| dc.description | The cerumen collecting behavior of a stingless bee, Nannotrigona (Scaptotrigona) postica Latreille was observed. The behavior pattern seen in this activity resembles that in the propolis collecting of the honeybee, except for the peculiar raising of hind legs. Beside sueh normal collecting, the thieving of the ready-made cerumen loads from the hind legs of other individuals was frequently seen, which often resulted in secondary thieving by the robbed bees. Furthermore, the attacks of N. postica on honeybees working at the same place was occasionally observed. In connection with the fact that such attacks did not possess the role of territorial defense, a brief commentary is given concerning territorial defense in social insects. | en-US |
| dc.description | Se observa el comportamiento al colectar cerumen de la abeja melipónida Nannotrigona (Scaptotrigona) postica. Este comportamiento es muy similar al que se observa en la abeja doméstica cuando colecta propolis, excepto el levantamiento peculiar de las patas traseras. Además de dicha forma normal de colectar cerumen, se pudo observar con frecuencia el robo del material ya puesto en las patas traseras por otros individuos, los cuales alguna vez eran, a su vez, robados por los primeros. Ocasionalmente se observaron ataques de N. postica contra la abeja doméstica que colectaba en el mismo lugar. En vista de que dichos ataques no desempeñan un papel en la defensa territorial, se da un breve comentario sobre ésta en los insectos sociales. | es-ES |
