Dominance of Capsicum minutiflorum (Solanaceae) pollen in stingless bee hives: An insight into protein composition and foraging behavior by four Meliponini species of the Bolivian-Tucumano forest

Dominance of Capsicum minutiflorum (Solanaceae) pollen in stingless bee hives: An insight into protein composition and foraging behavior by four Meliponini species of the Bolivian-Tucumano forest

Stingless bees (Apidae: Meliponini) primarily feed on nectar and pollen from a wide diversity of flowering plants. By doing so they pollinate these flowers thus contributing to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. The pollen they collect provides essential nutrients for brood rearing and colony gro...
