 Nests are built into the fertile topsoil of the subtropical rainforests.The niche breadth of "S. quadripunctata" includes a wide variety of flowering plants that overlaps with many other eusocial bees native to the area, including members of the tribes "Meliponini" and "Trigoni", as well as Africanized honeybees.Each nest features a single, simple rounded entrance, as opposed to a triangular entrance or one with a tube network, several layers, or multiple openings.
