Antioxidant Activity of a Geopropolis from Northeast Brazil: Chemical Characterization and Likely Botanical Origin

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Geopropolis is a product containing wax, plant resin, and soil particles. It is elaborated by stingless bees of tribe Meliponini. Methanol extracts of sample of geopropolis produced by Scaptotrigona postica (“mandaguari”) in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN, northeast Brazil) were analyzed for the determination of standard parameters (total phenols,

Meliponini neotropicais: o gênero camargoia moure, 1989 (apinae, apidae, hymenoptera)

Arquivos de Zoologia, 1996
Camargoia nordestina, sp. n., is described from the dry valleys of Piaui state, NE Brazil. It differs from C. camargoi by the yellow maculations ofparaocular areas ending at the level of superior tangent of antennal sockets, basitarsi II and tibiae and basitarsi III blackish, microtrichiae of anterior wing uniformly fuscous and the median ocellus above

Floral Resources Partitioning by Two Co-occurring Eusocial Bees in an Afromontane Landscape

Sociobiology, 2018
Floral preferences of generalist foragers such as eusocial bees influence the success of pollination of many flowering plants, as well as competition with many other bee species in tropical communities.

Ultraconserved element (UCE) phylogenomics illuminates the evolutionary history and biogeography of Dorymyrmex pyramid ants

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 2, Page 325-348, April 2025.
A newly expanded UCE phylogeny of Dorymyrmex robustly confirms the major lineages and recommends a new scheme of four major species groups. The asymmetrical, amphitropical distribution of Dorymyrmex was likely created by a single dispersal event across the Isthmus of Panama before the traditional closure date of 3 Mya.

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

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
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.

First records of four orchid bee species (Hymenoptera, Apidae: Euglossini) in Ecuador [PDF]

Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics
Orchid bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Euglossini) play a vital role as key pollinators in the Neotropical forests. Their preference for forested areas makes these bees more susceptible to environmental changes, particularly in areas under severe human impact,
