Abstract:
The studies on diversity of insect pollinators revealed that the activity period of stingless bee was observed during both year of experimentation. However, in case of Apis bees the higher activity of A. florea was seen followed by activity of A. dorsata and A. cerana during Kharif season of 2018 and 2019. The pollinators of hymenoptera order were the most abundant followed by lepidoptera. Non-Apis bees were also act as promising pollinators in cucumber crop. The activity period of stingless bee was observed during both year of experimentation.
