This looks a lot like other native south American stingless bee hives.

Could be related to the term Bugonia that they made that recent movie not-exactly about. From Wikipedia:
“Bugonia was a folk practice in the ancient Mediterranean region based on the belief that bees were spontaneously generated from a cow’s carcass.”
So in the old days, they saw bees coming out of rotting cows (maybe these here vampar bees) and said “that’s where bees come from”
