Abstract: | The pollen present in honey in colonies of Melipona seminigra merrillae and Melipona interrupta bred in Manaus was analysed. Between August and October 2012, honey samples were collected from the Sucupira meliponary, located in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. We identified a total of 70 pollen types belonging to 35 botanical families. In the samples from Melipona seminigra merrillae, the most represented pollen types were: Miconia-type (Melastomataceae) was the dominant pollen (DP) in August (51.19%), September (76.83%) and October (58.33%); Triplaris-type (Polygonaceae) was an accessory pollen (AP) in August (20.5%); and the remaining pollen types were classified as isolated pollen (IP), with Talisia macrophylla (Sapindaceae) exhibiting the highest percentage in August (12.92%). For Melipona interrupta, the most frequent pollen types were as follows: Miconia-type was the DP in August (59.33%) and October (61.33%) and an AP in September (37.5%); and Triplaris-type was an AP in August (35.83%), September (34.16%) and October (23.33%). The diversity of pollen types was not significantly different between the bees in the months evaluated. However, there was a large significant niche overlap in the months studied, August (Oik = 0.95), October (Oik = 0.89) and September (Oik = 0.69), revealing that of the 70 pollen types found in the samples, 22 were shared by the two bee species in large proportions, 28 were exploited exclusively by Melipona seminigra merrillae and 20 were collected only by Melipona interrupta. © 2017 Collegium Palynologicum Scandinavicum. |
