Abstract
Intensive use of agri-inputs may impact pollinators’ guild. Surveys conducted in six agro-climatic regions of the state resulted in the collection of total 49 bee specimens, out of which 34 were identified upto species level. Amegilla cingulata, Bombus haemorrhoidalis, Halictus propinquus, Lipotriches fulvinerva, Nomia crassipes and Megachile binghami were recorded for the first time from the state. The DNA barcode sequences of Ceratina hieroglyphica, Halictus propinquus, Nomia westwoodi, Lipotriches fulvinerva, Ceylalictus punjabensis, Coelioxys decipiens, Megachile binghami and Andrena aegyptiaca were registered for the first time in GenBank. Reduction in the number of bee species was observed when compared with the previous reports from the same area.
