Both aspects contributed to the management diversity of agroforestry systems (Table 1).

the morning between 10:30 and 12:00 a. m. in a standardized way along six random transects each 4 m wide and 30 m long. Sampling was conducted by sweep netting in the herb layer and the understorey of the forested plots. Each bee was caught if possible and the visited plant was noted. We additionally caught slow flying bees, which were searching for flowers, but we did not consider fast

passing bees, as they may be ‘tourists’ that do not belong to the plot specific apifauna. To account for temporal species turnover, we conducted five sampling phases with each plot visited once per phase: 1: 22 March 2005–20 April 2005, 2: 26 April 2005–03 June 2005, 3: 08 June 2005–21 July 2005, 4: 10 January 2006–09 February 2006 and 5: 28 February 2006–17 March 2006. Bee species were identified by Stephan Risch from Leverkusen, Germany. Voucher specimens are kept at the Bogor Agricultural Teicoplanin University (IPB) in Indonesia. Density of each flowering plant species and flower diversity in the herb layer and understorey were recorded subsequent to each transect walk. Flower density of each plant species per transect was estimated, using a scale between one, equivalent to a single flower of one species, and 100 for a species that covers the whole area with flowers. The six transect walks per observation morning and plot covered almost half of the plot core area (720 m2). Plant species were identified with the help of Dr. Ramadhanil Pitopang from the Herbarium Celebense at the Tadulako University in Palu (Indonesia) using the local collection and library. For standardization we conducted transect walks only on sunny and calm days, but to test for the effect of minor daily climatic differences on bee species composition, we recorded temperature, humidity and light intensity.
