Beyond the well-known honey bees: an overview of stingless bees in Ecuador, their rearing, management, and threats

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement
Stingless bees are native to tropical climates. Ecuador, located in South America, has more than 200 species of stingless bees and a long ancestral history of using products derived from them, such as pot-honey, pot-pollen, cerumen, and propolis.

Projected Climate‐Suitable Area for Apis mellifera (Apidae) and Its Spatial Overlap With a Mining Tailings Footprint in South‐East Brazil

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1017-1024, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change and environmental disasters can jointly impact species distributions and ecosystem stability, including pollinators and the resources they rely on. We used occurrence and climate data to predict the distribution of Apis mellifera in the Doce River Basin, south‐east Brazil, under baseline and future scenarios (2050).

Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Geopropolis From Four Melipona Species From the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geopropolis from four Melipona species collected in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest during the dry and rainy seasons was chemically characterized by ESI(‐)‐FT‐ICR MS and evaluated for antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and antifungal activities, demonstrating species‐ and season‐dependent variation in its chemical composition and biological properties ...

Chitosan‐protected dsRNA increases efficacy against Helicoverpa armigera without compromising biosafety for pollinators

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7746-7757, August 2026.
Chitosan/tripolyphosphate/double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) nanoparticles enhance RNA interference efficacy of orally delivered dsRNA against Helicoverpa armigera. Nanoparticles reduce the LC50 and do not cause deleterious effects or toxicity on beneficial insects.

Assessing pathogen risks to Australian stingless bees [PDF]

, 2020
The greatest challenges faced by honeybees and beekeeping are pests and diseases. To safeguard against the risks posed by these threats, various native bee species are being used or at least considered as potentially substituting for the role of ...

First large-scale study reveals important losses of managed honey bee and stingless bee colonies in Latin America

Scientific Reports
Over the last quarter century, increasing honey bee colony losses motivated standardized large-scale surveys of managed honey bees (Apis mellifera), particularly in Europe and the United States.

Diversity of Mites Associated With Stingless Bees (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) in Forest Fragments in Brazil: Empirical Validation of an Efficient and Low‐Cost Sampling Method

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Despite the importance of understanding mite–bee interactions, standardized and noninvasive methods for sampling mite communities in stingless bee hives remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate a novel, low‐cost sampling technique using a custom‐built suction device, the Portable Mite Aspirator (PMA), for collecting mites from hives of ...

Multi‐angle, cross‐domain fusion strategy enhances automated insect identification and hierarchical categorization: a case study on assassin bugs (Hemiptera: Reduviidae)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 358-373, August 2026.
Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...
