine plant.

Not sure what happened. But it is quite sad to see such happens. Since it is a very good pollinator at home.
Until then, have fun in observing your polinators at home.

The look of 2 stingless bee roaming near flowers on my pisang lemak manis heart.

This is taken in the morning of 13 June 2019. I saw 2 stingless bee roaming near flowers on heart of my pisang lemak manis. Quite surprising.
This is different from the one I saw last 19 June 2019 [1]. Slightly smaller in size. Also almost all black in colour.
Sorry for the unclear or unsharp pictures and videos. Since it is taken using my precious Samsung J7 Prime phone. Have to make do with what available in hands that time.

The look of stingless bee roaming on my rose flower.

This is taken last 19 June 2019. Where I saw 1 stingless bee hovering aroundy blooming rose flower. 
What I could identify is it has:
  • Black eyes with orange outer layer. 
  • Black legs. 
  • Orange wing tip. 
  • Orange stomach. 
It is either Tetragonilla atripes or Geniotrigona thoracica based on the above criterias. Still do not know much on stingless bee to be able to identify it easily. 

Video of the stingless bee move around my rose flower.
Hopefully I am able to get some help in identifying this species of stingless bee. Unfortunately I do not know any expert especially an entomologist to assist in identification process.
