Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.

Cytogenomics of <i>Frieseomelitta varia</i> (Hymenoptera: Apidae) and the Sharing of a Satellite DNA Family in Several Neotropical Meliponini Genera. [PDF]
Genes (Basel)Background/Objectives: A striking feature of the karyotypes of stingless bees is the large amount of heterochromatin present in most species. Cytogenomic studies performed in some Meliponini species have suggested that evolutionary events related to the ...
