Antiviral Action of Hydromethanolic Extract of Geopropolis from Scaptotrigona postica against Antiherpes Simplex Virus (HSV‐1)

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The studies on chemical composition and biological activity of propolis had focused mainly on species Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae). There are few studies about the uncommon propolis collected by stingless bees of the Meliponini tribe known as geopropolis.

Nesting behavior of Melipona scutellaris (Latreille, 1811)

, 2021
Ambience is one of the relevant factors in the rational breeding of bees. The uruçu bee (Melipona scutellaris) is a species native to Brazil, known for its large production of honey in relation to other meliponines and easy handling. Swarming, however, can destabilize honey production. The objective of this research was to study the nesting behavior of

Appetite for self-destruction: suicidal biting as a nest defense strategy in Trigona stingless bees [PDF]

, 2014
Self-sacrificial behavior represents an extreme and relatively uncommon form of altruism in worker insects. It can occur, however, when inclusive fitness benefits are high, such as when defending the nest.

Inhibition of Inflammatory Response by Artepillin C in Activated RAW264.7 Macrophages

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Artepillin C (3,5‐diprenyl‐4‐hydroxycinnamic acid) is the main bioactive component of Brazilian green propolis. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti‐inflammatory effect of artepillin C on LPS + IFN‐γ‐ or PMA‐stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT and LDH assays.
