Open‐canopy ponds benefit diurnal pollinator communities in an agricultural landscape: implications for farmland pond management

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 307-324, May 2021., 2021
The species‐rich insect‐pollinated plant communities typically encountered at farmland ponds significantly increase with long‐term canopy management and following pond restoration. Pond management and restoration significantly enhanced bee and wasp communities, with insect‐pollinated plant diversity appearing as a key factor explaining these changes ...

Stingless Bee Propolis: New Insights for Anticancer Drugs

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Natural products are important sources of biomolecules possessing antitumor activity and can be used as anticancer drug prototypes. The rich biodiversity of tropical and subtropical regions of the world provides considerable bioprospecting potential, including the potential of propolis produced by stingless bee species.

Pollinator size and its consequences: Robust estimates of body size in pollinating insects. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Novel predictive allometric models for two dominant pollinating taxa, bees and hoverflies that consider biogeography, phylogeny, and sexual dimorphism. These models, along with existing allometric equations for pollinating insects, form the R package, "pollimetry." Abstract Body size is an integral functional trait that underlies pollination‐related ...

A Comparative Study on the Physicochemical and Antioxidant Properties of Honeys From Apis mellifera L. and Meliponula beccarii L. Collected From Western Oromia, Ethiopia. [PDF]

Int J Food Sci
Honey is a natural substance synthesized by honeybees. Its physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities differ among honey types due to floral and entomological origins. This is a comparative study on the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of honey from Apis mellifera and Meliponula beccarii L.

Notes on the nesting biology of five species of Euglossini (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the Brazilian Amazon

EntomoBrasilis, 2017
. The orchid bees (Euglossini) are medium to large-sized species with fully or partially metallic body that are relatively common in the Neotropical Region. Nevertheless, the nesting biology of many species remains unknown.
