Abstract:

 

During 1995 and 1996, it was determined that there were 42 bee species belonging to 5  families visiting sunflowers in the Erzurum region. The species with the highest number of bees  visiting sunflowers was Apis mellifera L. (80-88%). Wild bee species accounted for 12-20% of  sunflower visits. The most abundant wild bee species were Pyrobombus incertus(Mor.), P. cullumanus  apollineus (Skor.), Megabombus sylvarum daghestanicus(Rad.), M. armeniacus(Rad)., M. ruderarius.
