Native Bee Conservation

This category focuses on the preservation and study of Brazil’s native stingless bees, essential pollinators found throughout Pontal do Sul and Ilha do Mel. Here you will find content related to ecological research, habitat protection and community-based actions promoted by the Ilha do Mel Nativo project – Guardians of Native Bees and Coastal Biodiversity. The goal is to strengthen awareness, encourage responsible practices and support long-term conservation of species such as Melipona, Jataí and other coastal pollinators.

Ilha do Mel Nativo is an environmental initiative based in Pontal do Sul and along the coastal region of Paraná, Brazil. Our mission is to promote awareness, conservation and appreciation of the biodiversity of this Atlantic Forest ecosystem with a special focus on pollination processes and Brazil’s native stingless bees.
