Stingless bee nesting biology [PDF]

open access: yesApidologie, 2006
Par rapport au genre Apis, les abeilles sans aiguillon (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) sont des sources variees et uniques de miel, avec 50 fois plus d'especes et une origine qui remonte au Cretace. Les reines s'accouplent une fois, les ouvrieres n'ont pas d'aiguillon, les mâles butinent, la cire n'est pas le materiau primaire pour la construction et

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Understandings and critiques of biocultural diversity conservation and future recommendations for conservation actors

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract As biocultural approaches to conservation gain traction (e.g., through international commitments to Indigenous Peoples and local communities) and external conservation actors increasingly seek to engage with on‐the‐ground holders of biocultural diversity, improved understanding is needed of what biocultural diversity means.

The Physicochemical Parameters, Phenolic Content, and Antioxidant Activity of Honey from Stingless Bees and Apis mellifera: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

open access: yesAntioxidants
The most common bee species used for honey production is Apis mellifera (A. mellifera), followed by stingless bees. This study included scientific articles using the PRISMA approach.

Socio‐psychological determinants of beekeeper conflict with bee‐eaters

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study investigates factors influencing beekeepers’ use of lethal control against native bee‐eaters in Iran using the theory of planned behavior. Experience, social norms, intentions, and economic dependence significantly predicted using lethal control methods.

Large Trees in Tropical Dry Forest Facilitate the Presence of Stingless Bee Nests (Apidae: Meliponini): The Case of Ficus crocata

open access: yesSociobiology
Stingless bees are a crucial pollinator group for the functioning of tropical ecosystems. While most species nest in tree cavities, the importance of different tree species for nesting bees remains poorly understood.

Within-bloom shift in abundance of a wild pollinator mediates pollen deposition rates to blueberry

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology, 2023
Intra-seasonal variation in abiotic and biotic conditions can have profound consequences for pollinator community compositions and foraging movement, with flow-on effects upon pollination services.

The deposition of anal excretions by Melipona favosa foragers (Apidae: Meliponinae): behavioural observations concerning the location of food sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Melipona favosa consistently deposited anal excretions while foraging. Anal depositions were released more frequently and by more bees on artificial food sources at a greater distance from the nest.

First Measurements of Mixed Floral Traits Influencing Anacardium occidentale (Anacardeacae) Attractiveness to Bees in Côte d'Ivoire: Conservation and Agricultural Implications

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This paper will contribute to include/use the bees' floral preference (floral traits related to bee' visitations) to find and validate genetic markers that would enable breeding high‐yielding cashew plants and preserving pollinators. ABSTRACT In Sub‐Saharan Africa, cashew plants face challenges in suitable pollination and good agronomic performances ...
