In agricultural habitat 10 bumblebee species were recorded; 68.62% of which were dominated by five species viz., B. asiaticus. B. melanurus, B. rufofasciatus, B. semenovianus and B. tunicatus. However, in non-agricultural habitat 13 bumblebee species were recorded and more than 50% bumblebees were dominated by four species viz., B. asiaticus, B. avinoviellus, B. biroi and B. haemorrhoidalis. Significant variations were observed in the species richness at non-agricultural habitat but none in case of abundance at habitat level. Generally maximum species richness was recorded at Darkot.
