Pesticides effects on pollinators and representativeness of native species in ecological risk assessment and studies are an increasing concern. Stingless bees are especially important in Brazil, a major agricultural producer. Given the lack of colony-level data, a feeding study methodology for Melipona quadrifasciata was proposed and tested with the toxic standard dimethoate. Free foraging colonies at five sites were offered sugar syrup containing 0 (C), 75 (T1), 100 (T2) and 200 (T3) μg dimethoate/Kg and assessed weekly up to five weeks after exposure. Dimethoate concentration was analytically verified in the artificial syrup and honey from colonies. Pollen from pots was identified throughout the experiment. Actual concentrations in th...
