Resumo: Previous investigations showed that diverse varieties of melon may have different attractiveness for bees. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the composition, frequency and behavior of flower visitors of some melon (Cucumis melo) cultivars (Amarelo, Pele de Sapo, Cantaloupe, Gália) in different conditions (conventional and organic farming, dry and rainy seasons, with and without mulching and introduction or not of honey bee hives) in the main production poles in the Brazilian Northeast (Petrolina-PE/Juazeiro-BA, Pacajus-CE and Mossoró-RN). Observations and collections of flower visitors occurred from 5p.m. to 6p.m, in non-consecutive days. We recorded 12 species of insects, mostly bees. The most frequent was Apis mellifera (99.68%), but other species appeared sporadically (less than 0.5%): Xylocopa grisescens, Trigona spinipes, Plebeia sp., Melipona mandacaia, Frieseomelitta doedereleini, Halicitidae. Apis mellifera was present in all studied cultivars and sites. Xylocopa grisescens appeared in two poles, but not in Pacajus-CE, Amarelo cultivar. In addition, Trigona spinipes, although present in the three poles, was not recorded on Pele de Sapo. The Amarelo cultivar, under organic farming, without the use of mulching, and presence of honey bee hives, in the Petrolina-PE/Juazeiro-BA pole, in the dry season, was the combination of factors showing the largest number of Apis mellifera as the main visitor of melon flowers.

Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a composição, frequência e comportamento de visitantes florais de algumas cultivares do meloeiro (Cucumis melo) (Amarelo, Pele de Sapo, Cantaloupe, Gália) em variadas situações (cultivo convencional e orgânico, época seca e chuvosa, com e sem mulching e introdução ou não de colmeias de abelhas melíferas) nos principais polos de produção do Nordeste brasileiro (Petrolina-PE/Juazeiro-BA, Pacajus-CE e Mossoró-RN). As observações e coletas dos visitantes ocorreram das 5h00 às 18h00, em dias não consecutivos. Foram registradas 12 espécies de insetos, a maioria abelhas.  Entre elas, a mais frequente foi Apis mellifera (99.68%), mas outras espécies apareceram esporadicamente (menos de 0,5%): Xylocopa grisescens, Trigona spinipes, Plebeia sp., Melipona mandacaia, Frieseomelitta doedereleini, Halicitidae. Apis mellifera esteve presente em todas as cultivares e locais estudados. Xylocopa grisescens apareceu em dois polos, mas não em Pacajus-CE, no tipo Amarelo.  E Trigona spinipes, embora estivesse presente nos três polos, não foi registrada no Pele de Sapo. O tipo Amarelo, com cultivo orgânico, sem o uso de mulching, e presença de colmeias de abelhas melíferas, no polo Petrolina-PE/Juazeiro-BA, na época seca, foi a combinação de fatores que apresentou maior número de Apis mellifera como principal polinizadora das flores do meloeiro.Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido2021-09-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/caatinga/article/view/956710.1590/1983-21252021v34n425rcREVISTA CAATINGA; Vol. 34 No. 4 (2021); 976-984Revista Caatinga; v. 34 n. 4 (2021); 976-9841983-21250100-316Xreponame:Revista Caatingainstname:Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA)instacron:UFERSAenghttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/caatinga/article/view/9567/10760Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Caatingainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Eva Monica Sarmento daRibeiro, Marcia de FátimaKiill, Lúcia Helena PiedadeCoelho, Márcia de SousaSilva, Mara Poline da2023-07-04T14:13:58Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufersa.edu.br:article/9567Revistahttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/index.php/caatinga/indexPUBhttps://periodicos.ufersa.edu.br/index.php/caatinga/oaipatricio@ufersa.edu.br|| caatinga@ufersa.edu.br1983-21250100-316Xopendoar:2024-04-29T09:46:51.031065Revista Caatinga - Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA)true
