“…Pagano and Araújo (2010) reported on the diversity of the native vegetation of the Brazilian north-eastern semi-arid region. However, the pollen spectrum of beehive products of stingless bees (Melipona quadrifasciata anthidioides Lepeletier, 1836, Melipona scutellaris Latreille, 1811, Tetragonisca angustula Latreille, 1811) and Africanised bees (Apis mellifera, Linnaeus, 1758) of this region commonly displays a large number of representatives of Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Rubiaceae and Myrtaceae (Novais et al 2013(Novais et al , 2015Costa et al 2015;Oliveira et al 2016).…”

Pollen in honey reflects its botanical origin and melissopalynology is used to identify origin, type, and quantities of pollen grains of the botanical species visited by bees. This study aimed to identify the pollen spectrum of honeys from Apis mellifera and stingless bees produced in the semi-arid region of Bahia, Brazil. We analysed 78 honey samples, which were submitted to the acetolysis process for identification and quantification of pollen types. Fabaceae, Asteraceae and Euphorbiaceae were the most predominant families in pollen types. For Fabaceae, the most representative pollen types were Chamaecrista 1, Mimosa caesalpiniifolia, Mimosa pudica, Mimosa tenuiflora, Prosopis and Senna. The results indicate that the flora explored by the bees to collect nectar is diverse in the semi-arid region of Bahia and the honeys analysed were classified as multifloral.

“…The Fabaceae family also stood out in this study, and it has been highlighted in several studies focused on bee pollen produced in the Northeastern region (Muniz & Brito 2007;Novais et al 2010;Poderoso et al 2012;Costa et al 2015;and Alves & Santos 2018). Carvalho & Marchini (1999) emphasized that within Fabaceae, the Mimosoideae clade includes several species with an important polliniferous potential that are constantly visited by honey bees.…”

Pollen profile of bee pollen from semiarid Northeastern Brazil

2022

The Northeastern Brazil has xerical vegetation with different biomes. Its botanical heterogeneity represents shelter for diverse fauna. The region is rich in bees, which demand the resources offered by the plants, and provide pollination services. Bee pollen has been used as a beneficial food source for humans due to its high nutritional content and being a natural antioxidant. Pollen analysis can determine the plant species visited by bees, using them as the source of pollen supply. This study aimed to identify the main pollen types present in the pollen collected by Apis mellifera in the Northeastern Brazil and to define its botanical affinity. Commercial bee pollen samples produced in the region were treated by acetolysis method, mounted on slides, and the frequency of occurrence was estimated for each type of pollen. It was possible to distinguish 113 pollen types belonging to 35 botanical families, distributed in 92 genera. Fabaceae and Asteraceae were the families that most contributed to pollen types. Pollen types of Cocos nucifera and Myrcia were found in more than 50% of the samples. The families Arecaceae and Fabaceae showed high beekeeping potential. There is a striking similarity between the pollen samples from the states of Pernambuco and Rio Grande Norte.

“…Fabaceae, Myrtaceae e Poaceae foram às famílias que apresentaram maior frequência (69,57%, 67,86%, 63,04%, respectivamente) nas amostras. Presente em 80% das amostras a família Fabaceae é considerada uma importante fornecedora de fontes polínicas, o elevado potencial apícola da família Fabaceae-Mimosoideae destaca-se devido à sua ampla distribuição na região (Marques et al, 2007;Costa et al, 2015). As leguminosas (Fabaceae) são fontes de néctar e pólen para as abelhas e outros animais que necessitam destes recursos (Oliveira et al, 2009).…”

“…As leguminosas (Fabaceae) são fontes de néctar e pólen para as abelhas e outros animais que necessitam destes recursos (Oliveira et al, 2009). O grão de pólen é a principal fonte de nitrogênio para as abelhas, sendo coletado nas fontes florais e estocado para a dieta da colônia (Costa et al, 2015 A família Myrtaceae apresentou uma predominância de 40% entre as amostras. As plantas desta família foram observadas em abundância de flores no período de coleta do néctar pelas abelhas, explicando a maior frequência dos grãos de pólen.…”

This study aimed to determine the quality and antimicrobial action of Melipona asilvai honeys from the semiarid region of Bahia. For this, melissopalinological, microbiological, physical-chemical parameters and determination of antimicrobial activity were analyzed. The honey samples were characterized as polifloral, with predominance of the families Fabaceae (69.57%), Myrtaceae (67.86%) and Poaceae (63.04%). Melipona asilvai honeys showed microbiological and physicochemical quality in compliance with current standards for stingless social bees. Bactericidal action was observed in 40% of the samples for Staphylococcus aureus, related to the pollen type Myrcia with 67.86% (S1) and 51.60% (S2), with minimum bactericidal concentration (CMB) of 15% (S1) and 25% (S2). Bactericidal action of Escherichia coli was observed in 60% of the samples between 95% and 90%, while the bacteriostatic action was observed in 80% of the samples between concentrations 95% and 65%. Samples of M. asilvai honeys showed hygienic-sanitary quality and are suitable for consumption as food. The therapeutic properties of these honeys should be emphasized, due to their high antimicrobial potential against pathogenic microorganisms, with activity associated to honey composition and its floral origin.
