A cultura da bananeira (musa sp.) Como fonte alternativa de nÃctar para a apicultura em perÃodos de escassez de alimento. / The culture of banana (Musa sp.) As an alternative source of nectar for the bee in times of shortage of food.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O experimento foi conduzido na fazenda Frutacor no distrito de Lagoinha, municÃpio de Quixerà - CE, no perÃodo de setembro de 2004 a janeiro de 2005. Objetivou-se avaliar o cultivo irrigado de banana (Musa paradisiaca.), como fonte substituta de alimento para as colÃnias de abelhas (Apis mellifera) em perÃodo de escassez de florada na caatinga. Foram utilizados trÃs apiÃrios com 10, 20 e 30 colÃnias instalados dentro da cultura de banana e acompanhadas a cada 14 dias durante um perÃodo de 140 dias. Avaliaram-se o desenvolvimento da Ãrea de cria no ninho, a Ãrea de reserva de alimento no ninho e a Ãrea de mel armazenado na melgueira. Os dados coletados foram analisados por AnÃlise de VariÃncia e as mÃdias foram comparadas a posteriori pelo teste de Tukey (5%) comparando os apiÃrios entre si a cada data de coleta. Os resultados mostraram que nÃo houve diferenÃas significativas (P>0,05) na Ãrea de cria entre os apiÃrios, e que esta diminuiu pela metade ao longo dos cinco meses de experimento, provavelmente devido à carÃncia de pÃlen no bananal. As Ãreas ocupadas com alimento no ninho e com mel armazenado na melgueira tambÃm nÃo apresentaram diferenÃas significativas (P>0,05) entre os apiÃrios a cada data de coleta. Conclui-se que Ãreas cultivadas com bananeiras podem ser utilizadas para manter colÃnias de Apis mellifera no perÃodo de escassez de alimento na caatinga, que os apiÃrios podem comportar atà 30 colÃnias e que hà potencial para produÃÃo de mel nessas Ãreas desde que as colÃnias sejam mantidas sob condiÃÃes nutricionais adequadas. / The study was carried out in farm Frutacor, district of Lagoinha, in the county of QuixerÃ, state of CearÃ, Brazil, from September 2004 to January 2005. The aim of this research was to evaluate irrigated banana (Musa paradisiaca.) plantation as a substitute source of food to honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies during the dearth period in caatinga (typical scrub vegetation of NE Brazil). Three apiaries of 10, 20 and 30 hives were installed within a banana plantation and colonies were inspected every 14 days over a period of 140 days. Data on brood area, honey and pollen stores in the nest and honey stores in supers were collected and analyzed by ANOVA. Means obtained to each apiary at each date were compared a posteriori by Tukey tests (5%). Results showed no significant differences (P>0.05) among apiaries to brood area, and that brood area was reduced to half of its initial size by the end of the experiment, probably due to pollen shortage within the banana plantation. There was also no significant differences (P>0.05) among honey store areas in nest and supers among apiaries. It was concluded that banana plantations can be used to keep Apis mellifera colonies during caatingaâs dearth period, that apiaries can bear up to 30 hives and that there is potential to honey production in these areas, provided that colonies be kept under adequate nutritional conditions.
