The paper presents preliminary results of a study of the species composition of individual families of insects of the order Hymenoptera in the Sviati Hory National Nature Park and in the territories reserved for the expansion of the park's borders. As a result of the study, 83 species from 8 families and 18 subfamilies were recorded. Two species listed in the Red Book of Ukraine (Megascolia maculate and Sphex funerarius), three species included in the List of animal species subject to special protection in the territory of the Donetsk region (Bembix olivacea, Chrysis comparata, and Parnopes grandior) as well as one invasive species were found (Sceliphron curvatum). New localities were established for the identified regionally rare species. Single finds of three wasp species were noted: Stizus ruficornis, S. perrisi, and Philanthus decemmaculatus, which are rare for the fauna of Ukraine and the region, but not included in the protected lists.
