El comportamiento de forrajeo de las abejas africanizadas (Apis mellifera) refleja la influencia de factores ambientales y estacionales, siendo el flujo de entrada y salida de las colmenas un importante indicador de la actividad externa de las obreras. Comprender estas variaciones a lo largo del día contribuye a mejorar el manejo y la productividad de las colonias. De este modo, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar el flujo de entrada y salida de abejas africanizadas en colmenas estándar Langstroth. Se realizaron observaciones semanales, durante un mes, en 32 colonias, en los periodos de 10:00 a 11:00 h y de 15:00 a 16:00 h, totalizando 512 registros (256 entradas y 256 salidas). El flujo de entrada varió de 15 a 1117 abejas (media = 299,65; mediana = 251; DE = 203,7), mientras que el de salida varió de 0 a 946 (media = 150,37; mediana = 90; DE = 169,21). Los datos revelaron que el flujo de entrada fue significativamente mayor que el de salida (p < 0,05), con mayor actividad en el periodo matutino, aunque sin diferencia estadística entre los horarios (p > 0,05). La correlación entre la temperatura (21 °C a 25 °C) y el flujo fue débil y no significativa (entrada: r = –0,05; salida: r = 0; p > 0,05). Estos resultados contribuyen a la comprensión del comportamiento forrajero de las abejas africanizadas y pueden sustentar estrategias de manejo.
