Abstract
Attention is given to the diversity and abundance of bumble bees in the city of Novosibirsk and its environs. The species list of Bombus Latr. and Psithyrus Lep. is given for the observation territory specifying their relative abundance. B. pseudobaicalensis Vogt, 1911, B. saltuarius (Skorikov, 1931), Ps. barbutellus (Kirby, 1802), Ps. norvegicus (Sparre-Schneider, 1918) and Ps. sylvestris (Lepeletier, 1832) are the first records for the Novosibirsk region. The seasonаl dynаmics of number and diversity of these insects are investigated.
