Neonicotinoid effects on tropical bees: Imidacloprid impairs innate appetitive responsiveness, learning and memory in the stingless bee Melipona quadrifasciata.

Science of the Total Environment, 2023
Together with other anthropogenic factors, pesticides play a major role in pollinator decline worldwide. Most studies on their influence on pollinators have focused on honey bees given the suitability of this insect for controlled behavioral testing and ...

Unique physicochemical properties and rare reducing sugar trehalulose mandate new international regulation for stingless bee honey.

Food Chemistry, 2021
Stingless bee honey (SBH) of four stingless bee species (Heterotrigona itama, Geniotrigona thoracica, Tetragonula carbonaria, and Tetragonula hockingsi) from two geographic regions (Malaysia and Australia, n = 36) were studied for their physicochemical ...

Stingless bees and microbial interactions

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2021
Stingless bees (Meliponini) are a monophyletic group of eusocial insects inhabiting tropical and subtropical regions. These insects represent the most abundant and diversified group of corbiculate bees. Meliponini mostly rely on fermentation by symbiont microbes to preserve honey and transform pollen in stored food.

Brazilian stingless bee honey: Physicochemical properties and aliphatic organic acids content.

Food Research International, 2022
This study aimed to investigate for the first time fourteen aliphatic organic acids (AOA) in honeys produced by different species of Brazilian stingless bees (Melipona bicolor, Scaptotrigona bipunctata, Melipona quadrifasciata, and Melipona marginata ...

Effective pollination of greenhouse Galia musk melon (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus ser.) by afrotropical stingless bee species

Journal of Apicultural Research, 2022
An increasing demand for pollination services highlights the need for research on alternative pollinators for greenhouse and open field food crops. We compared the foraging behaviour and effectiveness of seven endemic African Meliponinae (Meliponula ...

Acute exposure to fipronil induces oxidative stress, apoptosis and impairs epithelial homeostasis in the midgut of the stingless bee Partamona helleri Friese (Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Partamona helleri is an important pollinator in natural and agricultural ecosystems in the neotropics. However, the foraging activity of this bee increases its risk of exposure to pesticides, which may affect both the individuals and the colony.
