The Natura 2000 network, whose objective is assumed to be to protect Europe’s natural heritage, imposes on the EU member states the duty of monitoring and assessing threats to nature, according to the current Birds and Habitats Directives. Among invertebrates, monitoring is obligatory only for 2 species of Odonata, 11 species of Lepidoptera, 8 species of Coleoptera and 4 species of Mollusca. To date, no species of Hymenoptera has entered the list of species of Community interest. Importantly, protection under the Natura 2000 netwrok network has been offered to valuable natural habitats, such as xerothermal grasslands or inland psammophilous grasslands, which support a large diversity of insects, including Hymenoptera. A number of researchers have pointed out that inappropriate conservation may bring about considerable losses of biological diversity in these ecosystems. This group plays a special role in natural and human economy. The present paper summarises current research on pollinating insects (bees, Apiformes) in areas covered by the Habitats Directive and identifies relevant needs. Maps of Natura 2000 areas have been used to assess the identification of diversity (and possibly density) of Apiformes in areas of traditional conservation efforts, i.e. national parks, landscape parks and nature reserves. Bee faunas have been identified to a satisfactory degree only in 15 national parks (65.21%) located within areas covered under the Natura 2000 network and remain unrecognised in as many as 8 national parks/Natura 2000 areas. In the remaining Natura 2000 areas, the level of bee identification is negligible, i.e. only in a few national parks, such as the Mazury National Park or the Chełmiński and Nadwiślański Landscape Park Complex, have bee diversity studies been completed. The incorporation of new areas under the Natura 2000 scheme is a challenge to bee researchers that can hardly be met in view of lack offunding for such research. Studies limited to selected species valuable to the Community clearly do not answer the need to protect the pollinator fauna.
