Differences between the quality of strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) pollinated by the stingless bees Scaptotrigona aff. depilis and Nannotrigona testaceicornis.
We investigated the success of two stingless bee species in pollinating strawberries in greenhouses. Three greenhouses and one open field area were used; one greenhouse had only strawberry plants (control), another (G1) had three colonies of Scaptotrigona aff. depilis and another (G2) had three colonies of Nannotrigona testaceicornis. In the open field area, the flowers could be visited by any ...

متن کاملA scientific note: Foragers deposit attractive scent marks in a stingless bee that does not communicate food location-2mm
Scent marking of profitable food sources improves foraging efficiency and helps social bees meet colony demands for unpredictable floral resources (Giurfa and Núñez, 1992). Sophisticated marking has evolved in the stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini); several genera recruit nestmates to profitable food sources with scent signals (reviewed in Nieh, 2004). Scent cues such as “footprints” (Wilms an...
متن کاملFeeding of the Bee Families with an Addition of CoSO4
For their normal living, honey bees (Apis mellifera) require proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins and minerals. It is well known that Co and vitamin B12 are two nutrients that have been reported in pollen and plants that have had positive results in bees feeding. In this respect, the aim of the study is to determine the influence of feeding of the bee families with CoSO4 as a supplement on...
متن کاملChemical basis for inter-colonial aggression in the stingless bee Scaptotrigona bipunctata (Hymenoptera: Apidae).
Inter-colonial aggression was tested using three colonies of Scaptotrigona bipunctata in a natural setting when their nests were moved and by artificial contact between individuals. Examination of the cuticular lipids of individuals from two colonies kept under identical conditions showed clear differences in their cuticular hydrocarbon profiles. The cuticular lipids were a mixture of hydrocarb...
