Resumen

Los abejorros son polinizadores importantes en la naturaleza, debido a que prestan su servicio a plantas silvestres y cultivadas. Naturalmente, anidan en cavidades en el suelo, donde se pueden exponer a una gran variedad de organismos o interactuar con estos. Un nido de Bombus pauloensis en la Sabana de Bogotá fue transferido a un nido artificial y reubicado cerca de un apiario, debido a que el nido original fue quemado intencionalmente. Se tuvo por objetivo preservar la colonia e identificar los artrópodos asociados, ya que son poco estudiados en Colombia. Se tomaron muestras de los organismos encontrados en el nido, para determinación taxonómica. Varios organismos con hábitos comensales, descomponedores y parásitos se encontraron, incluyendo Antherophagus sp. (Coleoptera: Crytophagidae), cucarrones del gusano alambre (Coleoptera: Elateride), Fannia canicularis (Diptera: Fanniidae) y ácaros de los géneros Parasitellus y Pneumolaelaps (Acarina). Este es el primer reporte de otros organismos, diferentes de Antherophagus, para un nido de B. pauloensis, en Colombia.
