“…The place of greatest roots and development was in the region called Mesoamerica (southern half of Mexico, the territories of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Belize, as well as western Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica) (Arnold et al, 2018), the relationship between the people of the civilizations of this era and the stingless bees had an important value in social, economic, and religious aspects (Vásquez et al, 2021). The identification of species has been carried out using: a dichotomous key and morphometric indicators (Figueroa et al, 2016), although they classify species efficiently, they have limitations. Due to the above the molecular approach is considered the most appropriate.…”

Stingless bees are a group of eusocial insects, they inhabit tropical and subtropical areas of the world and approximately 500 species are reported. In the pre-Hispanic era in Mesoamerica, vestiges of meliponiculture are reported; the relationship between the people of the civilizations of this time and the stingless bees had an important value in social, economic, and religious aspects. The objective of this study was to perform an ancestor-descendant bioinformatic analysis with molecular data (mtDNA) of the Meliponines. Nucleotide sequences of the COI-COII fragments of mtDNA were obtained from the Nucleotide sequence database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), using the search and Entrez functions. The fragments the sequences were aligned with cluster and then a phylogenetic analysis of the native bee species reported for Mexico in the NCBI was carried out. Based on the COI-COII mtDNA fragments, it was possible to build a phylogenetic tree, finding evolutionary relationships between the species, allowing to demonstrate that species of the Meliponini Tribe diverge from a more recent common ancestor to a less recent one.

“…Venturieri et al (2012) suggest that the rearing of meliponine is an important alternative to the intense and constant rearing of Apis mellifera Linnaeus 1758, in particular, for helping with the pollination of native species and plants of economic importance, such as eggplant, pepper, pumpkin, strawberry, bell pepper, tomato, guarana, sunflower, and annatto. Because great part of food productivity is directly associated with pollination service by bees, the conservation of these insects has become even more relevant, especially when considering that the demand for food should increase as the human population size is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050 (FIGUEROA-MATA et al, 2016). Therefore, scientific studies that seek to investigate environmental effects that influence the survival and reproduction of bees are increasingly necessary.…”

Even though meliponines are among the greatest pollinating agents in Neotropical ecosystems, the populations of these bees are in decline due to anthropic actions, such as the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Neonicotinoids, such as Imidacloprid, are used in many crops and have been shown to be one of the pesticides groups with the most damaging effects on the health of bee colonies. The goals of this work were (1) to evaluate the ability of Melipona quadrifasciata, a native Brazilian stingless bee species, to detect the presence of Imidacloprid in artificial diets, and (2) to evaluate how this insecticide may affect their behavior. For this purpose, behavioral experiments were carried out in observation arenas where artificial flowers containing different concentrations of Imidacloprid (0%, 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) were made available to forager bees and their choice and behavior were registered. Our results showed that bee choices were not affected by the different concentrations of Imidacloprid, even at extremely high doses in the flowers (20%). It was also found that the presence of this insecticide interfered with the communication between individuals as a result of reduced antennation events. Both findings, the apparent inability of bees to detect the presence of the insecticide and the change in behavior caused by the exposition to the volatilized product, may rapidly lead to colony losses in nature.

“…Las abejas sin aguijón (ASA) se encuentran en las zonas tropicales y subtropicales del mundo, principalmente en Sur América, donde se halla la mayor diversidad de especies (Prendas, 2013). En total se conocen cerca de 400 especies (Freitas et al, 2009), de las cuales 300 se encuentran en el Neotrópico, desde México hasta Argentina; en Costa Rica se han identificado al menos 20 géneros y 59 especies, lo cual representa cerca del 15 % de la diversidad mundial de estos insectos (Aguilar, 2013;Figueroa-Mata et al, 2016).…”
