Similar to other species of stingless bees, "P. remota" only intensively uses a few floral resources to collect the pollen add nectar they need. They get their pollen from seven sources while they get their nectar from eight sources. These sources are manly from trees that are not that far from the colony, roughly about 100 meters. In a study conducted, "P. remota" was observed mainly foraging from "Archontophoenix", "Cecropia" and multiple "Eucalyptus" species. Others species that were also foraged from but to a lesser extent were "Piptadenia", "Tipuana speciosa", "Impatiens balsamina", "Cabralea s.l.", "Mimosa daleoides", and "Asparagus s.l." Within the family Apidae, "P. remota" occupies an intermediate position on the scale of polylecty that covers ten species.
