Contrasting patterns of foraging behavior in neotropical stingless bees using pollen and honey metabarcoding [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Stingless bees are major flower visitors in the tropics, but their foraging preferences and behavior are still poorly understood. Studying stingless bee interactions with angiosperms is methodologically challenging due to the high tropical plant ...

Abelhas-sem-ferrão amazônicas defendem meliponários contra saques de outras abelhas [PDF]

Acta Amazonica, 2013
Entre as abelhas eussociais, dois gêneros apresentam estratégia de vida cleptobiótica, obtendo recursos alimentares de ninhos de outras abelhas ao invés de coletá-los em flores. Entre as espécies atacadas existe um gradiente de suscetibilidade ao roubo variando desde espécies vulneráveis até altamente resistentes.

Effects of Propeller and Stirring-Speed on the Rheological, Physicochemical, and Sensory Characteristics of Creamed Honeys. [PDF]

J Texture Stud
Mixing conditions influenced the rheological behavior of creamed honey, particularly viscosity and viscoelastic moduli. Despite structural sensitivity to temperature, all samples showed high sensory acceptance and purchase intent, highlighting processing parameters as critical for optimizing industrial production of creamed honey.

Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.
