Infestation by Pyemotes tritici (Acari, Pyemotidae) causes death of stingless b...

We report the infestation of stingless bee nests by the mite Pyemotes tritici, which killed four colonies of Tetragonisca angustula and one colony of Frieseomelitta varia in Brazil. The first infected colony, a colony of T. angustula, came from an area between Uberlândia and Araguari, Minas Gerais. The transfer of the mites to the other colonies occurred through the transfer of infected combs and subsequent man...

Bees for development: Brazilian survey reveals how to optimize stingless beekee...

Stingless bees are an important asset to assure plant biodiversity in many natural ecosystems, and fulfill the growing agricultural demand for pollination. However, across developing countries stingless beekeeping remains an essentially informal activity, technical knowledge is scarce, and management practices lack standardization. Here we profited from the large diversity of stingless beekeepers found in Brazi...

Determinação de castas no gênero Melipona (Hymenoptera, Apidae): influência do ...

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação); A determinação de castas no gênero Melipona, envolve um mecanismo genético-alimentar que ainda não foi completamente esclarecido. Ao longo do ano, essas abelhas alteram algo na alimentação larval que aumenta ou diminui o número de rainhas formadas. O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar variações na constituição desse alimento entre alvéolos de uma colônia e...

Pesticide Exposure Assessment Paradigm for Stingless Bees

Made available in DSpace on 2019-10-06T17:02:48Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-02-13; Although the importance of bees as the pollinators responsible for maintaining gene flow for many native and cultivated plants in ecosystems around the world is recognized, much of their biodiversity and behavior remains to be discovered. Stingless bees are considered key pollinators for several plant s...

MICROBIOTA AND COSERVATION OF MILK

Milk contais a series of compounds such as water, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and trace elements. Its nutricional characteristics makes it an important substratum for the multiplication of microorganisms. The microbial contamination of the milk can take in two ways: the endogenous and exogenous, ranging quantitatively and qualitatively according to the existing conditions of hygiene. Raw milk kept under ref...

MICROWAVE RADIATION: APPLICATIONS IN FOODS AND MICROBIOLOGICAL IMPACTS ON MEAT

The demand for food, especially the consumption of meat and meat products, is increasing in countries that are in full development, however consumers are increasingly demanding about the quality of these foods. To meet this demand, many alternatives preservation have been proposed and investigated in order to reduce vegetative micro-organisms commonly associated with foodborne illness. Meat is an excellent subs...

Competição entre abelhas durante forrageamento em Schefflera arboricola (Hayata).

Schefflera arboricola (Hayata) Merr (Araliaceae) é uma planta exótica, porém amplamente cultivada no Brasil para ornamentação. Devido à abundância de flores que produz, esta árvore é altamente atrativa para abelhas Apis mellifera, bem como para diversos meliponíneos nativos. Schefflera arboricola oferece aos seus visitantes florais pólen e néctar, que são disponibilizados ao amanhecer. Apis mellifera possui amp...

Alimentação larval de Melipona (Hymenoptera, Apidae): estudo individual das cél...

Existem poucos estudos acerca da qualidade e da constituição do alimento larval das abelhas sem ferrão. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi acrescentar dados sobre as características do alimento larval, que embasem futuras pesquisas sobre a influência da alimentação das larvas na determinação de castas no gênero Melipona. Um favo recém construído foi retirado de uma colônia forte de Melipona scutellaris e o ali...
