I have read it, but it doesn't say anything about the colour of the pollen pockets...
Well this could be of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombus_terr... (The queen is 2–2.7 cm long, while the workers are 1½–2 cm. The latter are characterized by their white-ended abdomens and look (apart from their yellowish bands being darker in direct comparison) just like those of the white-tailed bumblebee)
Wow!
Hehe thanks :)
I don't know, but would really like to know... Have white one too :)
That was fast. Do he different coloured pockets mean something?
