| Summary: | <p class="IsiAbstrakIndo">Wild bee pollinators (Hymenoptera : Apiade) diversity and abundance were studied in three types of plantation forest on Mt. Slamet (Central Java Province, Indonesia). The aims of the research was to know the diversity and abundance of wild bee pollinators and to determine the possibility of plantation forest contribution on wild bees conservation. Sampling has been done at three stands: a pine forest (PF, with <em>Pinus merkusii</em>), an Agathis forest (AF, with <em>Agathis damara</em>) and a community forest (CF, with <em>Albizia falctaria</em>). Each habitat was divided into 5 line transect (100 x 5 m) and sweep nets were used to collect the wild bee samples. Sampling was done eah month from April to August 2015. The diversity of wild bees was high (12 species in 9 genera; members of the Apidae (7 species were dominant). <span lang="EN-GB">The most abundant species across the forests were </span><em>Apis cerana</em><span lang="EN-GB"> (343 individuals; 25.5% of total), </span><em>Trigona laeviceps</em><span lang="EN-GB"> (195 individuals; 14.5%), and </span><em>Megachille relativa </em><span lang="EN-GB">(165 individuals; 12.3%)</span>. Measurements of species diversity (<em>H</em>’), species evenness (<em>E</em>), habitat similarity (<em>Ss</em>) and species richness indicated that the wild bee species diversity in the region was relatively high <span lang="EN-GB">(</span><em>H</em>’ = <span lang="EN-GB">1.275)</span> to <span lang="EN-GB">(</span><em>H</em>’<span lang="EN-GB"> = 1.730);</span><span lang="EN-GB">(</span>E= <span lang="EN-GB">0.870)</span> to<span lang="EN-GB"> (</span>E = <span lang="EN-GB">0.93)</span>.
