Bee (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) Fauna of Shivapuri–Nagarjun National Park, Nepal

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The present study was carried out in Shivapuri-Nagarjun National Park to document the baseline data of bee fauna. The study was regulated at elevations of 1,500–2,732 m. The specimens were collected using the sweeping net and colored pan traps. The collection was done from March to October 2018. Total 42 species, 14 genera, 12 tribes, and five families of bees were recorded. Of these, 41 species are the first record from the park and 11 species, viz., Amegilla candida (Smith, 1879), Amegilla fallax (Smith, 1879), Amegilla insularis (Smith, 1857), Amegilla quadrifasciata (de Villers, 1789), Elaphropoda impatiens (Lieftinck, 1944), Ceratina perforatrix Smith, 1879, Colletes similis Schenck, 1853, Megachile conjuncta Smith, 1879, Nomia iridescens Smith, 1858, Xylocopa collaris Lepeletier, 1841, and Xylocopa violacea (Linnaeus, 1758) are new records for Nepal.
