Cell provisioning and oviposition in Melipona beecheii (Apidae, Meliponinae),with a note on caste determination [PDF]
, 1999 We examined the food provisioning and oviposition process (POP) for worker- and gyne-producing cells of Melipona beecheii. POPs for both castes did not differ significantly in duration and number of trophic eggs oviposited by workers in the cells.

Pesticide Exposure Assessment Paradigm for Stingless Bees
Environmental Entomology, 2018 Although the importance of bees as the pollinators responsible for maintaining gene flow for many native and cultivated plants in ecosystems around the world is recognized, much of their biodiversity and behavior remains to be discovered. Stingless bees are considered key pollinators for several plant species in tropical and subtropical ecosystems and ...
