“…Although with no direct reference to M. ferruginea , Kajobe (2006) observed that A. mellifera collects more and diverse pollen grains than the stingless bees M. bocandei and M. nebulata , and he indicated such differences could be correlated to their morphological variability such as body size. Generally, an A. mellifera worker bee has a total body length of 14.4 mm (surface area: 651 mm 2 ) ( Adeoye et al 2020 ) while a M. ferruginea worker bee has a total body length of 7.5 mm (surface area: 177 mm 2 ) ( Eardley 2004 ), and this morphological variability could have accounted for the observed difference in conidial acquisition between the two bee species.…”

“…El modelo resultante es estadísticamente significativo (p-value=0.0016), estando relacionados a través de la ecuación: Proteína = 3.08848 + 2.69686*Grasa Este modelo permite explicar el 47.21% de la variabilidad de la concentración en proteína de las flores estudiadas, con un coeficiente de correlación r 2 =0.687096, indicando una relación moderadamente fuerte entre las variables (figura 29). Existe poca información respecto a las relaciones entre componente de las flores, pero Adeoye et al (2020) encuentran en el polen de flores de girasol mayor contenido en grasa a medida que se incrementan los contenidos en proteína.…”
