- Abstract
Megachile amparo(González, Revista Colombiana De Entomología 32(1):93–96, 2006) is the only high Andean leaf-cutter bee reported in Colombia and is possibly endemic to the Colombian Andes. Although it is frequently observed, even in urban areas, its biology and ecology remain unknown. The present study aimed to describe detailed aspects of its bionomy. Trap-nests were installed on the Campus of the Nueva Granada University (Cajicá, Colombia) from June/2018 to March/2020. The trap-nests were wooden blocks (25 × 15 × 14 cm) with 30 cavities of Ø = 1 cm and different lengths (50 mm, 75 mm, and 100 mm) lined with waxed paper straws. During the observations, an increasing number of trap-nests were installed, increasing from 250 to 720 cavities. The trap-nests were monitored three times a week, recording both the date the start and end building by female. Most of the nest were maintained in the field to estimate the sex ratio, cell survival, and total development time under natural conditions. Thirty-two nests were removed at different times of the observation period to establish number of cells per nest, and cells built per female per day. We incubated 20 cells from different nests at 18 °C, 22 °C, 26 °C, and 32 °C to estimate the base temperature, thermal constant k(developmental time in degree days), and cell survival. Young cells of different positions were dissected and weighed to characterize food provision and brood cells. Computerized tomography-CT scans were performed in 30 brood cells to determine if diapause occurred during prepupal stage. Females nested 7- and 10-cm-long cavities and the number of cells per nest varied with cavity length. The brood cells had a length of 1.23 ± 0.12 cm and a diameter of 0.92 ± 0.05 cm. The female spends 1.17 ± 0.29 days to build a brood cell. Food provision varied according to the position of the brood cell in the nest. The adults of M. amparopresent a marked seasonality being more active during dry months. Base temperature and thermal constant kwere different for males and females. The sex ratio is female biased (1.9:1), and cell survival in the field was 89% with no cleptoparasites or predators recorded.

En Colombia la fresa se ha convertido en un cultivo de interés económico debido a la creciente demanda en el mercado extranjero en la última década. La mayoría de plantaciones son a campo abierto y no usan esquemas de polinización para mejorar la calidad de producción. La polinización con abejorros mejora la calidad de los frutos, aunque estos se producen mediante polinización espontánea. La especie nativa Bombus atratus ha sido reconocida como un polinizador eficiente de cultivos hortofrutícolas colombianos bajo invernadero. El presente estudio evaluó la eficiencia de polinización de dos colonias huérfanas en la calidad de los frutos de las variedades camino real y ventana sembrados bajo invernadero en Cajicá-Colombia. Se embolsaron los botones para obtener los frutos producidos espontáneamente y ser comparados con los frutos provenientes de la visita de obreras de B. atratus. Se encontró que la visita de las obreras mejoró la calidad de los frutos en las variables, calibre (35 % y 31 %), longitud (28 % y 19 %), peso fresco (103 % y 90 %), peso seco (126 % y 145 %) y número de semillas (55 % y 81 %) para las variedades Camino Real y Ventana respectivamente. A partir de las observaciones realizadas, se determinó que el recurso floral utilizado por las obreras de B. atratus fue el néctar y se hacen recomendaciones sobre su uso en este cultivo. In Colombia the strawberry has become a crop of economic interest due to the growing demand in the foreign market in the last decade. Most plantations are open fields and do not use pollination strategies to improve the production quality. Pollination with bumblebees improves the quality of the fruits, although these are produced by spontaneous pollination. The native species Bombus atratus has been recognized as an efficient pollinator of Colombian horticultural crops under greenhouse. The present study evaluated the pollination efficiency of two orphan colonies in the quality of the fruits of the "Camino real" and "Ventana" cultivars planted under a greenhouse in Cajicá-Colombia. The buttons were excluded to obtain the fruits produced spontaneously and to be compared with the fruits coming from the visit of workers of B. atratus. It was found that the visit of the workers improved fruit quality in the features: caliber (35 % and 31 %), length (28 % and 19 %), fresh weight (103 % and 90 %), dry weight 126 % and 145 %) and number of seeds (55 % and 81 %) for the cultivar "Camino Real" and "Ventana" respectively. From the observations made, it was determined that the floral resource used by the workers of B. atratus was the nectar and recommendations are done about on its use in this crop.

The effect of insecticides on bees has gained great attention, however, there are few studies that explore this issue on Neotropical bees. Bombus atratus is a neotropical species broadly distributed in Colombia and is considered an important pollinator of both Andean ecosystems and agroecosystems. However, as for many wild bees species, the effect of insecticides on B. atratus is unknow. In this study we determined the acute median lethal dose (LD50) of commercial formulations of insecticides Imidacloprid, Spinosad and Thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate, widely used in Colombia to control several pests of important crops. The LD50 was carried out by oral and contact routes, following and modifying the EPPO and OECD guidelines to perform LD50 on A. mellifera. We evaluated five doses for each route and insecticide, in a total of 25 medium-size workers for each dose by duplicate. Mortality was registered at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the experiment; and data were analyzed with the Probit regression model. For Imidacloprid, contacts and oral LD50 were 0.048 µg/bee and 0.010 µg/bee, respectively. For Thiocyclam hydrogen oxalate, topical and oral LD50 were 0.244 µg/bee and 0.056 µg/bee, respectively. For Spinosad, the oral LD50 corresponded to 0.28 µg/bee; it was not possible to establish the LD50 for the contact route. The Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Index of Relative Toxicity indicated that all three active ingredients are highly toxic. We discussed the risk of the insecticides use on B. atratus, considering their chemical nature. Los efectos de los insecticidas sobre las abejas han cobrado gran atención a nivel mundial, sin embargo, son pocos los estudios sobre el efecto de estos agroquímicos en abejas Neotropicales. Bombus atratus es una especie neotropical, distribuida ampliamente en los Andes y es considerado un polinizador importante de ecosistemas y agroecosistemas altoandinos. Sin embargo, al igual que muchas especies silvestres, se desconoce el efecto de los insecticidas en B. atratus. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, el presente trabajo determinó la dosis letal media aguda (DL50) por exposición tópica y oral de las formulaciones comerciales de los insecticidas con los ingredientes activos Imidacloprid, Spinosad y Thiocyclam hidrogenoxalato, ampliamente utilizados para el control de plagas de cultivos importantes en Colombia. Las pruebas DL50 se realizaron a partir de modificaciones de los lineamientos establecidos por la EPPO y OEDE para estas pruebas en Apis mellifera. Se evaluaron 5 dosis para cada insecticida y exposición. Se evaluaron 25 obreras de tamaño medio en cada dosis por duplicado. La mortalidad se registró a las 24, 48 y 72 horas después del experimento. Los datos fueron analizados con el modelo de regresión Probit. Para el Imidacloprid la DL50 tópica y oral fue de 0.048 µg/abeja y 0.010 µg/abeja respectivamente. Para el Thiocyclam hidrogenoxalato la DL50 tópica y oral fue de 0.244 µg/abeja y de 0.056 µg/abeja respectivamente. Para el Spinosad, la DL50 por exposición oral correspondió a 0.28 µg/abeja. No fue posible establecer la DL50 por exposición tópica. A partir del cálculo del Cociente de Riesgo (HQ) e Índice de Toxicidad Relativa, los tres ingredientes activos son altamente tóxicos. Se analiza y discute el riesgo debido al uso de los productos evaluados a partir de la naturaleza química de los insecticidas.

El género Centris es un grupo de origen neotropical, considerado un polinizador importante de varios ecosistemas. A pesar de su importancia, en Colombia es poca la información relacionada sobre su diversidad, particularmente en la zona sur del país. Considerando lo anterior, este trabajo tuvo como objeto conocer la diversidad y variación temporal de abejas del género Centris (Fabricius 1804) en el Desierto de la Tatacoa ubicado en el departamento del Huila. Se realizaron muestreos mensuales, entre diciembre de 2014 y enero 2016, en un área de aproximadamente 8 km2. Las abejas se colectaron directamente con red entomológica y adicionalmente se ubicaron nidos trampa fabricados con diferentes materiales. Se identificaron taxonómicamente los ejemplares y se realizó la descripción del esterno 8 y de la genitalia de los machos. Se calculó la diversidad de abejas del género Centris durante el estudio y se evaluó el efecto de las variables climáticas en la riqueza y abundancia temporal. Se identificaron cinco especies distribuidas en 136 especímenes teniendo a Centris varia y Centris trigonoides como las especie más dominantes. Las especies restantes son nuevos reportes para el departamento. Según el estimativo de diversidad Shannon, El Desierto de la Tatacoa tiene una diversidad baja (1,64). El carácter esterno 8 y la genitalia de los machos mostraron diferencias en dos de las cinco especies, se concluye de esto que el carácter genitalia pueden llegar a ser importante para la identificación de individuos. Se encontró una relación inversamente proporcional entre la temperatura y cantidad de individuos en donde a mayor temperatura menor cantidad de especies. Los nidos trampa pueden ser un método de captura eficiente, a pesar de solo obtener el 4 % de eclosión se observó una alta colonización de estos. The genus Centris is a group of neotropical origin and considered an important pollinator of several ecosystems. Despite its importance, Colombia has little information on its diversity, particularly in the south of the country. Considering the above, this work had as objective to know the diversity of bees of the genus Centris (Fabricius 1804) in the Desert of the Tatacoa located in the department of Huila. Monthly sampling was carried out between December 2014 and January 2016 in an area of approximately 8 km2. The bees were collected directly with an entomological net and trap nests made of different materials were placed. Once collected, the specimens were identified to the taxonomic level possible and the sternum 8 and genitalia of the males were described. The diversity of bees of the genus Centris was calculated during the study and the effect of climatic variables on temporal richness and abundance was evaluated. Five species distributed in 136 specimens were identified with Centris varia and Centris trigonoides as the most dominant species. The remaining species are new reports for the department. According to the Shannon diversity estimate, the Tatacoa Desert has a low diversity (1.64). The sternum character 8 and the genitalia of males showed differences in two of the five genitalia species may become important for the identification of individuals. An inversely proportional relationship was found between the temperature and quantity of individuals where at a higher temperature a smaller number of species. Trap nests may be an efficient capture method, despite only obtaining 4% hatching, a high colonization of these was observed. Pregrado

El pimentón (Capsicum annum), es un producto promisorio en Colombia, debido a su alto valor nutricional. A nivel mundial la producción de pimentón es bien importante y el uso de abejorros polinizadores en estos se convierte en la estrategia más utilizada para incrementar el rendimiento del cultivo. En Colombia las colonias de Bombus atratus han sido utilizadas para polinizar cultivos comerciales de tomate y han incrementado hasta en un 30% la producción como en el cultivo del tomate (Solanum lycopersicum). El presente trabajo estudió el comportamiento forrajero de B. atratus sobre el cultivo de pimentón (Capsicum anuun) var. Robledo sembrado bajo invernadero en el municipio de Sáchica-Boyacá, donde se obtuvo, la caracterización de la flor del pimentón en 4 estados de desarrollo con diferencias morfométricas que permitieron evidenciar estrecha relación de la visita de Bombus atratus y el estadio 2 de flor abierta, dando un giro de 360° para la obtención del recurso del néctar. Adicionalmente se encontró diferencias significativas entre los frutos visitados y no visitados en las tres variables, peso seco, numero de semillas y largo del fruto, concluyendo que B. atratus tiene el potencial de ser un polinizador eficiente para el cultivo del pimentón. El comportamiento de B. atratus está sincronizado con el proceso de floración que favorece la polinización cruzada del pimentón y por consiguiente el aumento de la calidad de los frutos. Sweet pepper (Capsicum annum) is a promising product in Colombia due to its high nutritional value. Worldwide production of paprika is very important and the use of pollinating bumblebees has become the most used strategy to increase crop yield. In Colombia colonies of Bombus atratus have been used to pollinating commercial tomato crops, thus increasing up to 30% as with the production of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). This paper studied the foraging behavior of B. atratus on the cultivation of paprika (Capsicum anuun) - var. Robledo - planted in greenhouses in the town of Sáchica, Boyacá, where the characterization of paprika flower was obtained in four development states with morphometric differences that allowed evidence for the close relationship between Bombus atratus and visited open flower - stage 2, then causing a 360° turn when obtaining nectar resource. Additionally, significant differences between visited and unvisited Bombus atratus were found in the three variables: dry weight, number of seeds and fruit length, concluding that B. atratus has the potential to be an efficient pollinator for paprika cultivation. The behavior of B. atratus is synchronized with the flowering process that favors cross-pollination of paprika, thus increasing fruit quality. Pregrado
