The study is a quantitative analysis of the foraging behavior of Melipona Ilota related to different types of combs. The design is experimental with an explanatory, transversal and prospective level of analysis. The primary information was obtained from the direct observation of worker bees that carry out foraging activity raised in two types of honeycombs, in trunk (PM-T) and technical box (PM-C), in the Zungaro Cocha farm of the Faculty of Agronomy-UNAP, for one (01) month, with three observations a week from 7:00 to 8:00 am, 9:00 to 10:00 and 11:00 to 12:00 am, registering for each sampling time the resources transported by the bees. For the statistical analysis, Mixed Model Analysis was used, obtaining the following results: Statistically, the observed data on the resources collected by bees present a high variability in the collection of pollen and resin, therefore it is considered that the stocks of other factors could be influencing the collection, such as climatic conditions or the availability of resources. Whereas, the lower variability in nectar and sand collection suggests greater data consistency in the collection of these materials. In relation to the influence of time, 7AM-8AM seems to be the most active for collecting pollen, while later times have less collecting activity for this resource. But it is recognized that the high variability in the early hours is considered that there could be additional factors that affect collection in the early hours of the day. If we compare the honeycomb types, the PM-T honeycomb shows greater collection of pollen and resin compared to the PM-C honeycomb, which could be due to structural, design-related differences between the honeycomb types. Despite the greater descriptive collection in the PM-T comb, this effect was not statistically significant, so the hypothesis that the types of brood combs do not have a significant effect on the foraging behavior of the Melipona bee is accepted.
