Abstract

Meliponiculture, the rational breeding of native stingless bees, is considered an excelente sustainable alternative to assist in the pollination process and is an economically viable activity. In the cerrado of Tocantins, the meliponine species that stand out most due to their wide distribution are: Scaptotrigona tubiba, Melipona fasciculata,M. rufiventris and Tetragonisca angustula. The bibliographic collection about these species is still little explored, hence there is a need for research to deepen the existing knowledge in the area. For this reason, the aim of this study was: a) to quantify the honey production of four meliponine species: T. angustula, M. fasciculata, M. rufiventris, and S. tubiba; b) to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the product; c) measure the biological parameters of the colony and d) evaluate the profile and sensory acceptance of honey in the municipalities, Palmas and Miracema, in the Tocantins. The study evaluated the biological parameters of the colony, honey production, and physicochemical analysis. The highest honey production came from the species T. angustula in the two collections for the municipality of Palmas. For Miracema, the species S. tubiba and M. fasciculata were evaluated, respectively. The physicochemical parameters evaluated fit the norms assigned to honey quality control. Results showed that honey from M. fasciculata was the sensory profile that obtained the best average among the characteristics observed in the study. There was a positive and negative correlation between the biological parameters, with a significant difference only between the characters’ height and diameter of the honey pot.

托坎廷斯州中部地区四种无刺蜜蜂产蜂蜜的质量
Meliponiculture是本地无刺蜜蜂的合理繁殖,被认为是一种很好的可持续替代方法,可以帮助授粉过程,并且是一种经济上可行的活动。在托坎廷斯的塞拉多地区,由于分布广泛,最突出的美利波碱物种是:Scaptotrigona tubiba, Melipona fasciculata,M。红唇和舌四角。关于这些物种的书目收集还很少被探索,因此有必要进行研究以深化该领域的现有知识。因此,本研究的目的是:a)量化四种美利甘碱物种:T. angustula, M. fasciculata, M. rufiventris和S. tubiba的蜂蜜产量;B)确定产品的物理化学特性;c)测量蜂群的生物学参数,d)评估Tocantins的Palmas和Miracema市政当局对蜂蜜的概况和感官接受度。该研究评估了菌落的生物学参数、蜂蜜产量和理化分析。在帕尔马斯市的两个采集地中,蜂蜜产量最高的是T. angustula。对Miracema进行了分类,分别为S. tubiba和M. fasciculata。评价的理化参数符合蜂蜜质量控制的标准。结果表明,在本研究所观察到的感官特征中,束状蜜的感官特征平均值最好。各生物学参数之间均存在正相关和负相关,仅性状高度和蜜罐直径之间存在显著差异。

期刊介绍: SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes high quality articles that significantly contribute to the knowledge of Entomology, with emphasis on social insects. Articles previously submitted to other journals are not accepted. SOCIOBIOLOGY publishes original research papers and invited review articles on all aspects related to the biology, evolution and systematics of social and pre-social insects (Ants, Termites, Bees and Wasps). The journal is currently expanding its scope to incorporate the publication of articles dealing with other arthropods that exhibit sociality. Articles may cover a range of subjects such as ecology, ethology, morphology, population genetics, physiology, toxicology, reproduction, sociobiology, caste differentiation as well as economic impact and pest management.
