Stingless bees are abundant and diverse key actors in several plant-pollinator networks in the neotropics, but little is known about their natural history and ecology. This study aims to contribute to knowledge about the diversity and dispersion of stingless bees and discusses the importance of nesting substrates. It was carried out in the Araguari river valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where a nest site survey was conducted in an area of 100 ha during 11 alternate months from 2006 to 2008, for a total of 1,200 observation hours. Sixty-nine nests were found, belonging to 12 genera and 20 different species. Nests of Melipona rufiventris were by far the most abundant. Stingless bees nested more frequently in hollows of live trees (64%), and 11 different substrates were identified. -

Nesting is capitulated by 30 variables but most do not define clades. Both architectural features and behavior decrease vulnerability, and large genera vary in nest habit, architecture and defense. Natural stingless bee colony density is 15 to 1500 km−2. Symbionts include mycophagic mites, collembolans, leiodid beetles, mutualist coccids, molds, and ricinuleid arachnids. -

Maruyama1,2* , Carlos E. P. Nunes1 , Jeferson Vizentin-Bugoni3 , Simone Gustafsson4 and Leonor Patricia Cerdeira Morellato5 Received: April 12, 2018 Accepted: May 9, 2018 ABSTRACT Most angiosperms rely on animals for pollination, and insects, especially bees, are the most frequent pollinators. Many native Neotropical plants are frequently visited by the invasive honeybee (Apis mellifera), but its role in the pollination of these plants has been little investigated. We assessed the contribution of various floral visitors, including native bees and the honeybee, on the pollination of a generalist rupestrian grassland daisy, Aspilia jolyana (Asteraceae), in Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço Mountain Range, Brazil. We recorded floral visitors and measured the seed set resulting from one single visitation. We observed a total of 442 visits, mostly by bees, with Bombus pauloensis and Apis mellifera being the most common floral visitors. -

The experiment took place in the Chapada do Araripe, in the State of Ceará, Brazil, between July 2014 and June 2015. The study followed colonies in three ceramic pots and four wooden boxes. Observations of the flight activity of the bees and of the climate were made on five days every month, each colony being monitored for 5 min, at intervals of one hour, from 0500 to 1700. -
CHARACTERIZATION of ESTERASES in Tetragonisca Angustula and Tetragona Clavipes (HYMENOPTERA; MELIPONINAE)
REGULAR PAPER CHARACTERIZATION OF ESTERASES IN Tetragonisca angustula AND Tetragona clavipes (HYMENOPTERA; MELIPONINAE) Maria Claudia Colla Ruvolo-Takasusuki1*, Luiz Henrique de Oliveira Viana1, Tatiane Vicente Baitala1, Kely Cristina Nicolin1 and Vagner de Alencar Arnaut de Toledo2 1Department of Cellular Biology and Genetics, and 2Department of Zootechnology, Maringá State University (UEM), Maringá, PR, Brazil. ABSTRACT Esterases form a large, diverse group of enzymes with wide, overlapping substrate specificities and patterns of inhibition. These enzymes occur in a large variety of isoforms encoded by distinct gene loci with a high genetic variability and temporal differences in expression that make them appropriate for studying population structure. In this work, we investigated the substrate specificity and pattern of esterase expression in body parts of the stingless bees Tetragonisca angustula and Tetragona clavipes. Fourteen hives of T. angustula were collected in Cianorte and T. clavipes were collected from three colonies in Maringá, two cities in the southern Brazilian state of Paraná. The esterase electrophoretic patterns were determined using polyacrylamide gels. Seven bands of esterase activity were detected in T. clavipes (EST-1 to EST-7) and two bands in T. angustula (EST-1 and EST-2). There was variation in the tissue esterase activity of T. clavipes, with EST-6 occurring in the abdomen of workers and EST-7 occurring in cephalic/thoracic extracts. The differences in the number of esterase bands and substrate specificity were attributed to the number of esterase loci involved in each species, and/or variation in substrates specificities. The variation seen here should be useful for determining the role of esterases in intermediate metabolism in the Trigonini, as well as to use esterases as a genetic marker for this stingless bee. -

Departamento de Genética, Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto - FMRP, Universidade de São Paulo - USP; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Tetragona clavipes (Fabricius, 1804) bees, knowing as “borá”, is found in all Brazil country until south of Parana state. However in the São Paulo state, this species is not very common. Our main aim was, in São Paulo University Campus at Ribeirão Preto, to realize the characterization of the flight activity of this bee, showing possible relations some environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity and “A” type ultraviolet radiation. Data were obtained during September and October months (Spring) and showed that there is a high correlation between the start and finish of the flight activity and environmental temperature. However the UVA radiation and specially air relative humidity did not show relevant role on this behavior and they were considered secondary factors. KEYWODS: Flight activity. Tetrágona. Meliponini. Temperature. Ultraviolet radiation. Relative humidity. INTRODUCTION Therefore, knowing the Meliponini flight activity is essential for the understanding of the foraging The Apini and Meliponini (MICHENER, patterns of these bees, as well as to obtain subsidies 2000) are highly eusocial bees because they live in for the use of these insects on the crop pollination colonies built by a number of workers on different (PICK; BLOCHTEIN, 2002). -
