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.

Attractiveness and toxicity of two insecticides to Tetragonula laeviceps (Apidae: Meliponinae)

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022
Abstract Stingless bee, Tetragonula laeviceps, plays a primary role in ecosystem services as a pollinator for coffee, cocoa, and pepper. Attacks of insect pests cause low production of several plantation plants. Farmers commonly use synthetic insecticides to control insect pests.

Nest entrance types of stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae sensu lato) in a Tropical Dry Forest of mid-Western Brazil

Sociobiology, 2014
Characteristics of nest structure and nesting habits are useful in taxonomical, phylogenetic, and ecological studies, but for some environments this information is lacking. The external architecture of the nest entrance of native stingless bees (Apidae s.

Genetic Diversity of Melipona mandacaia SMITH 1863 (Hymenoptera, Apidae), an Endemic Bee Species from Brazilian Caatinga, Using ISSR

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
In order to evaluate the genetic diversity and structure of Melipona mandacaia, we analyzed 104 colonies collected in 12 localities in Bahia state, northeastern Brazil, using ISSR‐PCR. A total of 109 bands were obtained with a significant polymorphism of 72.47%.
