Stingless bees (ASF) (Hymenoptera: Meliponini) are insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, the largest taxonomic group of insects comprising bees, wasps and ants. They are important pollinators of angiosperms in natural and agricultural ecosystems and are crucial for food production. The populations of these bees have been severely affected for various reasons, including the construction of hydroelectric power plants. The construction of hydroelectric projects requires changes to the landscape and causes significant environmental damage, as it causes flooding in large areas of forest, fragmenting and reducing habitat, preventing gene flow, interrupting the natural course of rivers, destroying local fauna and flora and interfering with intense human occupation; among other impacts. Many of these bee species have not yet been identified or cataloged and are unknown to the scientific community. Therefore, the objectives of this work were: to survey the diversity of ASF species that occur in the northern region of Mato Grosso in the south of the Brazilian Amazon; to identify the success rates of meliponid rescue during the plant suppression phase at the UHE Teles Pires and UHE Colíder hydroelectric projects; among others. With regard to the results, the number of nests rescued varied greatly: the area of vegetation suppressed at HPP Teles Pires was 152 km2 and 164 nests were found, and at HPP Colíder it was 143.5 km2, in which 2683 nests were rescued. However, the number of species was close in the two areas, suggesting differences in the collection efficiency of the rescue teams, as the nest abundance values are discrepant when comparing the two areas. As a result, it is clear that there are gaps in the planning, rescue and scientific rescue of meliponids in the hydroelectric projects in question, where the opening up of new areas has a direct impact on the conservation and preservation of various groups of fauna, and it is the responsibility of environmental agencies such as IBAMA to issue licenses and supervise the works. In addition, the identification of bee species generated faunal inventories where the information can support the planning of future projects that make alternative use of the land, which is extremely important for knowledge of biodiversity, as well as enabling the development of new methodologies for the rescue and salvage of meliponids.
