Abstract

This study aimed to contribute to the development of meliponiculture in the Santarém – PA region through knowledge exchange with local meliponiculturists, teaching proper management techniques, and raising awareness among the population about the importance of bees in the urban environment. The central goal was to promote awareness of the relevance of stingless bees and the need for their conservation. The adopted methodology included administering two questionnaires via Google Forms. The first questionnaire was directed at the general population of Santarém to assess their knowledge about the presence and importance of bees in the city. The second questionnaire focused on identifying and mapping local meliponiculturists, as well as understanding their needs and challenges. Additionally, visits were made to properties dedicated to the breeding of stingless bees, which were essential for experience exchange and evaluating the technical knowledge of the meliponiculturists. The project facilitated knowledge exchange with local meliponiculturists, the establishment of a meliponary in the Santa Maria community, and raised awareness among children about the importance of stingless bees. The project's visibility was increased through social media, generating public interest. In conclusion, the urban meliponiculture project in Santarém proved promising, promoting local community engagement, knowledge exchange, and awareness of the importance of native bees for environmental sustainability and food security.
