Abstract

Seasonal occurrence and visiting flowers species of overwintered bumblebee queens were investigated during the spring season of 2000. A total of 1,277 overwintered bumblebee queens were collected, consisting of seven species of Bombus and one species of Psithyrus. The dominant species were Bombus ardens Smith and Bombus ignitus Smith. The heydays of their occuring season were the early April for B. ardens and the second half of the May for B. ignitus. B. ignitus was mainly collected on Prunus yedoensis Matsumura and Corydalis speciosa Min, and B. ardens on the Rhodldendron mucronulatum Turcz and Prunus yedoensis.

토종뒤영벌의 출현시기와 방화식물을 조사하기 위하여 2000년 3월에서 5월 사이에 여왕벌을 채집하였다. 뒤영벌아과의 뒤영벌속 7종과 떡벌속 1종 등, 총 8종 1,277마리의 월동여왕벌이 채집되었는데 우점종은 좀뒤영벌과 호박벌이었다. 좀뒤영벌은 3월 하순에서 5월 중순사이에 호박벌은 4월 중순에서 5월 하순사이에 출현하였고, 출현빈도가 높은 시기는 각각 4월 중순과 5월 중순 이후였다. 좀뒤영벌은 진달래와 벚나무에서, 호박벌은 벚나무와 산괴불주머니에서 주로 채집되었다.
