Trigona branneri (Hymenoptera: Apidae) as a Collector of Honeydew from Aethalion reticulatum (Hemiptera: Aethalionidae) on Bauhinia forficata (Fabaceae: Caesalpinoideae) in a Brazilian Savanna

Sociobiology, 2012
The presence of aggregates of A. reticulatum on Bauhinia has been reported, but the insects were mainly attended by ants of the genus Camponotus, and stingless bees were not regularly recorded in aggregations.

The Role of Useful Microorganisms to Stingless Bees and Stingless Beekeeping [PDF]

, 2012
Bacteria, molds, and yeasts associated with bees have been studied for a long period. Although they seem to play an important role for bee nutrition and protection against harmful microorganisms, few studies have focused on their function and this subject is still very controversial.

A scientific note on the presence of functional tibia for pollen transportation in the robber bee Lestrimelitta limao Smith (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini)

Sociobiology, 2014
Stingless bees belonging to the Lestrimelitta genus shows a unique foraging ecology for the group. Instead of collecting food from flowers, these bees steal their food from other stingless bees’ hives.

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 ...

Thermal patterns in stingless bee colonies

The Science of Nature
Abstract Understanding the thermal dynamics of stingless bee colonies is essential for developing effective monitoring systems and promoting sustainable meliponiculture. In this study, we compiled and analyzed brood, nest periphery, and ambient temperature data from 36 stingless bee species reported across several published studies ...

Communication in the honey bees and stingless bees

, 2023
The social structure of a bee colony, in which thousands of individuals interact, is partly based on communication between bees. It is involved in controlling many primary needs such as nutrition, reproduction and even defense. Means of communication between bees differ according to species and tribes. Honey bees are able to emit pheromones which allow
