Background and aims: Plebeia mansita is a species of bee endemic to the Yungas, whose colonies live in the hollows of living trees. To know the botanical resources that contribute to the diet of their hives, palynological studies of pollen reserves are used.
M&M: The subsamples were collected in November 2021 from hives raised in technical boxes located in the towns of Valle Grande and Ocloyas (Jujuy). The reserve pots were located and those that were closed were removed and stored in sterilized jars. A total of 138 subsamples were analyzed, they were processed using conventional palynological techniques. Frequency classes, frequency of occurrence, pollen richness, and diversity indices were determined.
Results and conclusions: A total of 70 pollen types belonging to 36 botanical families were identified, the most important being the Myrtaceae and Fabaceae families. Pollen diversity reflects the generalist foraging habit of the bee, particularly oriented to tree and shrub species of the Yungas. The pollen resources that stood out due to their frequency in the pollen reserves and dominance in the subsamples were Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Parapiptadenia excelsa, and Juglans australis. Zanthoxylum coco, Eupatorium, and to a lesser extent, Heteropterys glabra and Sebastiania were also recorded as important pollen types. The results obtained provide meliponiculturists with information about the origin and variability of the resources offered by the forest, contributing to the breeding and management of the hives. |

Introducción y objetivos: Plebeia mansita es una especie de abeja endémica de las Yungas, cuyas colonias se alojan en huecos de árboles vivos. Para conocer los recursos botánicos que contribuyen a la dieta de sus colmenas, se recurre a estudios palinológicos de las reservas de polen. M&M: Las submuestras fueron colectadas en noviembre de 2021 a partir de colmenas criadas en cajones tecnificados ubicadas en las localidades de Valle Grande y Ocloyas (Jujuy). Se localizaron los potes de reserva y se extrajeron aquellos que se encontraban cerrados, conservándose en frascos esterilizados. Se analizaron un total de 138 submuestras, las mismas fueron procesadas mediante técnicas palinológicas convencionales. Se determinaron las clases de frecuencia, frecuencia de ocurrencia, riqueza polínica e índices de diversidad. Resultados y conclusión: Se identificaron un total de 70 tipos polínicos pertenecientes a 36 familias botánicas, siendo las de mayor importancia las familias Myrtaceae y Fabaceae. La diversidad polínica refleja el hábito de forrajeo generalista de la abeja, particularmente orientado a especies arbóreas y arbustivas de las Yungas. Los recursos polínicos que se destacaron por su frecuencia en las reservas de polen y dominancia en las submuestras fueron Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Parapiptadenia excelsa y Juglans australis. También se registraron como tipos polínicos de importancia a Zanthoxylum coco, Eupatorium y en menor medida Heteropterys glabra y Sebastiania. Los resultados obtenidos brindan a los meliponicultores información sobre el origen y variabilidad de los recursos ofrecidos por el bosque, contribuyendo a la cría y manejo de las colmenas.

Os potes reservas foram localizados e os que estavam fechados foram retirados e armazenados em frascos esterilizados. Foram analisadas 138 amostras; elas foram processadas utilizando técnicas palinológicas convencionais. Foram determinadas classes de frequência, frequência de ocorrência, riqueza polínica e índices de diversidade.Resultados e conclusão: Foram identificados 70 tipos polínicos pertencentes a 36 famílias botânicas, sendo as mais importantes as famílias Myrtaceae e Fabaceae. A diversidade polínica reflecte o hábito generalista de forrageamento das abelhas, particularmente orientado para as espécies arbóreas e arbustivas das Yungas. Os recursos polínicos que se destacaram pela frequência nos pools polínicos e pela dominância nas amostras foram Blepharocalyx salicifolius, Parapiptadenia excelsa e Juglans australis. Zanthoxylum coco, Eupatorium e, em menor extensão, Heteropterys glabra e Sebastiania também foram registrados como importantes tipos polínicos. Os resultados obtidos fornecem aos meliponiculturistas informações sobre a origem e variabilidade dos recursos oferecidos pela floresta, contribuindo para a criação e manejo das colmeias.
