Abstract: An earlier edition of Methods of melissopalynology was published in Bee World 51(3): 125–138 (1970), and has been widely used. It is now republished with minor corrections and updating, and with two significant additions. The acetolysis method is included, which has not previously been commonly used in melissopalynology; also the literature list is enlarged so that it provides an introduction to the extensive literature on palynology, which is scattered over many journals.

Andreia Santos do Nascimento,Emerson Dechechi Chambó,Daiane de Jesus Oliveira,Brunelle Ramos Andrade,Josemário Santana Bonsucesso,Carlos Alfredo Lopes de Carvalho +5 more
TL;DR: The detection of the analyzed metals indicates that the honey of M. scutellaris is a useful tool to evaluate the presence of environmental contaminants; therefore, it can be considered a good indicator of environmental contamination for monitoring a particular region and preventing issues due to the release of metals into the environment.

Pollen analysis of honeys of Melipona (Michmelia) seminigra merrillae and Melipona (Melikerria) interrupta (Hymenoptera: Apidae) bred in Central Amazon, Brazil
TL;DR: There was a large significant niche overlap in the months studied, August, October and September, revealing that of the 70 pollen types found in the samples, 22 were shared by the two bee species in large proportions, 28 were exploited exclusively by Melipona seminigra merrillae and 20 were collected only byMelipona interrupta.
