R.  aUnfavorable urban climatic conditions affects colony performance of an amazonian stingless bee (ApidaebMeliponini).h[electronic resource]  c2025  aUrban areas are part of the anthropogenic Amazon mosaic, and although Amazonian stingless bees are known to be threatened by landscape alteration and climate change, we do not know how they deal with the pressures of urban-altered conditions. Here, we evaluated how a meliponine species from the Amazon region, Melipona flavolineata, developed in urbanized, semiurbanized, and agroforestry areas by monitoring nectar foraging, pollen foraging, and egg-laying and relating these parameters to local temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure and light intensity. We used linear mixed effects models to assess how climatic parameters are associated with colony performance, and for each response variable, we built a global model with all climatic parameters as fixed effect variables. Colonies in urbanized areas foraged less and produced fewer eggs than did colonies in other areas. After the sixth week of observations, all these colonies died. Compared with the semiurban and agroforestry sites, the urbanized area presented higher temperatures, lower relative air humidity, lower barometric pressures and a wide variation of luminosity values along weeks. Overall pollen and nectar foraging were both positively related with temperature and relative humidity, whereas egg laying was positively related only with relative humidity. Therefore, M. flavolineata responded differently to climatic windows associated with different degrees of urbanization. This species performs better in a less urbanized landscape, where milder local climatic conditions favor foraging activity and egg-laying. If native pollinators are meant to have adequate foraging opportunities in the context of future Amazonian cities, it is timely to improve our understanding about their urban ecology, which should be considered when aiming to redesign the cities’ green spaces.  aAbelha  aClima  aInseto Polinizador  aPolinização1 aVEIGA, J.
