Resumen
Descripción
Most bees are active during the day. However, approximately 1% of the bee species are nocturnal and forage in search for flowers during the low light intensities of the night, between sunset and sunrise. They account for about 250 species and are distributed among the families: Andrenidae, Apidae, Colletidae and Halictidae. We evaluate the role of nocturnal bees in the pollination of "cambuci", Campomanesia phaea, Myrtaceae, and "guarana", Paullinia cupana, Sapindaceae, both economically highly important plants of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest and Amazon, respectively.
