Abstract

Frugivory is not frequent among bees. Although stingless bees visit aged fruits for pulp, the use of fresh fruits is recorded only for Trigona hypogea Silvestri, a species that does not visit fl owers. Here we report the occurrence of frugivory in Trigona amazonensis (Ducke), a fl owervisiting stingless bee.
