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

Does the waggle dance help honey bees to forage at greater distances than expected for their body size? [PDF]

, 2015
A honey bee colony has been likened to an oil company. Some members of the company or colony prospect for valuable liquid resources. When these are discovered other group members can be recruited to exploit the resource. The recruitment of nestmates to a

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.

Sequence and expression pattern of the germ line marker vasa in honey bees and stingless bees [PDF]

, 2009
Queens and workers of social insects differ in the rates of egg laying. Using genomic information we determined the sequence of vasa, a highly conserved gene specific to the germ line of metazoans, for the honey bee and four stingless bees.

The Trade in Medicinal Animals in Northeastern Brazil

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Over the centuries, a significant part of the Brazilian fauna is widely sold, more specifically in retail stores or street markets. The objective was to characterize the sale of medicinal animals in five large northeast cities. Information about the sale of zootherapeutic items was obtained in the cities of Aracaju‐SE, Fortaleza‐CE, Maceio‐AL, Recife ...
