132 Natura Somogyiensis Srdjan Susie Senior Expert for Sustainable Growth at Regional Cooperation Council, REC Belgrade. In his work, titled "Fauna bumbara (Apoidea, Hymenoptera) borskog podrueja, Projekat Ekoloka istraivanja Borskog podrueja", he investigated the bumble bee fauna of the south-western projections of Carpathians close to the Romanian border around Bor (SuSió 1994). Srdjan graduated as Bs.C. in Belgrade University and got his M.Sc. at London School of Economics and Political Science in 2005-2006. He is active in sustainable growth projects. Ronald Burger Apoidea specialist of Neustadt Pollichia. It is an entomological workgroup, research and nature conservation club focusing for Rheinland-Pfalz. Ronald Burger has one paper on the apoidea fauna of Serbia. In Burger 2010, he wrote: "Ifound Colletes hederae Schmidt & Westrich, 1993 in the province of Vojvodina, Serbia. This species had never been found previously in this country and this record indicates that this bee is likely to be more widespread in Southeastern Europe than previously thought.". Zsolt Józan (for his biography see the Hungarian part) identified pollinator hymenoptera species for a project on the investigation of the pollinator fauna of Serbia. Their scientific output is titled "Pollinator diversity (Hymenoptera and Diptera) in semi-natural habitats in Serbia during summer" (Mudri-Stojnic et al. 2012). In this paper, he identified 56 pollinator wild bee species from 16 semi natural sampling points in Serbia. Zsolt didn't participated in the field works. His coauthors are: Sonja Mudri-Stojnic Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, Ph.D. student. This is her first paper on Hymenoptera. She was personally in Memye, Kaposvár and Budapest. Her mother is Hungarian, therefore she speaks Hungarian very well. She was together with Ante Vujic in Hungary. Andrijana Andric Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, young researcher, published few papers on genus Merodon (Diptera: Syrphidae) and Omithogallum sp. She is not specialized for Hymenoptera. Ante Vujic (1960 Becej - ) Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, PhD. in Biology, Faculty of Sciences, Department of Biology and Ecology, University of Novi Sad, Serbia, in 1992. Ante Vujtic is full professor of Environmental Protection, Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, University of Novi Sad (research interests: environment protection, conservation biology, endangered species, protected areas).
