Communities of bees (Apiformes) were studied in the Wolin National Park in 2002-2003. The Park is located on the island of Wolin in northwestern Poland, at the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. In total, 133 bee species were recorded there in various habitats. This study shows that the major role in protection of bee communities is played by xerothermic and sandy grasslands. They are distinguished by the highest species diversity of Apiformes, including Anthophora bimaculata and its nest parasite Ammobates punctatus (rare in mainland Poland). In contrast, coastal grey dunes support mostly bumblebees, including cuckoo bumblebees.
