In the last ten years, a growing number of studies have focused on urban green areas as potential refuges for biodiversity, where private gardens, urban parks and green roofs have relatively high diversities of wild bees. However, the western Mediterranean is still poorly studied and is a biodiversity hotspot that is already suffering the consequen...

... On peut signaler également la proportion relativement importante des Nomada (46 espèces), à mettre en relation avec la prospection ciblée sur les abeilles-coucous du second auteur. Il est difficile de comparer ce total avec celui de l'inventaire préliminaire du département du Lot [Philippe, 2020], qui comprend 398 espèces (39 % des espèces de France métropolitaine). En effet, les efforts de prospection consentis ne sont pas les mêmes. ...
Preliminary list of Hymenoptera Anthophila from Ariège (France) department and contribution to the study of the fauna of Saint-Barthélémy Massif Natural Regional Reserve. The preliminary list of Hymenoptera Anthophila from Ariège department, based on approximately 3000 specimens collected by nets or Malaise traps, includes 338 species of which 65 are found in the Saint-Barthélémy Massif Regional Natural Reserve.
... Finally, the 161 remaining species were classified as Least Concern. In parallel, the will to establish a Red List on wild bees in France exists (see Philippe 2020;Terret et al., 2020), and it should become a reality in the coming years however depending on the politician's will to fund such initiative. Nevertheless, numerous Red Lists developed at a regional scale (e.g. the regions of Auvergne, Alsace, Picardie, Nord Pas-de-Calais) highlighted a higher proportion not for bee but for threatened butterfly species (Bachelard, 2013;Hubert and Haubreux, 2014;Imago, 2014;Picardie Nature, 2016). ...
The decline of pollinators has been demonstrated scientifically and this phenomenon is widely recognized by both the general public and by stakeholders. Since pollinators face different threats that are all linked to human activities, there is a unique and unprecedented responsibility for people to conserve pollinators, requiring political action to counter the substantial worldwide risk of pollinator loss. As our perception of the situation is rapidly changing, as a result of the steady accumulation of international and national reports as well as new scientific findings, we propose here to provide an updated overview of pollinator conservation globally. We present the key messages and the proposed solutions found in international reports and assessments, how European countries have interpreted these solutions proposed in the context of existing international frameworks. Next, we analyze how scientific research is addressing the issue of pollinator conservation through different international, European and national programs. The analysis of the keywords used in published scientific articles also allows us to characterize how the scientific community has engaged with this issue over time. Finally, we focus on how France and Belgium have reacted to the observed decline of pollinators, and examine their national interpretations, conservation actions and research contributions.
