Abstract
Angiopolybia pallens (Lepeletier, 1836) exhibited an intense activity at the beginning (6:00-7:00 a.m.) and end of the day (5:30-6:00 p.m.) (bimodal daily activity) and a low efficiency index in resources collection. The species also exhibited an equivalence relation in the items collected (nectar, prey and pulp) and a negative reaction to temperature and luminosity increasing, and reacted positively to an increase in the relative air humidity.
