Ethological studies on bumble bees under subtropical conditions in India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Native pollinators play an important role in the sustenance of plant diversity which further supports the existing fauna. Among the different pollinators in the temperate regions of the globe, bumble bees have a very important place. Bumble bees are wild pollinators and belong to order Hymenoptera, family Apidae and genus Bombus. Ethological studies were made to know the behaviour of these important pollinators so that the observations could be put in practical application to mould this pollinator as a commercial pollinator in Asia. Different behavioural aspects related to nesting, foraging, pollination, flora, mating and hibernation were studied under natural conditions in sub-temperate and sub-tropical regions in India.
