Insect floral visitors vary spatiotemporally and influence fruit production in mango orchards

Ecological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 6, Page 1121-1136, December 2025.
Native stingless bees (Tetragonula spp.) were the most abundant flower visitors in mango orchards, and their visitation sharply declined with distance from native vegetation. Hover flies and stingless bees showed complementary spatiotemporal visitation patterns, but hover flies could not fully offset pollination loss deeper in the orchard.

Proximity to Natural Habitat Is Not Consistently Associated With Pollination Services in Tropical Smallholder Farms: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis of 35 studies to examine the relationship between distance to natural habitat and pollinator abundance, species richness and crop fruit set in tropical smallholder farms. We found no consistent effects on abundance or fruit set, and only a slight, highly variable negative effect on pollinator richness,

Botanical Origin and Nutritional Values of Bee Bread of Stingless Bee (Heterotrigona itama) from Malaysia

, 2020
Bee bread is the bee-collected pollen with the mixture of honey and bee salivary enzymes, stored inside the bee hive. Malaysia has limited information on bee bread collected by the stingless bee Heterotrigona itama.

Beetle Pollination in the Holoparasitic Lophophytum pyramidale (Balanophoraceae): A New Case of Brood‐Pollination Mutualism?

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1542-1554, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Beetle pollination is considered an ancestral trait in angiosperms, retained in a few specialised families engaging in longstanding interactions with ancient groups of beetles. While beetles represent some of the earliest angiosperm pollinators, there is also increasing evidence that some beetle‐pollinated plants represent a derived condition.

Distance and habitat drive fine scale stingless bee (Hymenoptera: Apidae) community turnover across naturally heterogeneous forests in the western Amazon

Sociobiology, 2014
High tree species richness in the western Amazon has been attributed to heterogeneous soils, which harbor edaphic specialist trees. While rapid transitions in tree communities are well documented across these variable soils few studies have investigated ...

A Scientific Note on a Stingless Bee Hive Model for Ecological and Behavioral Studies and for Environmental Education

Sociobiology, 2019
Stingless bees (Apidae; Meliponini) occupy a great diversity of habitats in tropical and subtropical regions. They are eusocial and live in sessile colonies. Most meliponini species build nests in pre-existing cavities, such as tree hollows and stingless
