A Preliminary Study of Chemical Profiles of Honey, Cerumen, and Propolis of the African Stingless Bee Meliponula ferruginea

Foods, 2021
Recently, the honey and propolis of stingless bees have been attracting growing attention because of their health-promoting properties. However, studies on these products of African Meliponini are still very scarce. In this preliminary study, we analyzed

New occurrence of B chromosomes in Partamona helleri (Friese, 1900) (Hymenoptera, Meliponini) [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009
Cytogenetic analyses of the stingless bee Partamona helleri collected in the state of Bahia, Northeast Brazil revealed the chromosome numbers n = 18 in the haploid males and 2n = 35 in the diploid females. All karyotypes displayed one large acrocentric B chromosome, which differs from the minute B chromosomes previously described in the populations ...

Thermal Tolerance in the Cellophane Bee Colletes inaequalis Reflects Early Spring Adaptation and Is Independent of Body Size and Sex

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
The cellophane bee, Colletes inaequalis, is a ground‐nesting, solitary species and key pollinator of spring plants. Our study shows it is thermally adapted to early spring conditions, with similar thermal traits in males and females despite differences in body size and emergence timing.

Queen turnover, nest usurpation and colony mortality in wild nests of the stingless bees Tetragonula carbonaria and Tetragonula hockingsi (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2025.
Abstract Social bees of the tribe Meliponini (stingless bees) are used as managed pollinators of crops throughout the world's tropical and subtropical regions. On Australia's East Coast, two native species—Tetragonula carbonaria and Tetragonula hockingsi—are the most widely propagated in hives, but knowledge of their biology and ecology in natural ...

Description of an ancient social bee trapped in amber using diagnostic radioentomology [PDF]

, 2018
The application of non-invasive imaging technologies using X-radiation (diagnostic radioentomology, ‘DR') is demonstrated for the study of amber-entombed social bees. Here, we examine the external and internal morphology of an Early Miocene (Burdigalian)

Wasps Beyond Bees: Crop Species of Spondias (Anacardiaceae) Vary in Floral Scent and Attract Different Pollinator Taxa

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1070-1083, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Spondias species are increasingly valued for their fruit production, which relies heavily on insect pollination. The flowers of these species are generalised, attracting a diverse array of insect visitors, including bees, beetles, flies, wasps and butterflies.

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization [PDF]

, 2015
Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies.
