Abstract

In 2024, during the month of June, mainly aculeate wasps and bees were investigated in seven locations in the Primorsko-goranska county and one in the Karlovac county. A total of 150 aculeate species were found (119 bee species and 31 wasp species). However, there are still numerous wasps that have not been determined, as the author is missing the necessary expertise or up-to-date determination keys for the region could not be found. The bee species found represent 16% of the bee species found in Croatia (727 species). Among the species surveyed, one species was classified as Endangered (EN) by the European Red List of wild bees (Halictus carinthiacus Blüthgen, 1936).
