The bees have an important role in conserving biodiversity, such as pollination, since
they are pollinated in the ankle of 75% of plant species. Thus, it ensures the
maintenance of genetic variability, research and quality of various fruits. The pollen
spectrum of honey from Scaptotrigonaaff. xanthotricha was analyzed in order to
identify the botanical origin of the floral resources used by this species. The
identification of floral origin was performed based on the analysis of pollen types of 9
sizes of honeys collected from the Tapajós Campus meliponary of the Federal
University of Western Pará (UFOPA), located in Santarém-PA. The analysis performed
followed the standard method using the acetolysis process. Containers of at least 500
pollen grains per sample were made. From the results found, they were calculated as
percentages of pollen types and classified according to the relative frequency class. We
found 71 pollen types, defined as heterofloral, being the families Fabaceae and
Myrtaceae as most representative in the amount of pollen types, and one species most
frequent throughout the sampling period for Copaiferamartii. Spondiasmombin,
Myracrodruonurundeuva and Triplarisweigeltiana were classified as dominant pollen
(PD). Thus, it is important to understand the eating habits of stingless bees, and to know
the floral resources heard by them to invest in management techniques that are used to
maintain these bees in the colonies.
