Abstract

In the present research work, the population incidence of the bumblebee Bombus ephippiatus in the community of Agua del Sauco was determined in the Municipality of Techaluta de Montenegro. 392 insects were collected, of which 372 are bumblebees of the species Bombus ephippiatus and 20 correspond to another insect. All bumblebee populations collected were found foraging. The population incidence of bumblebee queens increased in the month of July with the highest peak in the months of August and March. Which gives us a wider window for bumblebee breeding in captivity.
