Abstract: Nectariferous and polliniferous resources are key to the survival of social bees, so identifying the origin sources allows the implementation of management actions aimed at a greater supply of nutrients for the colonies. Besides, defining the floral origin of honeys contributes to their characterization and commercialization. The objective of our work was to identify the plants that provide nectar to the bees Apis mellifera and Tetragonisca fiebrigi in northern Misiones, through palynological analysis of honey… Show more

“…In this last ecoregion they make up the list of genera that contribute substantially to beekeeping production (Salgado et al 1970; Salgado-Laurenti et al 2017; Cabrera et al 2019). Something similar was reported by Vossler et al (2010) and Flores et al (2021) during the analysis of honey from native stingless bees in the provinces of Chaco and Misiones, respectively.…”

“…and P. yalaense (Cabrera) Anderb. This pollen type was reported in previous studies in Apis mellifera honeys from the Yungas, where it is usually cited as Gnaphalium (Méndez et al 2016; Méndez et al 2021); its record in the present study is considered the first for honey from native stingless bees.…”

“…In Brazil, Tetragonisca angustula is the best-known species of the genus, concerning all aspects of its biology, having had its trophic niche studied by many authors (Iwama and Melhem 1979; Imperatriz-Fonseca et al 1984, 1989; Carvalho and Marchini 1999; Novais et al 2006; Rech and Absy 2011a; Barth et al 2013; Novais and Absy 2013; Novais et al 2013, 2014, 2015; Bastos et al 2020). Meanwhile, T. fiebrigi had its pollen niche analyzed by Vossler et al (2014) and Flores et al (2021) in Argentina, who pointed to a wide variety of plants from varied botanical families used as pollen and nectar sources.…”

“…For the northeast region, Novais et al (2014, 2015) reports low frequencies both for the Amaranthaceae and for Urticaceae. However, in studies with T. fiebri , in Argentina, the importance of Urticaceae is reported, being commonly represented by Cecropia pachystachya in honey samples (Flores et al 2021). Given that T. weyrauchi has a restricted distribution in the Mid-west and North regions of Brazil (Camargo et al 2013), we consider these resources as key to maintaining these bees, especially in urban areas.…”
