Structure and ultrastructure of spermatozoa in Meliponini (stingless bees) (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Tissue and Cell, 2004In spite of their importance in the reproduction of phanerograms, few bees have received an adequate description of their sperm ultrastructure. In this study, we concluded that it was possible to define a characteristic pattern for Meliponini spermatozoa.

Signals and cues in the recruitment behavior of stingless bees (Meliponini)
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2008Since the seminal work of Lindauer and Kerr (1958), many stingless bees have been known to effectively recruit nestmates to food sources. Recent research clarified properties of several signals and cues used by stingless bees when exploiting food sources. Thus, the main source of the trail pheromone in Trigona are the labial, not however the mandibular

Review of Scaura Schwarz, 1938 (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)
Zootaxa, 2019Scaura Schwarz is a small, widely distributed Neotropical genus of stingless bees whose workers and males have the metabasitarsus as broad as or wider than the metatibia. The genus currently includes four valid species. A species complex composed of three additional species are described here as new (S. amazonica sp. n., S. aspera sp. n.

Colony reproduction in Tetragonisca angustula (Apidae, Meliponini)
Insectes Sociaux, 2000Colony multiplication of the neotropical stingless bee Tetragonisca angustula started with the finding of a new nesting site by scout bees, followed by the cleaning of the cavity. Cerumen was flown in from the mother colony for the sealing of crevices and the construction of an entrance tube.

Trap-nests for stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Meliponini)
Apidologie, 2012Most stingless bee species build their nests inside tree hollows. In this paper, we present trap-nest containers which simulate nesting cavities so as to attract swarms of stingless bees. Although regularly used by stingless bee beekeepers in Brazil, this technique to obtain new colonies has not yet been systematically studied.

Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Meliponini) of French Guiana
2012Eighty species of meliponine bees are listed from French Guiana. Distribution records are given for each species. Voucher specimens are preserved in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (various collectors), Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (Roubik collection), Natural History Museum in Lawrence, Kansas, and University of Sao Paulo in

A new species of the stingless bee Trichotrigona (Hymenoptera: Apidae, Meliponini)
Zootaxa, 2015Trichotrigona camargoiana sp. nov. from Candeias do Jamari, Rondônia, Brazil is described and illustrated, along with nesting and behavior, as the second species of the rare and unusual genus Trichotrigona Camargo & Moure, 1983. The new species differs from T.

Comparative Toxicity of Pesticides to Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2009Stingless bees are potential pollinators of commercial tropical crops and their use may increase in the short term. However, studies comparing the toxicity of pesticides to different individuals and species are lacking, making it difficult to evaluate their short- and long-term effects on colonies and populations of these insects.
