New horizons on stingless beekeeping (apidae, Meliponini). [PDF]
, 2015 A criação de abelhas sem ferrão, ou meliponicultura, é uma atividade antiga, especialmente nos Neotrópicos. Atualmente, especialmente no Brasil, ela experimenta um novo florescimento, sendo amplamente praticada em várias regiões, pela criação de diversas

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 ...

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 403-425, September 2025.We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Distinct Intra‐ and Interspecific Foraging Patterns of Stingless Bee Species as a Conservation Tool
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.In this study, we examined the foraging patterns of three rescued stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas using melissopalynology and plant–pollinator network analysis. We found distinct floral foraging patterns both within and among three stingless bee species in the Bolivian Yungas, suggesting niche partitioning at multiple levels.

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)

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.

Age polyethism in Plebeia emerina (Friese) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colonies related to propolis handling [PDF]
, 2010 Stingless bees collect plant resins and make it into propolis, although they have a wider range of use for this material than do honey bees (Apis spp.). Plebeia spp.

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 ...
