Seasonal changes in odour preferences by male euglossine bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and their ecological implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Orchid bees are an important group of specialized insect pollinators in the Neotropics. Male orchid bees are attracted by a wide range of aromatic substances often produced by flowers.

Euglossine bees as potential bio-indicators of coffee farmas: Does forest access, on a seasonal basis, affect sbundance?

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2006
In order to understand the implications of agriculture on the environment, ecosystem health must be measured. Observing the presence of a biological indicator within an ecosystem is one such method. In this study, male euglossine bees were observed using

Orchid bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) in the coastal forests of southern Brazil: diversity, efficiency of sampling methods and comparison with other Atlantic forest surveys

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2011
Surveys of orchid bees at the Brazilian Atlantic forest have been restricted to a few regions, making difficult to understand latitudinal patterns of distribution and diversity of these bees.

The orchid-bee fauna (Hymenoptera: Apidae) of ‘Reserva Biológica de Una’, a hotspot in the Atlantic Forest of southern Bahia, eastern Brazil

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Biology
The orchid-bee fauna of ‘Reserva Biológica de Una’ (REBIO Una), one of the largest Atlantic Forest remnants in southern Bahia, eastern Brazil, was surveyed for the first time. Baits with sixteen different scents were used to attract males of orchid bees.

Flight Energetics of Euglossine Bees in Relation to Morphology and Wing Stroke Frequency

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 1985
ABSTRACT Mass-specific oxygen consumption of euglossine bees during free hovering flight is inversely related to body mass, varying from 66mlO2g−1h−1 in a 1−0·10 bee to 154mlO2g−1h−1 in a 0·10-g bee. Individuals of Eulaema and Eufreisea spp.
