RESUMO
Bees are becoming more and more valued for the extremely important role they play in ecological communities, especially for their pollinating action. The state of Roraima, Brazil has areas of native vegetation and variety of stingless bees, and this potential is still untapped. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition of materials collected from the nests of Frieseomelitta silvestrii (FRIESE, 1902), identified in São Luiz, in Roraima state, Brazil. The chemical composition of the collected material was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The dichloromethane extracts of propolis, cerumen threads and resin present in the stingless bee nest presented differentiated profiles with the occurrence of low polarity compounds.
