Abstract:

The availability of data on physicochemical properties is crucial to direct efforts towards identifying the quality standards of the Neotropical stingless bee Melipona beecheii’s pot-honey. In this vein, other properties apart from those typically considered for Apis mellifera could also be relevant in characterizing the honey of this stingless bee. The physicochemical, rheological, and thermal properties of pot-honey from Melipona beecheii (Yucatán, México) were analyzed. Samples were collected from two annual harvests (2018 and 2019) and from a rural and an urban location. Free acidity, mois

This research was carried out with the objective of characterize the hives, management system and health status of the stingless bee Melipona beecheii in the province of Cienfuegos. The survey was the method that used to evaluate all people with possession of colonies of M. beecheii bees Due to the lack of any registry that controls the meliponic activity in the province, the population and sample do not coincide.

Abstract:

There have been multiple project initiatives in the Yucatan Peninsula aimed to rescue the melipona bee (Melipona beecheii). Through an ethnographic study in the Los Petenes biosphere reserve in Campeche, Mexico, the present study registered the revitalization of biocultural elements associated with the melipona. From a decolonial approach, the study concludes that this revitalization promotes cultural identity, and the defense of the territory, complementing conservation efforts. Finally, the study recommends the implementation of an instrument to evaluate the biocultural dimension, with the p

Abstract:

The stingless bee Melipona beecheii is experiencing colony decline due to floral resource scarcity caused by deforestation. A study was conducted to identify the floral resources used by M. beecheii using honey samples collected in four regions of the state of Campeche, Mexico. A melissopalynological analysis of sixteen collected honey samples identified 69 plant species from 24 families, and established that Fabaceae was the main plant family visited. Based on botanical origin, seven samples were classified as monofloral and nine as multifloral. The predominant species were Bursera simaruba,

The Maya bee, Melipona beecheii, has been an integral part of Mayan culture on the Yucatan Peninsula for several centuries. In the present study, we explore the daily food-foraging behavior of M. beecheii during the year and compare its foraging behavior during summer and winter with the foraging behavior of honeybees during the same periods in the Yucatan Peninsula. Annual behavior showed a remarkable tendency toward pollen foraging during the early hours of the day, whereas nectar foraging peaked at midday. Factors such as season, resource, and hour significantly influence the daily activity

Abstract:

Melipona beecheii is a stingless bee that has been bred by Maya communities in the Yucatán Peninsula for over 2,500 years, and it has played a crucial role in beekeeping practices since then. This paper reconstructs the entangled history of this bee in the archives of taxonomy. It does so by first reviewing its former names such as Xunan Kaab in Yucatec Maya, “Domestic Bee of Yucatán” and “Mexican Domestic Bee,” and then asking what is discarded when a scientific name is given. The paper then discusses how nineteenth-century naturalists and taxonomists erased its domestic character while stand

Abstract For thousands of years, honey from stingless bees, mainly from Melipona beecheii, has been recognized as part of traditional Mayan medicine in the Mesoamerican region. Currently Melipona honey is the subject of research due to its nutritional, therapeutic and commercial value. Studies have been conducted to characterize Melipona honey produced on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula in, but the results have been limited. The low production and botanical-geographical origin of the honey increases the variability of the results and also the real number of Melipona beekeepers in the area is unknow

Abstract This article examines the role of the stingless bee Melipona beecheii in beekeeping practices in the Yucatán Peninsula, México, in the nineteenth century. Native to Yucatán, the Melipona bee is capable of producing large amounts of honey and has been bred by Maya communities for over three thousand years. In the twentieth century, the Melipona population declined with the implementation of modern apiculture, a system designed to maximize the production of honey and wax with the European native honeybee, Apis mellifera.

There is a claim that vanilla is pollinated by Melipona stingless bees, but vanilla is more likely pollinated by orchid bees. Natural pollination has not been tested in the Yucatán region of Mexico, where both vanilla and potential native bee pollinators are endemic. We document for the first time the flowe

Abstract:

En la naturaleza, las abejas sociales se enfrentan a un reto constante para garantizar la alimentación continua de la colmena debido a la variación de los recursos florales a lo largo del año y el paisaje. Conocer los recursos que utilizan y comprender cómo se distribuyen a lo largo del tiempo y espacio es clave para su conservación y la producción de miel. En el sur de Quintana Roo, el cuidado de la abeja nativa Melipona beecheii ocasionalmente requiere realizar alimentación artificial durante la temporada de lluvias, cuando la disponibilidad de recursos para las abejas es baja. Esto nos llev

Abstract:

La cría de la abeja sin aguijón ko’olel kaab (Melipona beecheii) es una actividad ancestral en vía de desaparición en la reserva Los Petenes. Por su importancia en la estrategia familiar en el área natural protegida y la conservación de la diversidad de especies de abejas nativas, se planteó el estudio de la situación y perspectivas de la meliponicultura en dicha área. Se usaron encuestas semiestructuradas, entrevistas con informantes clave y observación participante. Los resultados muestran que solo seis comunidades de las 17 manejan la abeja ko’olel kaab, los meliponicultores están constitui

Abstract:

La meliponicultura representa una de las actividades productivas tradicionales más significativas para la sociedad maya prehispánica, debido al valor simbólico de las abejas nativas para las sociedades mayas y al aprovechamiento de la miel. La trascendencia de la miel producida por la abeja nativa Melipona beecheii, conocida localmente como xuunan kab, se ha documentado desde la época colonial hasta las recientes etnografías, abarcando su producción, empleo y valor simbólico. No obstante, consideraremos indispensable identificar los mecanismos empleados desde la época prehispánica para conocer

Abstract:

La meliponicultura en Nicaragua es parte de la cultura ancestral, contribuyendo a la sostenibilidad de las familias. En este estudio se caracterizó el manejo de los meliponicultores de abejas sin aguijón en el municipio de El sauce. Se tomaron en cuenta todos los protagonistas que trabajan con la meliponicultura, se aplicó una encuesta a cada productor para conocer el manejo que se realiza en las abejas sin aguijón y uso de los productos derivados de la meliponicultura, y se identificó las especies de abejas sin aguijón. Como resultados se encontraron un total de 56 protagonistas involucrados
