Abstract
A study was conducted in the Pakistan Forest Institute, Peshawar to record the insect pollinators and their abundance on the inflorescence of Paulownia during spring season. The insect species, belonging to 6 families of order Hymenoptera and order Diptera, were recorded on the blossoms of Paulownia in four time periods, 8-9 a.m, 11-12 a.m, 2-3 p.m and 5-6 p.m. Xylocopa fenestrate Fabr., family Xlycopidae, order Hymenoptera spent maximum duration on the blossoms. Among honeybees, Apis dorsata, family Apidae, order Hymenoptera was found more abundantly on the blossoms in all the time periods. A maximum population of all honeybees species was recorded at the first observation period.
