Hygienic behavior in the stingless bees Melipona beecheii and Scaptotrigona pectoralis (Hymenoptera: Meliponini)

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2009
Hygienic behavior, a trait that may confer resistance to brood diseases in the honey bee Apis mellifera, was studied in two species of stingless bees in Mexico. Eight colonies each of Melipona beecheii and Scaptotrigona pectoralis were tested for hygienic behavior, the removal of dead or diseased brood, by freeze killing a comb of sealed cells ...

New molecular evidence for fragmentation between two distant populations of the threatened stingless bee Melipona subnitida Ducke (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini). [PDF]

, 2015
For a snapshot assessment of the genetic diversity present within Melipona subnitida, an endemic stingless bee distributed in the semi-arid region of northeastern Brazil, populations separated by over 1,000 km distance were analyzed by ISSR genotyping ...

Estudio de microsatélites en las abejas sin aguijón Melipona colimana y M. beecheii de Mesoamérica [PDF]

Archivos de Zootecnia, 2013
En este estudio, se ha analizado por primera vez la variabilidad de los loci de microsatélites en la especie silvestre de abejas sin aguijón Melipona colimana. Los datos obtenidos se han comparado con los de una población insular de la especie domesticada M. beecheii. Los resultados del genotipado de los individuos de M.

Honey characterization and identification of fructophilic lactic acid bacteria of fresh samples from Melipona beecheii, Scaptotrigona pectoralis, Plebeia llorentei, and Plebeia jatiformis hives

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Stingless bees are essential to preser tropical ecosystems. They pollinate native flora, producing honey with properties for traditional health uses. Lactic acid bacteria spontaneously ferment honey in stingless bee honey (SBH).

Are isomeric alkenes used in species recognition among neo-tropical stingless bees (Melipona spp) [PDF]

, 2017
The majority of our understanding of the role of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHC) in recognition is based largely on temperate ant species and honey bees. The stingless bees remain relatively poorly studied, despite being the largest group of eusocial bees ...

Differentiation of Melipona quadrifasciata L. (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) subspecies using cytochrome b PCR-RFLP patterns [PDF]

, 2008
Melipona quadrifasciata quadrifasciata and M. quadrifasciata anthidioides are subspecies of M. quadrifasciata, a stingless bee species common in coastal Brazil. These subspecies are discriminated by the yellow stripe pattern of the abdominal tergites. We

Application of Multivariable Analysis and FTIR‐ATR Spectroscopy to the Prediction of Properties in Campeche Honey

Journal of Analytical Methods in Chemistry, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
Attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and chemometrics model was used for determination of physicochemical properties (pH, redox potential, free acidity, electrical conductivity, moisture, total soluble solids (TSS), ash, and HMF) in honey samples.

Broad Protein Spectrum in Stored Pollen of Three Stingless Bees from the Chaco Dry Forest in South America (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) and Its Ecological Implications

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Protein content of pollen stored by three meliponine species was variable from 9.78% (less than half the value considered as optimal to brood development in Apis mellifera) in type Capparis tweediana‐C. speciosa to more than 26% in type Maytenus vitis-idaea and some Prosopis samples.
