Stingless bees are native to tropical and subtropical countries, such as Brazil. The wide variety of species, the sources of food collection (nectar and pollen), and the climate conditions strongly affect the chemical composition of the honey, making this a unique product with peculiar characteristi...
“Stingless bees preferentially visit and pollinate the canopy of native forest trees, unlike the introduced honeybees — Apis mellifera — that tend to pollinate introduced weedy plants at ground level,” says Buchmann. 无刺蜂会优先飞往原生森林的穹顶并为这些树木授粉,不像那些人为引进的欧洲种蜜蜂...
bees is widely appreciated as a food source. The composition of the honey of the stingless bees differs from that of bees of the genusApis(honey bees) (Vit et al.2004). The honey of stingless bees contains, in comparison to honey of honey bees, a more complex mixture of carbohydrates ...
Data on the functional relationship between fungi and stingless bees are scarce. Further studies on fungi from honey, inside nests, bee body, stored pollen and native plants are needed to understand the relation- ships between these organisms in tropical ecosystems, and the benefits that such ...
Across the world, the keeping of stingless bees is increasingly popular, providing commercial pollination, high-value honey and a rewarding pass time. The popularity of stingless beekeeping has resulted in large-scale anthropogenic movements of nests, sometimes from outside their native range. Colony ...
This species is found in Indonesia (Central Sulawesi [13] and Maluku), Philippine, New Guinea, Solomon Island, and Australia (Queensland) [14]. Studies of propolis components from stingless bees are still lacking, even though Apis mellifera species have been widely reported, especially in the ...
