摘要

The bumble bees of Taiwan are taxonomically reviewed and keyed. Eight social species and one social-parasitic species are recorded. Distribution ranges within Taiwan are plotted, based on examination of about 4500 specimens. Taiwan ranges of the honey bee Apis cerana, and the stingless bee Trigona ventralis are estimated, with discussion of possible competitive displacement by honey bees of other social bees. Some notes are given on the incidence of uropodid mites on queens, workers and males of Bombus wilemani. A key to the large carpenter bees (Anthophoridae: Xylocopa) of Taiwan is appended.

本文綜述及檢索台灣的8種社會性及1種社會寄生性熊蜂，並標出其在台灣的分布範圍。文中嘗試探討中國蜂Apis cerana及無螫蜂Trigona ventralis爲其他社會性蜜蜂競爭取代之現象及推測其在台灣的分布範圍。文末也附記一些在Bombus wilemani的蜂后、工蜂及雄蜂身上發現的寄生蟎類，及台灣大型花蜂（花蜂科：木蜂屬）的檢索表。
