Abstract:
Studies on bees, Apoidea were conducted in Pulau Bidong from 2 June until
6 June 2015 and Pulau Perhentian from 14 September until 18 September 2015 to
identify the bees species present in both islands. Bees were collected by active method
using aerial net along 1 km - 2 km sampling transect, and passive methods using two
Modifid Pennsylvanian light traps and 20 baited traps for four trapping nights. A total
of 61 individuals of bees from fie species were collected from Pulau Bidong and 20
individuals of bees from fie species were collected from Pulau Perhentian. In order to
get the actual species list at both islands, more samplings need to be conducted to cover
the whole islands.
