Conteúdo: 	Nectar and pollen are highly sought-after resources by different species of animals, including several stingless bees. Thus, learning the location of and time when a resource is available should be advantageous. This study investigated whether the stingless bee, Melipona fasciculata, exhibits food-anticipatory activity to maximize the exploitation of a renewable resource, an artificial food source with a restricted time schedule, which simulates an inflorescence. Our results showed that food-anticipatory activity occurs in this bee species, and foragers made periodic inspection visits before and after the feeder was available. These capabilities may have evolved to maximize the exploitation of profitable, short-lived food sources, as well as to minimize competition with other colonies and other animals. These differences are discussed and compared with different recruitment strategies and resource exploitation strategies in bees.
