Show abstract
Tetragonisca angustula is a very important stingless bees species. This study aimed to report the resin gathering behaviour of this species of a possible new resin source: Schizolobium parahyba. Evaluations of temperature, number of bees in gathering activity, time and season were used to characterize bees behaviour. Resin gathering activities were concentered between 10 and 14 hours, with a moderate linear positive correlation index with the temperature. No bee activity was observed when temperatures were below 16.69{degrees}C. Gathering suffered extreme reduction during winter and greater activity in summer. Bees exploration were concentered on the younger leafs and apical portion of S. parahyba. Older leafs were mainly ignored, and gradually the exploring activity was constantly migrating to most young parts, while apical exploration was consistent all the studied period.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
