                         ecosystems, such as natural grassland fields and forests. These 
                         ecosystems depend on pollinators, especially bees, to ensure 
                         crossbreeding and plant productivity. Faced with deforestation and 
                         the fragmentation of forest remnants, meliponiculture plays an 
                         important role in biodiversity conservation, ecological 
                         restoration, and generating income for family farmers. Little is 
                         known about the effect of landscape on the productivity of native 
                         ti{\'u}ba bees (Melipona fasciculata Smith, 1854) in the Baixada 
                         Maranhense Environmental Protection Area (APA) in the Brazilian 
                         Amazon. This study aimed to evaluate the landscape effect on M. 
                         fasciculata honey productivity in APA. We selected 34 stingless 
                         beekeepers, mapped and classified landscapes within a 2,000 m 
                         radius around the meliponaries, measured honey productivity, and 
                         identified the pollen types. We analyzed honey productivity as a 
                         function of landscapes and floral origin. Our results show that 
                         honeys from forest landscapes have greater richness and abundance 
                         of species, indicating more pollination ecosystem services in 
                         these landscapes, but have lower honey productivity. The highest 
                         productivity occurs in landscapes with a greater percentage of 
                         natural grassland fields and a composition dominated by shrubs. 
                         Melissopalynology and geographical information from landscape 
                         mapping provided ecological dimensioning of M. fasciculata honey 
                         productivity in the APA, which can guide conservation, management, 
                         and restoration actions in this region, and enhance the 
                         recognition of environmental services provided by stingless 
                         beekeepers.",
