摘要：

Sixteen species of insects belonging to four families of Hymenoptera visited flowers of Ocimum basilicum. Among them, non-Apis bees represented 85% of all flower visitors. Nectar was the main attractant for floral visitors. Besides Ocimum, agricultural crops such as cucumber, bitter gourd, brinjal, etc. in adjacent fields were visited by the same species of flower visitors. Hence, if planted near the agricultural fields, Ocimum sp. could attract pollinating insects for enhancing crop productivity.
