The bee nest’s access tube relates to its defense, forage and physicochemical regulation through temperature and air circulation control. Therefore, it’s opening and closing causes a conflict (Trade-off) in the size of the nest’s opening and the colony’s safety. This paper describes the process of opening and closing of the access tube in different times of the year and provides important information about the foraging behavior of Nannotrigona testaceicornis (Lepeletier). During this work, conducted in the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora campus (Minas Gerais, Brasil), 41 observations were performed, of which 27 took place during the hot and humid season (from October to March) and 14 during the cold and dry season (from April to Sept...
