Bees and Solanum paniculatum L. (Solanaceae)
the influence of sunlight on the activity of visitation
Abstract
Were collected 181 bees family Apidae, classified in six genera and eight species. Trigona pallens (Fabricius, 1798) was the most abundant species with 97 individuals. The activity of the bees was not significantly influenced by sunlight. In general the thermoregulatory activity of Apidae is little influenced by variations in temperature and consequently the luminosity.
