| Abstract | The bee (Apiformes) faunas inhabiting Wielkopolska-Kujawy Lowland, as described by Valentin TORKA in 1913, and about the year 2000 were assessed and compared with regard to species diversity, structure and abundance. A total of 317 species were found to live there at present, which proves the persistence of the fauna in a region subjected to most intensive and long-lasting economic pressures. Forty-one (11.4%) rare species were not registered in the area of study, but were found in adjacent regions. Compared to TORKA'S data, there were 79 (22%) new species. The paper also describes the territorial expansion and increased abundance of some species, especially eastward expansion of Andrena fulva as well as the appearance of Bombus semenoviellus and its expansion westwards. |
