Background Recent declines in bee populations, along with increasing demand for
pollination services in urban, agricultural, and natural environments, have led to strategies to …

Stingless bees are an important asset to assure plant biodiversity in many natural
ecosystems, and fulfill the growing agricultural demand for pollination. However, across …

The reproductive biology of stingless bees is poorly understood, especially when compared
to other groups of social bees with great ecological and economic importance. However …

Plants and pollinators might respond differently to changes in climate, and thus plant-
pollinator relationships are vulnerable to spatial, temporal, morphological and recognition …

For successful establishment of meliponiculture with Trigona iridipennis Smith, several
attributes such as nesting substrates, orientations, elevation, internal characteristics of nests …

Cities provide resources for the animals that live in them or their surroundings. There has
been an increase in the number of ecological studies in urban areas, including interactions …

The foraging success of a bee species is limited to an environmental window, a combination
of optimal ambient temperatures and resource availability. Mismatches between flowering …

Mexico is part of the Mesoamerican region where ancient bee keeping (meliponiculture, or
stingless bee keeping) emerged and reached exceptional levels. Different events caused …

Pollen loads of Trigona iridipennis Smith were analyzed on a comparative basis between
rural and semi-urban areas of Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal in order to explore …

Despite the benefits of a diverse approach to crop pollination, global food production
remains reliant on a low diversity of managed pollinators, especially the European honey …
