Stingless bees (ASF) (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, the largest taxonomic group of insects that includes bees, wasps and ants, where they are important pollinators of angiosperms in natural and agricultural ecosystems and have been severely affected, due to several reasons, causing lack of quality food, loss of habitat, among others. In Brazil, a predominantly tropical country, ASF play a central role in the pollination of native flora, being responsible for the pollination of 40 to 90% of trees in Brazilian forests, in addition to being crucial for food production; and the reduction or elimination of these bees can completely change the floral structure of these forests, causing an imbalance in the ecosystems. Many of these bee species have not yet been identified or cataloged, being unknown by the scientific community, and their knowledge is necessary to define strategies for the rational use and conservation of biological resources of fauna and flora and food production. And considering the scarcity of information about the ASF in the south of the Amazon and also the insufficiency of data on the efficiency of the rescue of these bees in hydroelectric projects, this work had as objective: I) To carry out the survey of the diversity of species of ASF that occur in the northern Mato Grosso region in the southern Brazilian Amazon; II) Identify the success rates of meliponids rescue during the vegetation suppression phase in the hydroelectric projects UHE Teles Pires and UHE Colíder and III) provide information that can contribute to the formulation of public policies regarding the rescue of ASF in new hydroelectric projects; it was necessary to analyze the tables and reports that identified the gaps and flaws in this process that may have influenced the success of the rescue in both plants. UHE Colíder despite having the highest rescue rate 2683, also had the highest rates of problems related to loss and death of colonies with 465 nests destroyed at the time of rescue, deficiencies in identifying 462 nests and also lack of transparency in the final report, and the UHE teles pires had 165 colonies rescued, with a lower rate of rescue in an area similar in extension (UHE Colíder 143.5 km2 and 152 km2 Teles Pires), and only 30 unidentified. With this, the identification of bee species generated faunal inventories where the information can subsidize the planning of future projects, hydroelectric or not, that make alternative use of the soil, which is extremely important for the knowledge of biodiversity, in addition to enabling the creation of new methodologies rescue and rescue of meliponids.
