Padilla et al:
<blockquote>
In America some stingless bees were kept by the native population. The maya codex Tro-Cortesianus shows drawings of bees and parts of
honey combs. Maya beekeepers worked in Yucatan and adjacent regions with the specie ''Mellipona beecheii'', using horizontal logs with end enclosures of clay or stone. With the arrival of spanish colonizers the indians of Yucatan were obliged to pay tributes which consisted mainly of clothing (mostly blankets) and food, although they also allowed payment in wax and honey. <ref>Padilla, F., F.
