Counts of facultative anaerobic bacteria and lactobacilli (5.41 ± 2.92 and 2.69 ± 3.02 log CFU/g of digestive tract content) were lower than those of anaerobes (7.66 ± 0.86 log CFU/g). Counts of bifidobacteria were determined using two selective media: MTPY (Modified Trypticase Phytone Yeast extract agar) and a new medium with pollen extract. There was no significant difference between the counts of bifidobacteria from both media, 5.00 ± 2.92 log CFU/g on MTPY and 5.00 ± 2.87 on the pollen medium. Subsequently, 187 bacterial strains of the family Bifidobacteriaceae (fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive) were isolated from three different localities and from all three species of bumblebees.
