Pollen niche of Melipona (Melikerria) interrupta (Apidae: Meliponini) bred in a meliponary in a terra-firme forest in the central Amazon
Monthly corbicular samples derived from weekly collections of Melipona (Melikerria) interrupta (Apidae: Meliponini) were analyzed alongside a single honey sample between January to December 2012. The botanical families Arecaceae, Melastomataceae and Solanaceae were the most representative in the cor...
