Au moins sept espèces de Colletes sont présentes en Presqu’île guérandaise. Cet article indique dans quels milieux et sur quelles plantes l’auteur a observé ces abeilles. Bees of the genus Colletes (Hymenoptera, Colletidae) in the Guérande peninsula (Loire-Atlantique, France). At least seven species of Colletes have been found in the Guérande Peninsula. This paper illustrates the habitats where the species have been found, as well as the flowering plants visited.

L’auteur, qui a séjourné dans le Parc Naturel Régional du Queyras (France) entre le 9 et le 17 août 2007, y a noté la présence de plus d’une vingtaine d’espèces de bourdons. Cet article rapporte les observations les plus intéressantes concernant Bombus gerstaeckeri Morawitz, B. inexspectatus (Tkalců), B. brodmannicus Vogt et l'accouplement de B. mendax Gerstaecker. Rare bumblebees of the Queyras Regional Natural Park (Hautes-Alpes, France). The author, who stayed in the Parc Naturel Régional du Queyras (France) between the 9th and the 17th August 2007, noted the presence of more than twenty species of bumblebees. This paper deals with the most interesting observations about Bombus gerstaeckeri Morawitz, B. inexspectatus (Tkalců), B. brodmannicus Vogt and the copulation of B. mendax Gerstaecker.

En septembre 2007 l’auteur a observé en Loire-Atlantique (France) Stenoria analis Schaum lors de l’accouplement, la ponte et la naissance des triongulins (premier stade larvaire du méloïdé). Des photos prises sur le site montrent comment les triongulins s’agrippent aux mâles de Colletes hederae Schmidt & Westrich afin de rejoindre le nid de leurs abeilles hôtes où les larves pourront poursuivre leur cycle de développement. Observations in Loire-Atlantique (France) of Stenoria analis (Schaum) (Coleoptera, Meloidae), cleptoparasite of Colletes hederae Schmidt & Westrich (Hymenoptera, Colletidae). In September 2007 the author observed in Loire-Atlantique (France) Stenoria analis Schaum during the mating, the egg-laying, the hatching of the triungulins (first instar larvae of the blister beetle). Pictures taken on the site of observations show how the triungulins cling to the males of Colletes hederae Schmidt & Westrich to reach the nest of their host bees where the larvae will complete their life cycle.

International audience; Bombus gerstaeckeri Morawitz, well-known as a bumblebee specialized on monkshood (Aconitum, Ranunculaceae), was observed in August 2006 in various localities of the Parc Naturel National des Ecrins (Hautes- Alpes, France). In one of the stations, the author noted regular visits of this bumblebee on Delphinium dubium (Rouy et Fouc.) Pawl. (Ranunculaceae), which has never been reported before.; Bombus gerstaeckeri Morawitz, un bourdon spécialisé sur les aconits (Aconitum, Ranunculaceae), a été observé en août 2006 dans divers sites du Parc Naturel des Ecrins (Hautes-Alpes, France). Dans l’une des stations, l’auteur a remarqué des visites régulières de ce bourdon sur les fleurs de Delphinium dubium (Rouv et Fouc.) Pawl. (Ranunculaceae), ce qui n’avait jamais été observé jusqu’à présent.
