Abstract:

Bees are an important group of insects from both environmental and economic perspectives. In the face of global changes, it is especially important to study the distribution and diversity of bee pollinators. In this paper, we present the results of a three-year study of bee species diversity at several locations in south-eastern Poland. Of the 122 species identifed during that survey, some are rare or threatened at the national level, including Amegilla quadrifasciata, Megachile genalis, and Coelioxys alatus, or at the European level (e.g. Halictus leucaheneus, Bombus muscorum).
