Stingless bees (Tetragonula biroi), known in Tagalog as lukot or kiwot, produce honey, propolis, and pollen. Their hives are reportedly low-cost and low-maintenance, making them relatively easy to care for and nurture.

Tetragonula laeviceps is a stingless bee species found in tropical and subtropical regions of Southeast Asia. It produces honey, propolis, and pollen, and nests in places like tree trunks and bamboo. This bee is valued for its role in pollination and honey production.

Apis cerana, also known as the Asian or eastern honey bee, is native to South, Southeast, and East Asia. It is a social bee species used for honey production and pollination for thousands of years. It builds multi-comb nests in cavities and adapts well to different climates.
