Nutritive value and apparent digestibility of bee-collected and bee- stored pollen in the stingless bee, Scaptotrigona postica Latr. (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini)
(Elsevier B.V., 2000-01-01)
In Meliponini bees, pollen is stored inside the hive. We compared the nutritional value and apparent digestibility of bee-collected and bee-stored pollen of Scaptotrigona postica. The results showed no differences in ...
Pollen reinforces learning in honey bee pollen foragers but not in nectar foragers
(Company of Biologists, 2020-11-16)
Searching for reward motivates and drives behaviour. In honey bees Apis mellifera, specialized pollen foragers are attracted to and learn odours with pollen. However, the role of pollen as a reward remains poorly understood. ...
A method for harvesting unfermented pollen from stingless bees (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Meliponini)
(INT BEE RESEARCH ASSOCCARDIFF, 2012)
Pollen traps used for harvesting pollen from Apis mellifera do not work for stingless bees, as most species have small entrances and rapidly deposit large quantities of propolis at any barrier in front of the nest. Some ...
Palynological and physicochemical characterization of Apis mellifera L. bee pollen in the Southern region of Brazil
(WFL PUBL, 2009)
Bee pollen has been used for many years in both traditional medicine and supplementary nutrition, as well as in alternative diets, mainly due to its nutritional properties and health benefits. Bee pollen production is a ...
The Botanical Profiles of Dried Bee Pollen Loads Collected by Apis mellifera (Linnaeus) in Brazil

Pollen substitutes increase honey bee haemolymph protein levels as much as or more than does pollen
(INT BEE RESEARCH ASSOC, 2009)
Adequate substitutes for pollen are necessary for maintaining healthy bee colonies during periods of pollen dearth, but testing them objectively is both time consuming and expensive. We compared two commercial diets with ...
