The KOSMOS Bumblebee Guide

Bumblebees belong to the "True Bees." There are about 70 species of bumblebees in Europe, with a bumblebee colony consisting of only 50 to 600 individuals. Unlike honeybees, bumblebees are already busily flying around at lower temperatures. However, bumblebees often go unnoticed in the overall picture. That is now changing, as this book, for the first time, describes the bumblebees of Europe in 55 comprehensive species portraits – from distribution to habitat to food plants. Some less common species are described in summary. The comprehensive species portraits make species identification easy.
