Resumo
Bees are important pollinators, contributing to ecosystem functioning by transferring pollen
between flowers, facilitating plant reproduction, ensuring fruit and seed production, and
maintaining genetic diversity among plant species. However, little is still known about bee
phenology, posing a challenge for effective conservation strategies. This study aims to
understand the seasonal activity of bees in the Cerrado biome and its relationship with
seasonal temperature and precipitation variations. Samples were collected in two natural
parks in Goiás: Emas National Park (PNE) between 2016 and 2019 and Altamiro de Moura
Pacheco State Park (PEAMP) between 2022 and 2023, using Malaise traps to capture bees in
different vegetation types. The results showed that Meliponini bees prefer dense vegetation
areas, while Megachilini species favor open vegetation. Additionally, the peak of bee activity
occurred in September in both areas. These findings indicate that vegetation differences are
directly linked to floral resource availability and nesting conditions, underscoring the need for
conservation strategies that account for the ecological specificities of each habitat.
