Melipona scutellaris Latreille, 1811 is of economic importance for local beekeepers, besides its relevance in the pollination native plant species Brazilian Atlantic forest. Currently, data on use floral resources by Meliponini colonies are scarce, particularly urban environments. We evaluated botanical origin, microbiological and physicochemical characteristics pollen stored M. an environment. The samples (n = 44) were obtained from metropolitan region Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, a intense...
The African-derived honey bee, Apis mellifera scutellata L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is reported to be somewhat resistant the parasitic mite Varroa destructor Anderson & Trueman (Mesostigmata: Varroidae). However, this considered a danger bee colonies around world and have negative effects in Brazil as well. Climate altitude can affect infestation levels of mite. impact climate on rates Africanized not well known; therefore, goal study was assess environmental bees Brazil. We sampled 193...
Approximately 72 pathogenic viruses have been described affecting the health of Apis mellifera colonies around world, causing weakening and mortality honey bees. The presence in Africanized bees (AHB) Brazil is poorly studied there a lack information about occurrence these country. Therefore, aim this study was to evaluate AHB Brazil. A total 84 A. from apiaries located 15 different Brazilian states were evaluated detect seven viral species (DWV, BQCV, IAPV, ABPV, CBPV, KBV, SBV) by...
This study records the difference of interspecific and intracolonial pigmentation on second metasomal tergum S. septentrionalis for first time. Differentiation in pattern was achieved using CorelDraw software. Three out five colonies studied presented reddish tergum, also differentiation colour intensity among castes were found colonies. new finding contributes an improved understanding differentiating species from this genus.
