Description:	The demand for stingless bee colonies has increased a lot and the conventional multiplication methods are not enough. The aim of this study was to compare different possibilities for establishing new colonies: (1) Conventional method, using 50% of biological material from the mother-colony; (2) Queenless mini-colony, using about 10% of biological material from the mother-colony; (3) Queenright mini-colony, similar to the previous method, but received a physogastric queen; (4) Confined queenright mini-colony, similar to previous method, but was kept closed for 80 days
