Contributions to Bombus Latreille (Hymenoptera: Apidae) Fauna of Eskişehir Province of Turkey

In this study, Bombus species, which are distributed in Eskişehir province, were considered. The study was conducted in 2020. Atotal 72 specimens were examined, 11 species were recorded and B. barbutellus, B. rupestris, B. laesus and B. ruderarius werereported for the first time from Eskişehir. Besides, the data about their distribution among Turkey are given in addition to the dataabout the plant taxa on which the specimens were caught. As a consequence, the decreased population trends of some bumblebeesof Turkey were discussed.
