Bumblebee;
Bombus sp.
43.5521, -6.99635
Field Notes
Description:
The most common ginger coloured bumblebee in Spain is Bombus pasquorum. But if there is a complete absence of black hairs on the abdomen, then the bumblebee is probably not B. pascuorum, but either B. humilis or B. muscorum
In a very sunny summer the hairs of older bees can become faded and appear beige in colour. The thorax is always covered in hairs, with other bumblebees there is sometimes a bald patch in the centre of the thorax of older workers and the queen. This can be caused by wear as the bees rub against the side and roof of the nest, but this is hardly ever seen in Bombus pascuorum.
Habitat:
Sandy coastal dunes
