Chemical Changes Associated with the Invasion of a Melipona scutellaris Colony by Melipona rufiventris Workers

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2007
Wax constituents produced by worker bees and the chemistry of the nest batumen (mixture of wax, mud, and floral materials) in a Melipona scutellaris colony changed when it was invaded by Melipona rufiventris workers. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analyses showed that after invasion, the M. scutellaris workers of the invaded colony produced waxes

TERMORREGULAÇÃO E PRODUÇÃO DA MELIPONA SCUTELLARIS EM COLMEIAS CONSTRUÍDAS COM DIFERENTES TIPOS DE MADEIRA: TERMORREGULAÇÃO E PRODUÇÃO DA MELIPONA SCUTELLARIS EM COLMEIAS

2023
Objetivou-se com essa revisão resumir os achados para avaliar o controle da temperatura pelas abelhas Melipona scutellaris, no interior das colmeias comerciais confeccionadas com diferentes tipos de madeiras (Pinus e Macaúba) e troncos de macaúba. A criação de meliponíneos é uma prática antiga realizada, especialmente, entre as populações indígenas que

Quality of Brazilian stingless bee honeys: Cephalotrigona capitata/mombucão and Melipona scutellaris Latrelle/uruçu

Food Chemistry, 2023
Honeys produced by stingless bees Cephalotrigona capitata and Scutellaris Latrelle in the Caatinga and Atlantic Forest biomes were characterized in terms of chemical composition, antioxidant activity and phenolic, volatile and sensory profile. 'Mombucão' honey showed higher water activity, acidity, % sucrose and % organic acids, while 'uruçu' honey ...

Metals in geopropolis from beehive of Melipona scutellaris in urban environments

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Geopropolis, a different type of propolis, presents a mixture of resin and exudates, containing wax, silt, and sand particles. This product has been the subject of research interest for its physicochemical properties, economic importance, and likely for environmental monitoring. The determination of toxic metals in hive products has been reported as an

Complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Melipona scutellaris , a Brazilian stingless bee

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
Melipona scutellaris is a Brazilian stingless bee species and a highly important native pollinator besides its use in rational rearing for honey production. In this study, we present the whole mitochondrial DNA sequence of M. scutellaris from a haploid male. The mitogenome has a size of 14,862 bp and harbors 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes

Oral Toxicity of Fipronil Insecticide Against the Stingless Bee Melipona scutellaris (Latreille, 1811)

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2012
For a better evaluation of the model using Apis mellifera in toxicology studies with insecticides, the oral acute toxicity of the insecticide fipronil against the stingless bee Melipona scutellaris was determined. The results showed that fipronil was highly toxic to M.

Paenibacillus polymyxa Associated with the Stingless Bee Melipona scutellaris Produces Antimicrobial Compounds against Entomopathogens

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2018
Social insects are frequently observed in symbiotic association with bacteria that produce antimicrobial natural products as a defense mechanism. There is a lack of studies on the microbiota associated with stingless bees and their antimicrobial compounds.

Chemical, Microbiological, and Palynological Composition of the “Samburá” Melipona scutellaris Pot-Pollen

2018
Pollen is an excellent source of protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins and is considered a food of high nutritional value as well as a source of income from economic diversification through beekeeping. In rational stingless beekeeping, known as meliponiculture, the pollen collected comes from storage pots inside the nest and is called pot ...
