摘要: Lepidotrigona flavibasis Cockerell, a eusocial bee species, performs a variety of ecological roles in tropical and subtropical ecosystems. This is the first study to evaluate the abiotic effects on the flight activity (exit, exit with garbage, entry, entry with resin, and entry with pollen) of L. flavibasis in the non-native habitat in Hainan province, China. The results showed that the colonies remained active throughout the year, peaking in January for the year and at 11:00 h for the day, respectively. L. flavibasis presented the greatest flight activities in the dry season. All flight activities of L. flavibasis were influenced by temperature and relative humidity. The ambient temperature or relative humidity had a significantly negative influence on flight activity of L. flavibasis. The maximum and minimum temperatures for L. flavibasis activity were recorded at 38 & DEG;C and 15 & DEG;C, respectively. Understanding the flight activities of L. flavibasis will be helpful for the better maintenance of colonies and improving meliponiculture. The results obtained here can provide information for the future development of techniques for L. flavibasis management and natural or artificial feeding.
