Bee Body Size and Foraging Behavior Predict the Pollination Role of Bees in a Buzz-Pollinated Plant Community. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how bee traits influence pollination success in a buzz‐pollinated plant community. Larger body size and floral sonication strongly predicted stigma contact, a proxy for pollination efficiency, while longer handling times were associated with reduced effectiveness.

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

The Morphology of the Rare Beetle Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a Commensal of the Semiaquatic Russian Desman. [PDF]
J MorpholWe document in detail the morphology of Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a commensal of the endangered semiaquatic Russian desman, and discuss it with respect to phylogeny and function. Silphopsyllus is much less adapted to life on a semiaquatic host than the closely related beaver beetle Platypsyllus.

Revista de Ciências Agrárias, 2012 Após a análise dos critérios de classificação toxicológica (CT) dos pesticidas para as abelhas e da evolução da CT e da legislação específica deste tema, em Portugal, evidencia-se como a ausência de rigor da Autoridade Fitossanitária Nacional (AFN) e das empresas de pesticidas contribui para a muito elevada probabilidade de mortalidade das abelhas ...

Congregation Sites and Sleeping Roost of Male Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)
Sociobiology, 2014 Very little is known about stingless bee reproductive biology or male behaviour. In this note we provide the first observations on the male aggregations (congregation sites and roosting sites) of some stingless bee species.

The Life Histories of the "Uruçu Amarela" Males (Melipona flavolineata, Apidae, Meliponini)
Sociobiology, 2018 Here we describe the life histories of adult males of the the Amazonian stingless bee Melipona flavolineata Friese, commonly known as “uruçu amarela”. Males reach sexual maturity inside nests, presenting seminal vesicles full of sperm cells and becoming ...

JARDIM AMIGÁVEL PARA ABELHAS JATAÍ
SIMPÓSIO DE TECNOLOGIA FATEC JABOTICABAL, 2023 De acordo com a literatura, 2% das abelhas selvagens do planeta, são responsáveis por 80% das culturas mundiais. São espécies sensíveis e que são indicadores de saúde do Ecossistema, pois apresentam menos tolerância às alterações climáticas. Compreende-se que sua extinção destruirá o Ecossistema, pois grande parte dos animais herbívoros, insetos e ...
