Sex and Caste Specific Eye Structures in Stingless Bees and Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Trigonidae, Apidae)

, 1989
Morph-specific structural differences of the compound eyes and the ocelli were studied by means of corneal replicas, semi-thin sections, and SEM. Drones have enlarged compound eyes, especially in the honey bee, with a region of large ommatidia in the ...

Characterizing the Use of Botanical Resources from Pollen Loads from Apis mellifera, and Stingless Bees’ Pot-pollen Palynology: An Approach Using Network Analysis and Generalized Linear Models

Sociobiology
Pollen loads gathered by honeybees and pot-pollen stored by stingless bees are functional foods with commercial potential. The botanical origin influences the physicochemical composition of the corbicular pollen, Apis mellifera’s bee bread, and the ...
