Species diversity of stingless bees was
analyzed using Shannon-Weiner diversity indices,
Hv = -Y
S
i=1 pi
log pi
v method (Shannon and Weiner,
1949; Price, 1984), where s = the number of
species, pi = the proportion of the total number of
individuals consisting of the ith species and Hv =
an estimate of the diversity of the total population
of individuals.
