Abstract

Wild bees represent an important component of natural resources which needs to be preserved. The work draws attention to the uniqueness of the wild bee fauna in specially protected natural areas. The survey, conducted in nature reserves and national parks in the south of the Far East, shows a violation of environmental legislation by institutions. Among them, there is a lack of understanding of how important it is to devoid placing honey bee apiaries within and near the borders of protected areas. At this, wild bees are being «squeezed out» by honey bees, which leads to the destruction of pristine ecosystems.
