Pollen calendar of six stingless bee species at Taman Pertanian Sekayu, Terengganu. Malaysian Journal of Microscopy, 19 (1). pp. 1-17. ISSN 1823-7010 (2023)



Abstract

A stingless bee is a eusocial insect from the Meliponine family living in a perennial colony that comprises a queen, workers and drones. They forage nectar, pollen and resin for their provision. This study aims to identify flower preferences among six stingless bee species (Geniotrigona thoracica, Heterotrigona itama, Lepidotrigona terminata, Tetragonula fuscobalteata, Tetragonula minor, and Tetragonula testaceitarsis) and records a pollen calendar for the full 12 months of observation.
