abstract
Present study was carried out to record the insect pollinators on the blossom of Moringa oleifera during its flowering season. All the insects that visited the M. oleifera flowers between 6.00am and 6:00pm were observed and collected. The diversity and abundance of the insect visitors on the blossom were determined. Six species of Apidae family, two species of Vespidae, two species of Papilionidae family and one species of Nymphalidae family were found visiting the flowers of M. oleifera. A. florea was recorded as top workers on inflorescence of M. oleifera as pollen and nectar gatherers followed by Apis dorsata, Amegilla sp., Megachile sp. and Xylocopa sp.
