“…Ambas especies florecen en el período de más baja precipitación pluvial. En el período de junio a noviembre (período de mayor precipitación pluvial) florecen una alta proporción de leguminosas y enredaderas; sin embargo, solamente se cosecha un 8 % del total anual (9) .…”

RESUMENEl método cuantitativo de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa (qPCR), seguido por análisis de curvas de disociación, fue desarrollado para la detección rápida y simultánea de la composición botánica en mieles de la Península de Yucatán, México. Cinco muestras de miel ciclo apícola 2013 y cinco del 2014, se caracterizaron para definir el contenido de cinco especies de plantas de importancia apícola; Viguiera dentata, Gymonopodium floribundum, Piscidia piscipula, Acacia angustissima y Mimosa bahamensis. These results correlate to melissopalynological analysis for most cases. P. piscipula was not detected in any honey sample; however, according to melissopalynological analysis A. angustissima was present in M-3 and M-4 even though it was unable to detect it, possibly due to a low or no similarity with generic genes sequence.

“…The Africanized bee may have more efficient grooming methods, which helps remove the mites or the Varroa may be less attracted to the Africanized bee. In parts of Brazil where the levels of Africanization are essentially 100%, there are very low levels of Varroa (Echazarreta et al, 1997).…”

“…The unforeseen introduction of the more aggressive and invasive Africanized honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata) can be seen as a "surprise" in the adaptive management sense. in the early 1980s, the agricultural secretary -Secretario de Agricultura, Ganaderia y Desarrollo Rural (SAGAR) -helped prepare beekeepers for the event of the Africanized honeybee's coming by informing locals about their eminent arrival and advising the beekeepers on simple management methods to help them cope (Echazarreta et al, 1997).…”

Effects of invasive Africanized honey bees (Apis Mellifera Scutellata) on native stingless bee populations (Meliponinae) and traditional Mayan beekeeping in Central Quintana Roo, Mexico

The stingless bee species most important to the Maya, Melipona beecheii, has become extremely rare, and this has caused a breakdown of stingless beekeeping tradition, compounded with the pressure of the market economy, which fuels Apis beekeeping and has lessened the influence of vi traditional practices. The community with the heaviest amount of human induced ecosystem disturbance also had the lowest degree of bee diversity, while the area with the most intact ecosystem had the highest diversity of stingless bees, though Apis mellifera was still the dominant species. Aggressive competitive behavior involving physical attacks by Apis mellifera against stingless bees was observed on several occasions, and this is a new observation previously unreported by science. Human induced disturbance of the ecosystem and competition with the Africanized honey bee are affecting the diversity and abundance of various bee species.
