A case of multiple mating in stingless bees (Meliponinae) [PDF]
Insectes Sociaux, 1998 In several stingless bee species many males aggregate in the vicinity of a nest when a virgin queen is present in the colony and is preparing for the nuptial flight. We report such male assemblage for Tetragonisca angustula. The departure of a virgin queen from the colony and the subsequent mating could be video-recorded, because the queen and the ...

Inheritance Pattern of RAPD Markers in Melipona quadrifasciata (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Meliponinae) [PDF]
Journal of Heredity, 2001 Melipona quadrifasciata is an important pollinator agent in several regions of Brazil. Data concerning the genetics of this species are scarce in the literature. In this work we used the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique to determine the degree of polymorphism and the inheritance pattern of these molecular markers in this species.
