Characterization, Composition, and Bioactive Potential of Assa‐Peixe (Vernonia sp.) Honey

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In this study, pollen content, physicochemical parameters, quantification of phenolics and flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, UV spectrum scan, and substance identification by LC‐HRMS were evaluated in Assa‐peixe honey. The pollen content analysis confirmed 100% Vernonia sp. pollen, characterizing it as monofloral.

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.

Seasonal and Landscape‐Driven Variations in Forage Resources of Apis mellifera scutellata: Implications for Pollination Sustainability and Colony Health in Taita Taveta County, Kenya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used DNA metabarcoding to identify nectar and pollen plant species supporting honey bee nutrition across different landscapes and seasons in Taita Taveta County, Kenya. Forage availability was influenced by landscape and season, with exotic species (67%) dominating over native ones (33%), raising concerns about colony health and how the occurrence ...
