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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
