white-tailed bumblebee

Bombus lucorum

Description:

Slightly smaller than Bombus terrestris, and with a white tip to her abdomen. Queens and workers have bright lemon or creamy yellow stripes with a white tail that may have a pinkish flush. There is a yellow 'collar', which is narrower in B. lucorum, but extends below the bases of the wings. (EOL)

Habitat:

Widespread in Europe and northern Asia, almost to the Pacific. Nests are commonly constructed underground in disused rodent nests, or similar protected positions where there is available material for insulation. (EOL)
