Visual physiology of Australian stingless bees. [PDF]

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
AbstractStingless bees engage in a range of visually guided behaviours that require relatively high spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity. Although the eyes of honeybees, bumblebees, carpenter bees, and sweat bees have been studied extensively, there is limited knowledge of stingless bees.

Stingless bees (Meliponini): senses and behavior [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2016
Stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini) are by far the largest group of eusocial bees on Earth. Due to the diversity of evolutionary responses to specific ecological challenges, the Meliponini are well suited for comparative studies of the various adaptations to the environment found in highly eusocial bees.

The Foraging Activity and Pollination Services of Three Stingless Bee Species to Enhance Fruit Quality and Quantity of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus L.)

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2022
Insect pollination has been reported to have a better yield quality and quantity than artificial pollination. Wild bees, including stingless bees contribute to effective and efficient pollination on okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L.: Malvaceae).

The stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini): a review of the current threats to their survival

Apidologie, 2022
Pollination by insects is an essential service for the conservation of plant biodiversity, since it increases the rate of fertilization of flowers and therefore increases the quality and quantity of seeds and fruits.

Stingless bees as collectors of resin from Bertholletia excelsa Bonpland (Lecythidaceae)

Entomological Communications, 2023
Stingless bees build their nests using, in general, clay, wax and resins; in addition, these bees also use resins for defense against natural enemies and as an antimicrobial agent.

A Review of Habitat and Distribution of Common Stingless Bees and Honeybees Species in African Savanna Ecosystems

Tropical Conservation Science, 2022
Background and Research Aims Globally, concerns over a decline in insect pollinator abundance have been raised. Although bees were noted to be key pollinating agents for approximately 52 of the leading 115 global food commodities, they are currently ...

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

Basic 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.
