Relação entre a vegetação arbóreo-arbustiva e a diversidade de abelhas no município de Morrinhos, GO

Abstract

Despite the great bee’s importance on the world production’s food and on the ecosystem services, few studies exist about the bee’s conservation in brasilian urban areas. Through agricultural expansion, environmental pollution and continuous city grown in quantity and size, the bee’s natural sources have degreed through time. The changes on the natural environment to urban ambient affects directly on these animals, possibly causing negative impacts on its behavior. This study aims to understand how the type and the vegetation distribution inflicts on biodiversity and visitation taxa of bees in the city of Morrinhos, Goiás. For this, the floral visitation’s frequency and the bees and plant’s diversity species in the city were measured. 30 locals in the city were visited through 150 to 300 meters transects. The collect period was between November and June. The collect media’s frequency was 7days, between 08:00 and 12:00 hour. The vegetal’s species were identified and the bee’s species were collected and putted in the entomological box, for posterior taxonomical identification. The results obtained shows that the Morrinhos vegetation has possibility on these insect’s maintaining through its floral resources. However, other studies are needed aiming to measure the many existents aspects on the conservation’s bee’s complexity.
