Abstract (EN): This study aims to evaluate the effects of transgenic corn pollen, which expresses the Cry1Ab protein entomopathogenic on biological aspects the wax moth (Galleria mellonella) and thus propose a discussion on the possibilities for this condition pyralid the field, discussing possible ecological effects. For this we performed a bioassay, where it was offered to the larvae conventional and commercial Bt pollen, The duration of the larval stage of G. mellonella was affected by the supply of Mays pollen, conventional or transgenic, provided the biggest records. Mortality was higher in individuals fed with transgenic pollen and bee wax, but did not differ from other foods, when they were fed with transgenic pollen and honeycomb of Apis mellifera. The width and the length of larvae originated from larvae fed with beeswax added to conventional or transgenic pollen were lower than other treatments. The Mays pollen, conventional or transgenic alone is a less suitable food for the development of G. mellonella, in relation to a diet consisting of pollen from various plants.
