        abstract = {This study evaluates the foraging behaviour of bee species on Prosopis cineraria and Albizia lebbeck during of 2021-2023. The experiments and sample collections were carried out in the Jaipur tehsil (District Jaipur) of Rajasthan state and focused on assessing the duration, speed, and rate of foraging activities. Bee species demonstrated the longest foraging duration, beginning at 06:40 AM and ending at 18:00PM. Apis dorsata spent the most time in P. cineraria among the species examined, whereas Apis cerana spent the most time on the flowers of A. lebbeck. The study found that variations in foraging behaviour across species significantly affect the efficiency of Prosopis cineraria and Albizia lebbeck pollination. These insights are crucial for optimizing pollinator management strategies, thereby enhancing crop yields and supporting sustainable agricultural practices.},
