The most frequently visited botanical families included Myrtaceae, Arecaceae, Asteraceae, Moraceae, and Fabaceae highlighting their importance as key floral resources. These findings highlight the importance of considering seasonal dynamics and species-specific traits in meliponiculture, including the need for targeted supplemental feeding and resource planning. Promoting key botanical resources such as Myrtaceae and Arecaceae can support sustainable colony development in high-density environments.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s13744-026-01438-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,15]],"date-time":"2026-10-15T23:21:47Z","timestamp":1792106507000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Trophic Niche Overlap in Stingless Bees (Melipona Illiger, 1806) Across Seasons in Southern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9201-536X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda Gar\u00e7oa","family":"Raulik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luiz Gabriel","family":"Ludwig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adriano","family":"Silv\u00e9rio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o M.
