Stingless bees bite instead of sting. They do technically have stingers, but they can't really use them. but they evolved stronger mandibles to deliver a fairly aggressive bite. Think like an aggressive ant bite or a horsefly bite. But no allergic venom reactions, just varying degrees of painful bites. The downside is of course they can bite MULTIPLE times unlike a stinger. Many of the native honeybees are pretty placid though, you have to be doing a lot to get bitten.

When we went into the desert March 2023 we had 6 Jerry cans of diesel for the two 4x4s, so about 140 litres reserve, plus 70 litres and 80 litres in our 2 tanks. That probably would not have made 1000 km range given our fuel consumption in the hundreds of kilometers of sand dunes, although for a good formed dirt road it would easily have done the task. I think from memory using most of the 70 litre tank got me under 300km. Was on low fuel range zone on the gauge when we got into Birdsville. Was pretty tough going out there.
