DNA Barcoding of Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Northern Peruvian Forests: A Plea for Integrative Taxonomy

Diversity, 2022
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are among the most important pollinators of tropical forests. Peru is considered a hotspot of biodiversity of Meliponini, but many areas of this country (e.g., Peruvian Amazon) remain unexplored.

Meliponiculture in agroforestry systems in Belterra, Pará, Brazil

ACTA Apicola Brasilica, 2021
In this study we characterized the honey production in agroforestry systems and inventing the species visited by stingless bees in the region of Belterra, Pará. We used a questionnaire applied to honey producers with questions that addressed socioeconomic conditions and the production of stingless bees, as well the plant species visited by bees ...

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) at risk in western Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 829-838, July 2022., 2022
We found a total of 14 stingless bee species, including two new records for the region. We identified three types of bee assemblages: one in hot lowland climates with tropical dry forest vegetation, one in temperate highland climates with mixed oak‐pine forest vegetation, and one in the warm ecotone with mixed subdeciduous forest vegetation between the

The role of agroforestry in restoring Brazil's Atlantic Forest: Opportunities and challenges for smallholder farmers

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 462-480, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of the biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding the potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits to smallholder farmers and biodiversity is essential in developing equitable restoration strategies.

Linking Measure of the Tropical Stingless Bee (Apidae, Meliponini, and Heterotrigona itama) Honey Quality with Hives Distance to the Source of Heavy Metal Pollution in Urban and Industrial Areas in Sabah, Borneo

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Honey is a natural product of bees, and its chemical composition depends on the nectar sources of the surrounding flora as well as environmental factors. However, keeping hives in areas polluted with heavy metals can affect the quality of bee products such as honey.

A Deep Metagenomic Snapshot as a Proof-of-Concept for Resource Generation: Simultaneous Assembly of Host, Food, and Microbiome Genomes From Stingless Bee Larval Food. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study serves as a proof‐of‐concept, demonstrating that deep shotgun sequencing of a single complex sample—stingless bee larval food—can simultaneously generate multiple genomic resources. From this dataset, we assembled three genomes (a near‐complete bacterium, a draft host mitochondrion, and a fragmented plant chloroplast) with varying ...

Richness and distribution of the meliponine fauna (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) in the State of Ceará, Brazil

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021
Meliponines, popularly known as stingless bees, present a great diversity of species widely distributed in tropical regions. Some species are rationally reared to obtain bee products like honey, pollen and wax, and most of them are important pollinators ...
