“…This value is considered satisfactory to cultivar BRS 133 (EMBRAPA, 2003). However, the average percentage of germination obtained in this research was lower than 91.02% reported by Chiari et al (2005a) working with the same cultivar. A possible explanation for that difference in germination rate is, while in this research this rate was measured in a field, Chiari et al (2005b) evaluating this rate in laboratorial conditions.…”

“…In covered areas, pollination cages were installed, made with nylon screen (two mm), supported by PVC tubes (¾ inch), and iron (3/8 inch), forming cages in a semi-arch with four metres wide, six metres length and two metres high, covering an area of 24 m 2 ( Figure 3) and this avoids the passage of insects (Chiari et al, 2005a).…”

“…The instability and risk of propagation of a gene to wild species are critical to maintenance of the environment (Chiari et al, 2008). Although the cross-pollination provides an increase in gene flow between plants there is a diversification with results remarkably favourable (McGregor, 1976;Free, 1993;Malerbo-Souza et al, 2004;Chiari et al, 2005a;Chambó et al, 2010). The genetic pollution is inevitable, whereas the transgenic pollen may contaminate conventional or biological fields located several kilometres from GM plantation (Scottish Crop Research Institute, 1999).…”

“…Pollination of soybeans by Africanized honeybees has been observed to increase yields by 50% under experimental conditions, with bee-pollinated flowers producing more and heavier pods than enclosed plants (Chiari et al, 2005). In faba beans, cross-pollination by insects has also been demonstrated to improve both yield and disease resistance (Suso, 2012).…”

“…Em algumas espécies vegetais pode ocorrer a autopolinização (Souza et al, 2007); enquanto que em outras há a necessidade do pólen ser recebido de outras plantas (Chiari et al, 2005). Sendo assim, surgiram muitas especializações entre abelhas e plantas, de forma que algumas espécies vegetais dependem diretamente das abelhas para manutenção.…”

RESUMO.A biodiversidade de abelhas no mundo é muito grande. São conhecidas cerca de 20.000 espécies. As abelhas são os principais polinizadores e são cruciais para muitas culturas agrícolas, além de contribuir para a conservação da biodiversidade vegetal. Muitas plantas de importância econômica dependem desses insetos polinizadores, que contribuem para aumento da produção de frutos e sementes. A criação de abelhas tem se destacado como uma das poucas atividades zootécnicas que causa baixo impacto ambiental e ao mesmo tempo proporciona um rápido retorno do capital investido. Altas taxas de mortalidade e o desaparecimento das abelhas deixam em risco a segurança alimentar nacional e internacional. Vários fatores podem contribuir para altos índices de mortalidade, dentre eles a morte da rainha, falta de reserva de alimentos, condições pobres de forrageamento em consequência da perda de habitat, exposição a pesticidas e doenças causadas por fungos, bactérias e parasitos. Entre as principais doenças que acometem as abelhas podemos destacar a Varroose, Loque Americana, Nosemosi e Desordem do Colapso das Colônias. Discutida a importância das abelhas, medidas profiláticas de controle e preservação devem ser tomadas a fim de garantir manutenção e sobrevivência das abelhas.

They are known about 20,000 species. Bees are the main pollinators and are crucial for many crops, and contribute to the conservation of plant biodiversity. Many plants of economic importance rely on these pollinating insects, which contribute to increased production of fruits and seeds. The beekeeping has emerged as one of the few animal husbandry activities that cause low environmental impact while providing a rapid return on invested capital. High mortality rates and the disappearance of bees leaving at risk the national and international food security. Several factors can contribute to high mortality rates, including the death of the queen, lack of food supply, poor conditions of foraging as a result of habitat loss, pesticide exposure and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria and parasites. Among the major diseases affect bees can highlight the Varroa mites, foulbrood American, Nosemosi and Collapse Disorder Colony. Discussed the importance of bees, prophylactic measures of control and preservation must be taken to ensure the maintenance and survival of bees.
