In open cultivated areas, the increased agricultural production can be achieved by the presence of natural pollinators. In this study, to identify potential pollinators of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) the bee community and their visiting behavior on the flowers were evaluated. For this, three areas of commercial cultivation of tomatoes situated in Araguari (MG) and Estrela do Sul (MG) were sampled between March and November 2012. We collected 185 bees belonging to 13 species. Exomalopsis analis was the most abundant species followed by Apis mellifera and Paratrigona lineata. Ten species performed the buzz pollination, an important behavior for tomato pollination. Of these, we highlight E. analis and Melipona quinquefasciata for being th...
