“…It is striking that surveys are the most frequent discipline within the literature captured. Surveys of Bombus which capture cuckoo bumblebees are invaluable for providing baseline data on the distribution and habitat associations of this lesser‐studied subgenus, and may be of use in future monitoring programmes and comparative analysis (e.g., Monfared et al, 2007). However, given that cuckoo bumblebees are less widespread, less visible, and less abundant than their hosts, general surveys of Apidae or Bombus may not provide the most accurate picture of cuckoo bumblebee abundance or distribution unless they take into account the cuckoo bumblebee lifecycle.…”

“…While the bumblebee fauna of Western and Central Asia has received substantial attention within the last several decades, most notably in the Middle-East (Rasmont and Flagothier 1996;Özbek 1997, 2000Monfared et al 2008Monfared et al , 2009Boustani et al 2020) and in the Himalaya (Williams 1991;Williams et al 2010;Streinzer et al 2019), Afghanistan however has remained under-studied due to the effects of longstanding effect of human conflict on scientific work in the country. Most identified specimens in the present work were collected at high elevation in the Afghan Pamir (Wakhan Corridor) and Hindu-Kush mountains (Fig.…”

“…In the present study, most of the studies that have studied wild bees in Iran have been reviewed and their results are as follows. Monfared et al (2005) in a collective study on wild bees in Iran, acknowledged that 34 species of Iranian bumblebees are found in twenty provinces of Iran (Monfared et al, 2005). Khodaparast and Monfared (2012) in a comprehensive work on wild bees in Fars province (southern Iran), identi ed 177 species, of which 56 species belong to the Apoidea family, 49 species of Halictidae, 39 species of Megachilidae, 31 species of Andrenidae, one species of Melittidae and one species of Colletidae (Khodaparast and Monfared, 2012).…”
