Produtos naturais no comportamento defensivo de Apis mellifera L.

Abstract: RESUMO.Os objetivos do estudo foram investigar a influência de produtos naturais como capim-limão (Cymbopogon citratus), folhas de abacateiro (Persea americana), casca de café (Coffea arabica) e sementes de mamona (Ricinus communis) na defensividade de Apis mellifera, e avaliar o efeito destes produtos no desenvolvimento populacional da colmeia. O comportamento defensivo foi avaliado por meio do tempo da primeira ferroada (TPF), número de ferrões (NFB) e, o desenvolvimento populacional, pela área de cria abert… Show more

“…We could observe that there was no influence of climatic variables on colonies defensiveness. Previous work, in the same place, found no significant correlations between time and number of first sting in the black suede ball with climatic variables (Lomele et al, 2010 Table 2. Mean values and standard deviation for apitoxin production (milligrams) of Africanized honeybees according the day time and time of production.…”

“…Nogueira-Neto (1997) states that, at the time of colonies inspections, it is advisable to use a veil and long-sleeved shirt with elastics over the cuffs in order to protect parts of the body that bees usually attack. Lomele et al (2010), testing the use of smoke from different combustion materials in Africanized bees, observed a reduction in the Number of Stingers in the Ball (NSB), with the use of smoke (39.7 ± 25.0 stingers), in comparison with the absence of smoke (62.4 ± 20.6 stingers). However, the use of smoke containing plant materials showed a significant reduction in NSB when compared to treatment containing only sawdust smoke (39.7 ± 25.0 stingers).…”

“…For A. mellifera L., the use of smoke during the management of colonies stands out among the practices that contribute to the success of beekeeping, since the smoke does not directly hinder the sting, but induces the behavior that hinders the sting, as well as masking the released alarm pheromones, such as isopentylacetate (LOMELE et al, 2010).…”
