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.

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.

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 ...

Environmental Protection and Natural Resources, 2019 This article refers to the biology and ecology of stingless bees (Meliponini), living in tropical and subtropical areas. Similar to honey bees (Apis mellifera), stingless bees (Meliponini) belong to the category of proper social insects and are at the ...

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.

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)
