Resumo: | Indigenous bees are important pollinators of native plants. In the Caatinga there are about 193 species of bees belonging to 79 genera, of which 18 are meliponis. The objective of this work was to verify if there is influence of cardinal and collateral points in the nesting of bees Melipona subnitida Ducke and Frieseomelitta sp. in plant hosts from Caatinga. The work was developed in Santana do Seridó, state of Rio Grande do Norte, at Fazenda Morada da Jandaíra (6° 44´ 16´´S and 36° 43´ 13´´W). The width and height measurements of the nests were made with the aid of a measuring tape. A digital compass application for smartphone (iPhone® Model A 1533) was used to read the positioning of the nesting holes in relation to cardinal and collateral points. Wind speed, humidity and temperature were measured by an Oregon Scientific® mini meteorological station, WMR928NX. Absolute frequency analyzes were performed using the R v software. 2.15 (R Development Core Team, 2005). A total of 136 bee nests were analyzed. It was observed that the bees M. subnitida Ducke and Frieseomelitta sp. nest more frequently in Commiphora leptophloeos and Poincianella pyramidalis. As for the magnetic nesting orientation, these bees have distinct habits: the M. subnitida Ducke bee demonstrates greater nesting preference in the Northwest (NW) direction, while the Frieseomelitta sp. bee has a broad nesting preference in any magnetic orientation, except between 270 and 315º angles. |

En la Caatinga hay alrededor de 193 especies de abejas pertenecientes a 79 géneros, de los cuales 18 son meliponis. El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar si existe influencia de puntos cardinales y colaterales en la anidación de abejas Melipona subnitida Ducke y Frieseomelitta sp. en plantas hospedantes de Caatinga. La obra se desarrolló en Santana do Seridó, estado de Rio Grande do Norte, en la Fazenda Morada da Jandaíra (6 ° 44´ 16´´S y 36 ° 43´ 13´´W). Las medidas de ancho y alto de los nidos se realizaron con la ayuda de una cinta métrica. Se utilizó una aplicación de brújula digital para teléfono inteligente (iPhone® Modelo A 1533) para leer el posicionamiento de los orificios de anidación en relación con los puntos cardinales y colaterales. La velocidad del viento, la humedad y la temperatura se midieron con una mini estación meteorológica de Oregon Scientific®, WMR928NX. Los análisis de frecuencia absoluta se realizaron utilizando el software R v. 2.15 (Equipo central de desarrollo de R, 2011). Se analizaron un total de 136 nidos de abejas. Se observó que las abejas M. subnitida Ducke y Frieseomelitta sp. anidan con mayor frecuencia en Commiphora leptophloeos y Poincianella pyramidalis. En cuanto a la orientación de anidación magnética, estas abejas tienen hábitos distintos: la abeja M. subnitida Ducke demuestra una mayor preferencia de anidación en la dirección Noroeste (NW), mientras que la abeja Frieseomelitta sp. tiene una amplia preferencia de anidación en cualquier orientación magnética, excepto entre 270 y Ángulos de 315º.Abelhas indígenas são importantes polinizadores de plantas nativas.
