          Abstract

          La presente investigación se realizó con el propósito de determinar la presencia de diferentes especies de hormigas en colmenas de Apis mellifera L., y describir la actividad observada mediante el relevamiento de apiarios ubicados en diversas localidades de Valles templados de la provincia de Jujuy. Se colectaron manualmente entre 10-20 individuos aproximadamente de diferentes especies de hormigas en estado adulto e inmaduro presentes en techos y entretapas de colmenas de abejas melíferas, como también de hormigueros ubicados en cercanías. Se conservaron en alcohol al 70%. La colecta se realizó en época seca y época húmeda. La identificación taxonómica se realizó mediante claves establecidas. Las hormigas identificadas fueron Camponotus substitutus, Camponotus mus, Acromyrmex hispidus, Linepithema humile, Crematogaster spp. (Subgénero Orthocrema) y Solenopsis spp. Cinco de estas especies no mostraron ser perjudiciales para las abejas, mientras que en colmenas moribundas por falta de alimento o reinas viejas se observó la intrusión de Solenopsis sp. Se puede concluir que las especies de hormigas identificadas no generaron daños económicos a los apicultores de estas colmenas. El presente trabajo podría ser el punto de partida para estudios relativos al manejo y control de hormigas presentes en colmenas de Apis mellifera L. Se debe continuar con el registro y estudio de estos himenópteros en otras áreas apícolas.

          Translated abstract

          The present investigation was carried out with the purpose of determining the presence of different species of ants in hives of Apis mellifera L., and to describe the activity observed by means of the survey of apiaries located in different localities of temperate valleys of the province of Jujuy. Manually collected between 10-20 individuals of different species of ants in adult and immature state present in ceilings and interstates of honey bee hives, as well as anthills located in the vicinity. They were stored in 70% alcohol. The collection was carried out during the dry season and the wet season. The taxonomic identification was carried out using appropriate codes. The identified ants were Camponotus substitutus, Camponotus mus, Acromyrmex hispidus, Linepithema humile, Crematogaster spp. (Subgenus Orthocrema) and Solenopsis spp. Five of these species did not appear to be harmful to bees, whereas in Sole colonies due to lack of food or old queens the intrusion of Solenopsis sp. It can be concluded that the ant species identified did not generate economic damage to the beekeepers of these hives. This work could be the starting point for studies related to the management and control of ants present in hives of Apis mellifera L. It should continue with the registration and study of these hymenoptera in other apicultural areas.
