Diseases and pests of stingless bees. Author(s): MENEZES, C. As meliponiculture continues to advance, the emergence of diseases, parasites, and pests poses a growing concern. Among these threats, phorids, tiny flies that lay their eggs in pollen pots, pose a pa... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2024
Frugivory by a stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Author(s): PERUQUETTI, R. C.; COSTA, L. da S. M. da; SILVA, V. S. da; DRUMOND, P. M. Frugivory is not frequent among bees. Although stingless bees visit aged fruits for pulp, the use of fresh fruits is recorded only for Trigona hypogea Silvestri, a species that does not visit flowers.... ...

Isolation and characterization of 23 microsatellite loci in the stingless bee Melipona subnitida using next-generation sequencing. Author(s): SOUZA, I. G. B.; PATERSON, I.; McBRIDE, M. C.; SOUZA, B. A.; PEREIRA, F. M.; LOPES, M. T. R.; BENTZEN, P.; DINIZ, F. M. We described the isolation and characterization of 23 microsatellite loci from the stingless bee (Melipona subnitida). Out of 52 microsatellite primer pairs screened, 17 loci displayed polymorphism an... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2015
Evaluation of the antimicrobial capacity of bacteria isolated from stingless bee (Scaptotrigona aff. postica) honey cultivated in açai (Euterpe oleracea) monoculture. Author(s): SILVA, I. C. da; CONCEIÇÃO, E. O. A.; PEREIRA, D. S.; ROGEZ, H.; MUTO, N. A. Many antimicrobial compounds have been seeking to protect the human body against pathogenic microbial infections. In recent times, there has been considerable growth of pathogens resistant to existing... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2023
Characterization of honey of stingless bees from the Brazilian semi-arid region. Author(s): SANT'ANA, R. da S.; CARVALHO, C. A. L. de; ODA-SOUZA, M.; SOUZA, B. de A.; DIAS, F. de S. The physicochemical characteristics of honey vary according to bee species, climate, region, period of collection, processing and storage. In this context, this work aimed to perform a comparative stu... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020
Correlated expression of phenotypic and extended phenotypic traits across stingless bee species: worker eye morphology, foraging behaviour, and nest entrance architecture. Author(s): SEGERS, F. H. I. D; GRÜTER, C.; MENEZES, C.; MATEUS, S.; RATNIEKS, F. L. W. Abstract: Stingless bees are the most species-rich group of eusocial bees and show great diversity in behaviour, ecology, nest architecture, colony size, and worker morphology. How this variation rela... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2022
Relationships between stingless bees and mites. Author(s): MENEZES, C. The unfavorable interactions between mites and bees have cast a shadow on this topic, and not without reason. The primary challenge confronting global apiculture stems from Varroa destructor, a mite t... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2024
Nest architecture of the stingless bee Geotrigona subterranea (Friese,1901) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini). Author(s): BARBOSA, F. M.; ALVES, R. M. de O.; SOUZA, B. de A.; CARVALHO, C. A. L. de We located ten nests of Geotrigona subterranea in the transition area between Cerrado and Caatinga within the municipalities of Lontra and Januária, state of Minas Gerais, southeastern Brazil. We coll... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2013
Queens remate despite traumatic mating in stingless bees. Author(s): VEIGA, J. C.; RUIZ, G. R. S.; CARVALHO-ZILSE, G. A.; MENEZES, C.; CONTRERA, F. A. L. Abstract: Males can control female reproduction using genital plugs to impede access by rivals. In social bees, ants, and wasps, plugging may involve traumatic mating, with females being harmed. In st... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2021
Effects of insecticides used in strawberries on stingless bees Melipona quadrifasciata and Tetragonisca fiebrigi (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Author(s): PIOVESAN, B.; PADILHA, A. C.; MORAIS, M. C.; BOTTON, M.; GRÜTZMACHER, A. D.; ZOTTI, M. J. The use of pesticides is considered one of the most important threats to pollinators, especially since they are widely used in agriculture for pest control. In the last years, several studies have rep... ... Repository: BDPA Publication year: 2020
