Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

In 11 cemeteries of Cundinamarca and Meta (Colombia) departments we found 203 nests of stingless bees pertaining to 15 species. The majority of the found nests (61%) belong to genus Nannotrigona Cokerel/, 1922. Nannotrigonamel/ariawas the specie with the greater nests number and higher population; Trigona(Tetragonisca)angustula was found in all cemeteries, but in a smaller percentage that N. mel/aria(29% ofthe total). In the Tena (Cundinamarca) cemetery was found the nest highest density (118 nest/hal, with a tombs occupation percentage of 13.9%. We discussed the importance of cemeteries as an alternative for wild bees nesting sites conservation in urban areas.
