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.

The State of Beekeeping in India: Insights, Gaps, and Emerging Opportunities

Entomological Research, Volume 55, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT India's beekeeping industry primarily revolves around two domesticated honey bee species, Apis cerana and A. mellifera, which are central to commercial beekeeping. In addition, there are four wild honey bee species—A. dorsata, A. laboriosa (sympatric with A. dorsata), A. florea, and A. andreniformis (sympatric with A.

Identifikasi Diversitas Sumber Pakan Lebah Berbasis Lahan Pekarangan pada Meliponikultur di Nusa Tenggara Barat (Identification Of Bee Forage Sources Diversity Based On Home Garden In Meliponicultural In West Nusa Tenggara) [PDF]

, 2022
Kelulut cultivation (meliponiculture) has the potential to be developed in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) due to the availability of abundant natural bee forage resources. The meliponiculture in NTB is generally still on a home garden-based scale. However, the

Virulence and biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematodes against soil‐dwelling stages of the small hive beetle under laboratory and semi‐field conditions

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 4004-4015, July 2025.
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are virulent against multiple life stages of Aethina tumida in the laboratory. EPNs significantly reduce adult emergence in natural and autoclaved sterile soil under semi‐field glasshouse conditions. Abstract BACKGROUND The small hive beetle (SHB; Aethina tumida) is a significant pest affecting honey bees and the ...
