“…Pollen previously important in the reproduction of native bees was consumed by honey bees. At least 171 plant species were used by Africanized A. mellifera (Villanueva‐Gutiérrez & Roubik, 2004), and 250 pollen species were found in honey sampled throughout the Yucatan peninsula in the major honey production season, during the first 6 months of 2000 (Villanueva‐Gutiérrez et al. , 2009).…”

“…Pollen studies of both Africanized and European A. mellifera were conducted at two of the trap nest sites during 1990–91 (Villanueva‐Gutiérrez & Roubik, 2004). Additional pollen in honey was identified for Africanized honey bees from 78 sites in the Yucatan peninsula during the first half of 2000 (Villanueva‐Gutiérrez et al. , 2009).…”

Little is known of the potential coevolution of flowers and bees in changing, biodiverse environments. Female solitary bees, megachilids and Centris, and their nest pollen provisions were monitored with trap nests over a 17-year period in a tropical Mexican biosphere reserve. Invasion by feral Apis (i.e. Africanized honey bees) occurred after the study began, and major droughts and hurricanes occurred throughout. Honey bee competition, and ostensibly pollination of native plants, caused changes in local pollination ecology. Shifts in floral hosts by native bees were common and driven by plant phylogenetics, whereby plants of the same families or higher taxa were substituted for those dominated by honey bees or lost as a result of natural processes.

“…Las familias más importantes por el número de representantes encontrados en el total de las muestras son Asteraceae con siete tipos, Fabaceae con cinco, al igual que sucede en otros ambientes de la provincia (Sánchez, 2013) y del país (Tellería, 1992;1995;1996a;1996b;Basilio & Romero, 1996;Forcone y Tellería, 1998;Andrada & Tellería 2002;Fagundez & Caccavari, 2003, 2006Lusardi et al 2005;Cabrera, 2006;Naab & Tamame, 2007;Forcone, 2008). Las Fabaceae y Asteraceae también son importantes en las mieles de México (Villanueva-Gutiérrez et al, 2009;Ramírez-Arriaga et al, 2014), mientras que en las Caatingas, Brasil, las Fabaceae se registran con mayor representación seguida por Euphorbiaceae, Rubiaceae ubicándose Asteraceae en cuarto lugar (Oliveira & Ribeiro dos Santos, 2014). En Europa, Persano Odo et al (2007) menciona estas dos familias como las de mayor número de representantes en mieles de Italia y en el noroeste de España se las cita junto con las Ericaceae (Seijo et al, 1992(Seijo et al, , 1994(Seijo et al, ,1995Iglesias et al, 1993).…”

Resumen: Se realizó el análisis palinológico de once muestras de miel pertenecientes a la Zona I, Prepuna en la provincia de Jujuy. Se determinaron 38 tipos polínicos, destacándose aquellos correspondientes a especies nativas con 39%. Se identificaron como principales recursos nectaríferos Prosopis ferox, Tipo Papilionoideae, Arquita trichocarpa, Brassicaceae y Schinus areira y como asociación indicadora del origen geográfico:Summary: Palynological characterization of honey from Zone I: Prepuna (Jujuy, Argentine). We performed palynological analysis of the eleven honey samples belonging to Zone I Prepuna in Jujuy province. Thirty eight pollen types were identified, highlighting those correspond to native species with 39%. Prosopis ferox, Papilionoideae type, Arquita trichocarpa, Brassicaceae y Schinus areira were identified as main nectar resources and as association of indicator of geographical origin: Prosopis ferox, Schinus areira, Brassicaceae, Caesalpinia trichocarpa, Papilionoideae type, Plantago sp., Baccharis sp., Mutisieae, Poaceae, Asteraceae, Solanaceae y Verbenaceae.

“…However, the tajonal (Viguiera dentata) and tzitzilche (Gymnopodium floribundum) trees are the most important. Honeybees play a crucial role in preserving the Yucatan's forests, as they pollinate a number of tree and other plant species (Echazarreta et al, 1997;Villanueva-Gutiérrez et al, 2009). Apiculturists are aware of this and have a great incentive to protect native trees and plants, and to ensure that their immediate area not be deforested.…”

Being Part of the Land: The Responsibility-Based Yucatec Maya Land Ethos

For millennia Indigenous peoples throughout the Americas have had spiritual relationships with their lands and the beings on them. Today, a variety of political, social and environmental factors are redefining many Indigenous groups' land-based sustenance practices and livelihoods. Through these changes and new developments, however, scholars have found cultural continuity. My doctoral research describes the land ethos of the residents of the Mayan community of Xuilub (Yucatan), Mexico, and explains how it is understood and put into practice by its members. This project, informed by postcolonial theory, Indigenous geographies, and Indigenous knowledges (IKs) research, is part of a broader attempt to decolonize colonial histories and understandings about Indigenous peoples and their relationships with their territories. Through experiential learning and interviews over five trips to the area from 2014-2016, I have come to understand the Mayan land ethos as "being part of the land." I argue that this land ethos is guided by the cultural precept of 'responsibility-based thinking.' This ethos reflects a non-hierarchical view of the place of humans within a larger society (or Circle) of all beings on the land, and speaks to the importance of ceremony, offerings, and reciprocalrelationships. Furthermore, this worldview is not static, but is well suited to integrating new knowledges and innovations and adapting to changing social and environmental conditions, and is strongly connected to cultural identity and place. The Maya land ethos can be described as a spiritually informed way of seeing the world that informs and mediates personal and collective conduct by instilling in an individual and, by extension, a community, a sense of duty or responsibility to be part of the land, rather than a sense
