- Abstract
The presence of pollinator insects and their association with wild plants in the Tetzcotzingo System Reserve is reported. Fourteen species of the families Apidae, Crabronidae, Halictidae, Megachilidae, Tiphiidae, and Vespidae were identified. Pollinators were found in seven species of Asteraceae, Cactaceae, Lamiceae, and Polemoniaceae. The European honeybee, Apis mellifera L., was the pollinator most often present in the reserve. The greatest European honeybee-plant interaction was with Baccharis pteronioides (DC) (Asteraceae). The number of registered pollinators increased for B. pteronioides, Gymnosperma glutinosum (Spreng.) (Asteraceae), Ipomoea stans Cav (Convulvulaceae), Leonotis nepetifolia (L.) R.Br. (Lamiaceae), and Simsia amplexicaulis Pers. (Asteraceae).
