Résumé
Dans le cadre de nos études sur le développement de méthode d’élevage de différentes espèces sauvages de bourdons, nous avons expérimenté une technique de nidification spontanée de reines sauvages. Nos dispositifs de nids d’appel, qui contiennent de la litière de souris comme substrat, permettent d’attirer des reines de bourdons sauvages en recherche d’un nid et d’amorcer la construction du couvain. Sur un total de quatre années d’observation, nous avons installé 57 nids d’appel avec un taux de réussite de 44 % d’amorçage. Cependant, cette méthode présente quelques limitations et n’est pas adaptée pour les espèces de bourdons nichant dans le sol.

Notes about spontaneous nesting of bumblebees’ queens in Belgium (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Abstract
To develop a rearing system for different wild bumblebee species, we experimented techniques for spontaneous nesting of wild queens. Our nest devices, which contain mouse litter as substrate, are used to attract wild bumblebee queens in search of a nest and to initiate brood construction. Over a total of four years of observation, we have installed 57 call nests with a 44 % success rate of nest initiation. However, this method has some limitations and does not show satisfactory results for ground-nesting bumblebee species.
