Cell provisioning and oviposition in Melipona beecheii (Apidae, Meliponinae),with a note on caste determination [PDF]
Apidologie, 1999 We examined the food provisioning and oviposition process (POP) for worker- and gyne-producing cells of Melipona beecheii. POPs for both castes did not differ significantly in duration and number of trophic eggs oviposited by workers in the cells.

Melipona beecheii (Hymenoptera, Apidae) foragers deposit a chemical mark on food to attract conspecifics [PDF]
Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2023 Stingless bees have a sophisticated system of chemical communication that helps conspecifics find food sources. In this study, we investigated whether Melipona beecheii foragers deposit a chemical mark on food to recruit conspecifics.

Individual foraging, activity level and longevity in the stingless bee Melipona beecheii in Costa Rica (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponinae) [PDF]
Insectes Sociaux, 1998 Foraging behaviour of individually marked workers of Melipona beecheii (Meliponinae) was monitored in Costa Rica to investigate individual specialisation for different materials and how this influences foraging longevity.

A genetic and morphological survey to trace the origin of Melipona beecheii (Apidae: Meliponini) from Cuba [PDF]
Apidologie, 2019 The stingless bee Melipona beecheii is extensively distributed across Mexico and Central America and the only Melipona found in the Greater Antilles. The aim of this work was to establish possible continental affinities of M. beecheii from the Antilles. We compared populations from the main island (Cuba) with two clearly separated genetic lineages of M.
