Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Colony maintenance activities of Melipona quadrifasciata were unevenly distributed over the day inside and outside the greenhouse.
- Intervention effect Confinement in the greenhouse decreased the daily foraging period of Melipona quadrifasciata.
- Observation Melipona quadrifasciata workers started collecting pollen from the flowers after about six months in the greenhouse.
- Mechanism Difficulty of workers in orienting to and identifying flowers was attributed to greenhouse cover effects on light.
