Diversidade de abelhas em área de regeneração natural de cerrado: sua importância para o desenvolvimento vegetal, com ênfase na polinização

Abstract

Floral visitors (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) in the area of natural regeneration of Cerrado, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Bees foraging in the process were collected between June 2011 and May 2012 in the area of natural regeneration of Cerrado (Indian reservation Guarani-Kaiowá) south of the state. We collected 205 specimens of 4 families, subdivided into 5 sub-families for a total of 27 genera. Regarding flowering plant species were collected 11 families, 19 genera divided into 22 species. Among the plant families, Fabaceae was present in 7 of the 12 month study. The species Salvia cerradicola was that had the highest occurrence. The month of October stood out by having as many flowering plant families, together with March were the months with the highest occurrence of flowering plants and genera of bees collected. However, the results presented here demonstrate that the relationship between genera of bees and flowering species are correlated. The group Halictidae especially for Habralictus was observed in the presence interleaved environment and general shape. Trigona was recorded in the constant presence in the environment, not the case in Apis mellifera.
