Canola is a crop with significant potential to contribute to the expansion of Brazilian agribusiness. It is well-suited as a second crop in Brazil's grain production systems and is recommended in crop rotation programs, agricultural diversification, and soil coverage in vegetable cultivation. In Brazil, the crop has assumed a prominent role in both human consumption and energy purposes. This study was conducted at the experimental unit of Horta Velha, at the Federal University of Viçosa, which documented the attack of the Stingless bee (Trigona spinipes) on different canola cultivars (Hyola 401, Hyola 432, Hyola 433, and Hyola 61). The bee caused injuries to leaves, flowers, and seedpods during the tropicalization studies of these cultivars.
