The distribution and abundance of Meliponinae and Apidae, as well as the effects of deforestation on Meliponinae, at two elevations on the Pacific slope of Costa Rica were studied. All apids were collected using a pan trap method at 700 m and 1700 m in forest and pasture. The low elevation had higher diversity of Apidae and Meliponinae than the high elevation. These findings are consistent with InBIO (Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad) data on overall elevational trends in Meliponinae and Apidae, yet four species of Meliponinae found in this study add new elevational ranges to InBIO’s records. This study found that apids and stingless bees had more diversity in pastures than in forests. Also there was no significant difference in Meliponi...
