The months with the largest numbers of flowering species were July, August, December and January. The study area contained many ruderal, ornamental, and edible fruit species, many of them typical of the Amazon region. According to our field observations, local meliponiculturists and palynological literature, species such as Tachigalia sp., Tapirira guianensis Aubl. and Vismia guianensis (s (Aubl.) Pers. are good examples of plants frequently visited by native bees in the Brazilian Amazon.}, number={3}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ University}
