Abstract:

Species diversity of bees and its ecological background were investigated in agricultural environment near Wroclaw during spring/summer of 1999 and 2000. 1194 bees of seven families, 21 genera, and 72 species were collected. The most abundant were Andrenidae (30 species and 34,6% of all collected Apoidea), Halictidae (26 species and 33,9% of all Apoidea), and Apidae (5 species and 29,6% of all Apoidea). The most abundant species were Apis melliferaL. (150 individuals; 12,6% of all collected bees), Andrena dorsata (KIRBY) (108; 9%), Evylaeus calceatus (SCOPOLI) (90; 7,5%), Seladonia tumulorum (L.) (75; 6,3%), and A. flavipes (PANZER) (73; 6,1%). Almost all Apoidea were collected within the winter oilseed rape field (40%), in winter wheat (22%), and in the thickets (12%). Within the thickets, mostly Andrenidae and Halictidae were caught, while in oilseed rape and in winter andspring wheat the most numerous were Apidae and Halictidae. The most diversified fauna of Apoidea was found in winter oilseed rape – 42 species, and winter wheat –39 species. Such high diversity and profusion of wild Apoideain the studied area may be attributed to the mosaic structure of the landscape: the proximity of woods, presence of midfield thickets and stripes of flowering herbs that provide food, refuge and nesting space for these bees.
