基于2005—2009年从河北地区(包括河北省、北京市和天津市)所采集的1893号熊蜂标本资料,结合中国科学院动物研究所馆藏记录,分析了河北地区熊蜂物种多样性和蜂群繁育特性.结果表明:河北地区共有熊蜂属昆虫8亚属32种,其中河北省32种,北京市18种,天津市5种;西部太行山区、北部燕山山区和坝上高原地区熊蜂种类丰富度和多度较高;河北地区熊蜂的访花植物涉及到21科80种,其中,菊科、豆科和唇形科植物是大多数熊蜂种类访问的主要对象;小峰熊蜂、红光熊蜂、密林熊蜂、火红熊蜂和重黄熊蜂5种熊蜂群势强大,平均单群蜂的工蜂数量在110只以上,雄蜂数量在160只以上,子代蜂王数在30只以上;这5种熊蜂的繁育成群率均在50%以上,易于人工驯养,具有重要的传粉利用价值.
Based on the 1893 specimens collected from Hebei Province,Beijing City,and Tianjin City in 2005-2009,and the specimens deposited in the Institute of Zoology,Chinese Academy of Sciences,this paper analyzed the species diversity and colony characteristics of bumblebees in the Hebei region of North China. A total of 32 species belonging to 8 subgenera of Bombus were recorded,with 32 species in Hebei Province,18 species in Beijing,and 5 species in Tianjin. The bumblebee in Taihang Mountains,Yanshan Mountains,and Bashang Plateau had the highest richness and abundance,and its food-plant included 80 species of 21 families,among which,Compositae,Leguminosae,and Labiatae were most important. Five bumblebee species,i.e.,Bombus hypocrita,B. ignitus,B. patagiatus,B. pyrosoma,and B. picipes,had the largest colony,with more than 110 workers,160 drones,and 30 young queens produced per colony. The success in rearing colonies of each of the 5 species by queens was 50%,demonstrating that these 5 species had the potential to be mass-reared,with important applied value for crop pollination.
