Abstract EN
The bumble bees were studied in Ukraine between 2002 and 2009 under field conditions, by examining historical and recent collections and by the literature data.
Forty one species are reported from the whole territory, 32 of them being recorded from the forest-steppe zone.
Ten species are rare in all their habitats: B.
confusus, B.
distinguendus, B.
fragrans, B.
gerstaeckeri, B.
ruderatus, B.
armeniacus, B.
mesomelas, B.
laesus, B.
veteranus, and B.
cullumanus.
The present persistence of the steppe species B.
armeniacus, B.
laesus, and B.
cullumanus is restricted to the eastern part of the country, and B.
fragrans—to the Crimean Peninsula.
The information on distribution, abundance, habitat, and floral preferences of bumble bees is also provided.
