Halictus Scabiosae in FVG.Pdf
Bollettino Soc. Naturalisti “Silvia Zenari”, Pordenone 36/2012 pp. 147-156 ISSN 1720-0245 Laura Fortunato1 - Pietro Zandigiacomo1 Fenologia e preferenze florali di Halictus scabiosae (Rossi) in Friuli Venezia Giulia Riassunto: Halictus scabiosae (Rossi) (Hymenoptera, Halictidae) è un insetto impollinatore Apoideo piuttosto comune in Friuli Venezia Giulia. In questa nota si descrive la fenologia della specie e si indicano le piante erbacee in fiore visitate da femmine e maschi. Nel quadriennio 1997-2000, periodici campionamenti sulla presenza e sull’attività pronuba di questa specie sono stati condotti, fra marzo e settembre, in due ambienti friulani: a) un agroecosistema misto in area planiziale a Udine (loc. S. Osvaldo) con molti fattori di disturbo, b) un’area collinare a Pagnacco (UD) (loc. Villa Rizzani) con prati, pascoli e siepi. Inoltre, ulteriori osservazioni sulle piante bottinate sono state condotte nel periodo 2006-2012 in prati polifiti a Pagnacco e Tavagnacco (UD). Individui di H. scabiosae sono stati osservati ininterrottamente per un lungo periodo fra marzo e settembre; ciò è in accordo con quanto riportato in letteratura ove la specie è indicata come bivoltina. I dati raccolti suggeriscono che la prima generazione, composta prevalentemente da femmine, si sviluppa nel periodo maggio-giugno, mentre la seconda, composta da femmine e maschi, fra luglio e settembre. Le osservazioni condotte nei periodi 1997-2000 e 2006-2012 hanno permesso di rilevare che le piante maggiormente visitate da H. scabiosae appartengono alla famiglia Compositae, seguono poi piante di altre famiglie, quali Dipsacaceae e Labiatae. In particolare, le piante più visitate dalle femmine sono state Helianthus annuus e Taraxacum officinale, mentre i maschi sono stati rilevati frequentemente su Centaurea nigrescens ed Helianthus tuberosus. -

Recent studies have changed our understanding of these bee groups in profound ways. It has become apparent that forms of social organization, caste de- termination, and sex allocation are more labile and complex than previously thought, although the terminologies for describing them are still inadequate. Furthermore, the unexpected complexity means that many key parameters in kin selection and reproductive skew models remain unquantified, and addressing this lack of informa- tion will be formidable. -

The reduction in their numbers in agricultural areas poses a threat for the pollination of entomophilous plants on global scale. The objective of this study was to establish areas of flowering varieties of grass mixes, ensuring proper habitats and food source for the pollinators of agricultural crops. The tests showed that the plant varieties in the grass mixes blossomed in the period April to June (1.5-2 months), providing varying species of pollinators, depending on the plants species. In the different-coloured layers of the grass mixtures: white, purple and yellow, the following pollinators were determined: Apis mellifera L., Megachile sp., Halictus scabiosae Rossi, Lasioglossum xanthopus Kirby, Melita leporita, Andrena flavipes Panzer., Macropis europaeae Warn., Anthidium manicatum L., Ceratina cucurbitina Rossi and Ceratina sp. -
European Bee Forage
EUROPEAN BEE FORAGE INTRODUCTION Traditionally, the relation between bees and food plants are often approached from two dif- ferent directions. In general, agronomists and plant scientists are concerned with the role of bees as important pollinators for crops and wild plants. And beekeepers and bee ecologists are princi- pally fascinated by the importance of plants as sources for nectar and pollen. Concerning the pollination effect of bees it is generally known that we need bees to pollinate our crops. About 80 percent of our food plants are pollinated by the help of animals, and these are mainly bees. About one third of all what we eat and drink, is produced through service sup- plied by pollinators. Nowadays, we learn more about this role played by the bees. The pollination provided by bees is known to be important for the growing of traditional and well-known crops, but recent evidence confirms also the significance of pollinating bees for some very interesting tropical and less common crops. It is consequential to obtain more knowledge about the pollina- tor needs of such crops. Through improved pollination, production or quality could be further in- creased. Through their pollination acts, bees appear essential for our own existence, and beekeepers should be rewarded for contributing in this respect. Modern beekeepers, of course, are mainly in- terested in the role of Apis bees. But for applied pollination purpose, it is also important to look into the specific pollinator role that is played in nature by non-Apis bees. The production of cer- tain non- Apis bees, e.g. -

The Institute is part of the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, and was established in 1973 by the merger of the research stations of the Nature Conservancy with the Institute of Tree Biology_ It has been at the forefront of ecological research ever since. The six research stations of the Institute provide a ready access to sites and to environmental and ecological problems in any pan of Britain. In addition co the broad environmental knowledge and experience expected of the modern ecologist, each station has a range of special expertise and facilities. Thus. the Institute is able to provide unparallelled opportunities for long-term, multidisciplinary studies of complex environmental and ecological problems. 1TE undertakes specialist ecological research on subjects ranging from micro-organisms to trees and mammals, from coastal habitats to uplands, trom derelict land to air pollution. Understanding the ecology of different species lit- natural and man-made communities plays an increasingly important role in areas such as monitoring ecological aspects of agriculture, improving productivity in forestry, controlling pests, managing and conserving wildlife, assessing the causes and effects of pollution, and rehabilitating disturbed sites. -
