In this paper we show the results of investigating the presence of organochlorine pesticides in honey and pollen samples from managed colonies of the honey bee, Apis mellifera L. and of the stingless bee Scaptotrigona Mexicana Guérin. We found that 88.44% and 93.33% of honey samples, and 22.22% and 100% of pollen samples of S. mexicana and A. mellifera, respectively, resulted positive to at least one organochlorine. The most abundant pesticides were DDE, DDT, Endrin and heptaclor. Despite the low foraging range of S. mexicana the number of pesticides detected in the honey samples was similar to that of A. mellifera. Paradoxically we a found a small number of organochlorines in pollen samples of S. mexicana, perhaps indicating a rapid turnover of this material as compared to A. mellifera.

Com o emprêgo de diversos métodos, verificou-se que o alimento da larva Melipona quadrifasciata contêm quantidades de acetilcolina equivalentes entre 0,5 e 2,0 mg de cloreto de acetilcolina por grama de alimento. quantidades semelhantes foram registradas no alimento da larva de abelha Apis mellifera.
