Abstract

The experiment was carried out in Mandirituba, state of Paraná, on November 1999. The objective was to evaluate the frequency which honeybee workers visit Senecio brasiliensis flowers to collect nectar and pollen. Nectar was the food resource that showed the highest frequency from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with statistically significant differences observed between the hours of the day. The correlation between the sugar concentration in the nectar with temperature is direct positive and moderate; with the air relative humidity it is moderate and inverse.
