Abstract

Currently, several studies have reported the decline of numerous pollinators, especially bees, responsible for pollinating approximately 85% of floral species in the environment. In this way, the Meliponário project of the State University of Montes Claros (Unimontes) was created with the function of subsidizing the optional discipline of the Zootechnics course - "Creation of Meliponíneos", complementing the practices of the Beekeeping discipline and conserving and preserving bees natives, encouraging producers and high school and elementary school students as part of Environmental Education work. The project was developed at the University in 2015, taking shape over the years. Today, it has 15 boxes with 15 species of Jatais, three Irais and two Tubunas, and a hotel for solitary bees and several hollow cavities (trunks and pierced bamboos) for nesting solitary species. Visitors and students, when visiting the site, are able to identify and compare common species in the region, in addition to having information about the benefits they play in the ecosystem and about their nesting habits. The exhibition focused on aspects of nesting, therapeutic products, nutrition, honey extraction and bee management.
