Bifidobacteria were present in the gut of most social insects – honey bees, wasps, cockroaches and bumblebees, except for ants. In honey bees, where the counts of bifidobacteria ranged from 2 to 8 % of the total bacteria, the most common species seemed to be Bifidobacterium indicum. Proportion of bifidobacteria was found in broad range from 0.1 to 35–37 % in wasps and cockroaches; the variance of bifidobacteria in bumblebees was lower, ranging from 1 to 7 % of total bacterial count.
