Nest-specific composition of the trail pheromone of the stingless bee Trigona corvina within populations
(Springer, 2012)
Social insects have evolved highly developed communication systems, enabling them to coordinate complex interactions in their colonies. Pheromones play a major role in the coordination of many tasks. In Trigona corvina, a ...
Learnt information in species-specific ‘trail pheromone’ communication in stingless bees
(Elsevier, 2013)
Specificity in biological signalling systems is often important to keep information private. Foragers of
several species of stingless bees deposit chemical marking signals to guide nestmates to food sources.
The markings ...
Comparación de la habilidad reproductiva y mortalidad del ácaro Varroa destructor en celdas con cría de obrera y zángano en abejas africanizadas de Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2014-10-31)
Se estudió la reproducción del ácaro Varroa destructor en celdas con cría de obrera
y zángano. Además se evaluó la mortalidad de la progenie de V. destructor, especialmente la
muerte o ausencia del macho. El estudio se ...
An unusual recruitment strategy in a mass-recruiting stingless bee, Partamona orizabaensis
(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2016-07-13)
Foragers of several stingless bee species deposit attractive scent marks on solid substrates to precisely recruit nestmates to food. Interestingly, Partamona workers quickly recruit large numbers of nest mates to resources, ...
The antimicrobial activity and microbiological safety of stingless bee honeys from Costa Rica
(International Bee Research AssociationTaylor and Francis, 2014)
Stingless bee honeys from Costa Rica possess etnopharmacological value mainly as a wound dressing. The microbiological study by APHA methods reported that 83 % of the honeys analysed had microbial counts that comply with ...
Reproduction of Varroa destructor and offspring mortality in worker and drone brood cells of Africanized honey bees
(Springer, 2012-01-24)
Varroa destructor is known to be the most serious parasite of Apis mellifera worldwide. In order to reproduce varroa females enter worker or drone brood shortly before the cell is sealed. From March to December 2008, the ...
An insight into the antibiofilm properties of Costa Rican stingless bee honeys
(Journal of Wound Care, 2017-04-05)
Our objective is to examine the the antibiofilm properties of stingless bee honeys. Meliponini honeys from Costa Rica were examined along with Medihoney as a reference. All honeys were submitted to a screening composed of ...
Asociación entre abejas sin aguijón (Apidae, Meliponini) y la flora del bosque seco en la región norte de Guanacaste, Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2019-01-01)
Las abejas sin aguijón son importantes polinizadores en regiones tropicales y subtropicales; están asociadas a la flora que les proporciona alimento, sitios para anidamiento, resinas, savia y exudados. Se buscó determinar ...
Estudio preliminar sobre la presencia de enfermedades en enjambres de abejas africanizadas (Apis mellifera) en diferentes zonas de Costa Rica.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2019)
Se estudió la presencia de enfermedades en 34 enjambres de abejas africanizadas, recientemente
establecidos en diferentes zonas de Costa Rica. De cada enjambre, se colectaron aproximadamente 100 abejas
adultas de la ...
Asociación entre abejas sin aguijón (Apidae, Meliponini) y la flora del bosque seco en la región norte de Guanacaste, Costa Rica
(Revista De Ciencias Ambientales, UNA, 2018-11-12)
Las abejas sin aguijón son importantes polinizadores en regiones tropicales y subtropicales; están asociadas a la flora que les proporciona alimento, sitios para anidamiento, resinas, savia y exudados. Se buscó determinar ...
