1. Chemical profile and antioxidant activity of geopropolis from Melipona subnitida collected inside and outside the nest
Melipona subnitida (“jandaíra”) is a species of stingless bee endemic to the Caatinga, a dry forest in the northeastern Brazilian semi-arid. Propolis is a product containing beeswax and plant resin. It contains compounds that can be able to prevent health problems by protecting cells against damage by oxidative agents. M. subnitida produces geopropolis,

2. Pollen sources used by Frieseomelitta Ihering 1912 (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) bees along the course of the Rio Negro, Amazonas, Brazil
ABSTRACT Insect pollination has influenced the evolution and diversification of angiosperms. Consequently, knowing plants used as food sources by bees, the most important pollinator group, is the first step toward understanding how their ecological relationships works. Pollen source information is also highly relevant for bee management and associated fruit

3. Native and ornamental exotic resources in pollen loads and garbage pellets of four stingless bees (Apidae, Meliponini) in an urban environment with riparian native forest
Abstract: An entomopalynological study to assess pollen use by wild bees was performed in an urban environment with riparian native forest in the Chaco region of Argentina. A combined method for sampling pollen loads and garbage pellets at nest entrances in four stingless bees with different entrance size and forager traffic was here successfully used. Samp

4. Phenolic compound, nutritional and antioxidant profile of pollen collected by the genus melipona in North Eastern Brazil
Resumo O pólen coletado pelas abelhas eussociais é frequentemente relatado como um alimento saudável devido às suas propriedades nutricionais e terapêuticas importantes. Entretanto, estudos relatando tais propriedades são raros, especialmente para o pólen coletado pelo gênero Melipona, no Nordeste brasileiro, que é o foco desta pesquisa. O pólen de

5. Brazilian stingless bee propolis and geopropolis: promising sources of biologically active compounds
ABSTRACT Stingless bee products such as honey, pollen, propolis, and geopropolis have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of several illnesses. Investigation of the biological activity of stingless bee products, especially propolis and geopropolis, has revealed promising therapeutic properties. About 20% of total Neotropical sti

6. Development and validation of a high-performance thin layer chromatography method for the simultaneous quantitation of α- and γ-mangostins in Thai stingless bee propolis
ABSTRACT Stingless bees (Apoidea) are widely distributed and commercially cultivated in artificial hives in fruit gardens. Their propolis are commonly used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases (e.g., abscesses, inflammations, and toothaches) and as a constituent of numerous health products. Thus, this study aimed to (i) develop and validate a hi

7. Antileishmanial activity and chemical composition from Brazilian geopropolis produced by stingless bee Melipona fasciculata
ABSTRACT Geopropolis is produced by some stingless bee species such as Melipona fasciculata and consists of a mixture of plant resins, salivary secretions of the bee, wax, and soil. This study evaluated the antileishmanial activity in vitro, cytotoxicity and chemical composition of geopropolis produced by M. fasciculata in the savannah region of Maranhão, B

8. Geopropolis gel for the adjuvant treatment of candidiasis – formulation and in vitro release assay
ABSTRACT The geopropolis produced by the stingless bee Melipona subnitida (popularly called "jandaíra" in Brazil) is a mixture of resin, wax, and mud. This study analyzed the antifungal activity of the geopropolis extract from Candida spp., developed a gel formulation with this extract and analyzed the delivery of bioactives (kinetics release) in the formul

9. Partial characterization of ethanolic extract of Melipona beecheii propolis and in vitro evaluation of its antifungal activity
ABSTRACT The ethanolic extract of Melipona beecheii Bennett 1831, propolis from Yucatán Mexico was evaluated in vitro for the determination of its phenolic compound content, antioxidant capacity and antifungal activity. The results were compared against those of the ethanolic extract of Apis mellifera propolis. The total phenolic content, flavonoid content

10. Foraging behavior of the small-sized stingless bee Plebeia aff. flavocincta
RESUMO O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar o raio e comportamento de voo no forrageamento da abelha Plebeia aff. flavocincta, e testar a sua atração para diferentes concentrações de xarope de açúcar em diferentes distâncias da colônia. O padrão de forrageio ao longo do dia, a preferência das abelhas pela concentração em açúcar do néctar e

11. Eating with the enemy? Mimic complex between a stingless bee and assassin bugs
Abstract In this study, we record for the first time the genus Notocyrtus (Heteroptera, Reduviidae) from Argentina based on three species: Notocyrtus dorsalis (Gray), Notocyrtus dispersus Carvalho & Costa, and Notocyrtus foveatus Stål. We also describe and illustrate a mimetic complex comprising the three Notocyrtus species and Tetragona clavipes (Fabricius

12. Honey and bee pollen produced by Meliponini (Apidae) in Alagoas, Brazil: multivariate analysis of physicochemical and antioxidant profiles
Abstract This study evidenced the physicochemical composition and antioxidant activity (AA) of honeys (n = 31) and pollen (n = 25) of stingless bees species from Alagoas, Brazil. Fifteen parameters were studied under the light of a multivariate analysis. A dendrogram with three groups of honeys was stablished for the different bees, being the group III form
