Abstract:[Objectives]  To measure the diversity of pollinators in different habitat types. [Methods]  Pollinator diversity was measured in a typical forest habitat (Zhongtiao mountains, Qinshui county) and a montane orchard (pear orchard, Xi county) with Malaise traps. [Results]  A total of 7 090 pollinators were trapped in the forest habitat and 8 817 in the pear orchard habitat. Although more individual pollinators were trapped in the pear orchard than in the forest habitat, the latter had twice as many species. The similarity coefficient was 0.362 2, which indicates moderate unlikeness. The Formicieae and Cecidomyiidae were the dominant families in both habitats, but there were some habitat-specific dominant and common groups. The Diversity, Evenness and Richness indices of the forest habitat were significantly higher than those of the pear orchard, but the Dominant concentration and Dominance index were significantly lower. [Conclusion]  More species of pollinators were found in a forest habitat than in a pear orchard, and the forest pollinator community was more complex and uniform than that of the pear orchard where species were more concentrated. Increasing the diversity of vegetation in agricultural habitats could increase pollinator diversity and thereby promote more sustainable agriculture.
