portuguesO comportamento de Apismelliferaem areas urbanas tem causado acidentes com seres humanos e animais domesticos. Acoes que visem minimizar o problema, como a captura, sao essenciais. Assim, o presente trabalho buscou compreender a dinâmica de nidificacao e a variacao anual das ocorrencias de enxames e colonias, as suas relacoes com a precipitacao pluviometrica e a floracao apicola.O trabalho foi realizadono Sertao Pernambucano, em Serra Talhada, principalmente, e em cidades vizinhas. As ocorrencias foram registradasno periodo de2014 a 2015. Colonias e enxames foram capturados e levados para oapiario da Unidade Academica de Serra Talhada, ou doados paraumacomunidade de assentados. Dados pluviometricosforam coletados, eo levantamento do pasto apicola emSerra Talhada, atraves de transectos aleatorios de 1.500m a partir do referido apiario. Foram registradas115 ocorrencias, sendo65% em areas urbanas e35% emareasrurais.Desse total, 76% foram de colonias nidificadas e 24% de enxamesprovisorios. Em relacao ao tamanho, 62%foram considerados grandes,22% de porte medio e 16% pequeno. O maior numero de ocorrenciasfoi verificadoentre os mesesde marcoe abril, coincidindo com o periodo de maior precipitacao acumulada e as floradas. Desta forma, as abelhas capturadas possibilitaram uma reducao de riscos a sociedade, contribuiram para uma renda extra dosassentados e aulas praticas universitarias.A dinâmica de nidificacao de A.mellifera, na area de estudo, mostrou estar relacionada ao periodo com maior volume de chuvas e tambem de maior disponibilidade de recursos florais. EnglishThe behavior of Apis melliferain urban areas has caused accidents with humans and domestic animals. Actions that aim to minimize the problem, such as capture, are essential. Thus, the present work sought to understand the nesting dynamics and the annual variation of the occurrences of swarms and colonies, their relationship with rainfall and bee flowering. The work was carried out in the Sertao Pernambucano, in Serra Talhada, mainly, and in neighboring cities. The occurrences were registered in the period from 2014 to 2015. Colonies and swarms were captured and taken to the apiary of the Serra Talhada Academic Unit, or donated to a settlement community. Rainfall data were collected, and the survey of beepasture in Serra Talhada, through random transects of 1,500mfrom the said apiary. 115 occurrences were recorded, 65% in urban areas and 35% in rural areas. Of this total, 76% were from nesting colonies and 24% from provisional swarms. Regarding size, 62%were considered large, 22% medium and 16% small. The highestnumber of occurrences was observed between the months of March and April, coinciding with the period of greatest accumulated precipitation and flowering. In this way, the captured bees enabled areduction of risks to society, contributed to an extra income for settlers and practical university classes. The nesting dynamics of A. mellifera, in the study area, proved to be related to the period with the highest rainfall volume and also the greatestavailability of floral resources. |
