The article offers information on Mauritia flexuosa, a solitary-stemmed palm which is known to attract resin-collecting bees and can be found in the forests of Roraima, Brazil. It notes that stingless bees and honey bees were seen collecting resin immature flowers, fruits, and the vegetative parts of female inflorescences of the palm species. Moreover, it is believed that bees utilize the resin of Mauritia flexuosa as nest-building material.
