Tragedy of the commons in Melipona bees [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2004 In human society selfish use of common resources can lead to disaster, a situation known as the 'tragedy of the commons' (TOC). Although a TOC is usually prevented by coercion, theory predicts that close kinship ties can also favour reduced exploitation. We test this prediction using data on a TOC occurring in Melipona bee societies.

Studies of the biological and therapeutic effects of argentine stingless bee propolis [PDF]
, 2018 Meliponids are native bees of the Americas, characterized by having no sting (ANSA). Some live in the Yunga forests of northern Argentina, a place rich in a diversity of this type of bees of which at least thirty-three species may be found. Propolis is a

Physicochemical parameters of Amazon Melipona honey [PDF]
Química Nova, 2007 Stingless bees produce a honey that is different from the Apis honey in terms of composition. There aren't enough data to establish quality control parameters for this product, mainly due to lack of research results. The aim of this work is to evaluate some physicochemical parameters that can be used for the characterization and for the quality control

Tragedy of the commons in Melipona bees revisited [PDF]
Biology Letters, 2022 Melipona stingless bees display a paradoxical overproduction of queens, which are later eliminated by nest-mate workers. Mechanistically, it was suggested that the monoterpenoid geraniol deposited into newly provisioned cells by adult bees would cause larvae to develop into queens in Melipona beecheii ...

Flight activity of Melipona asilvai Moure (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2006 Many stingless bee species are specific to their areas of occurrence. Even when adapted to their local climate and flora conditions, they are subject to modifications in the environment, directly influencing flight activity. The aim of this work is to obtain information about the flight activity of the stingless bee Melipona asilvai Moure, thus ...
