Diversity of bees along elevational gradient in different agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh

Kriti Arpana Minz, Ankita Gupta and SS Shaw

During July 2019 to February 2020, multiple surveys were conducted in the National Parks, various Wildlife Sanctuaries and different agro-ecosystems across different agro climatic zones of Chhattisgarh state situated at different altitudes to document the species diversity and abundance of bees. A total of 396 individuals belonging to three families were collected. Apidae was the most dominant family with 196 individuals followed by Halictidae with 143 individuals and Megachilidae with 30 individuals being the least. An irregular pattern of bee species diversity in relation to the altitude was observed and the number of captured individuals differed significantly between the low and high altitudes.
