Question about #Bombus #Bumblebee :
My general insect field guide (Insects of Britain and Western Europe from M. Chinery) says that "some Northern [Bumblebee, Bombus] species produce very few workers - even none in the Arctic".
But I can't find a reference for a workerless Bombus species outside of social parasites. Does anybody know of them ? That would be super interesting.
Boost welcome to reach the few people who might know đ

And on the many dandelions nearby, what is possibly the first cuckoo bumblebee of the season:
Bombus bohemicus (tentative ID), the Bohemian cuckoo bumblebee http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/153981693 and http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/153981033

âBumblebees acquire alternative puzzle-box solutions via social learningâ Alice Bridges et al. 2023, Chittkaâs lab @PLOSBiology https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.3002019
Social awareness, individual peer recognition, language. These seem widespread across #Hymenoptera. Reminded of paper wasps that, when witnessing two colony members fighting, remember who won and who lost, and from then on behave differently to each.

As the Mastodon instance I am working from was created to focus on beekeeping I thought it time to share a bee. Not a kept honey bee but a rather smart wild bee observed last summer sun on the Iles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec. I offer you the Red-belted Bumble Bee (Bombus rufocinctus)

Incredibly, this observation has been confirmed to be a male of Bombus terrestris https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/147603705 given its 13 antennal segments and pattern of the tip of the abdomen.
What is a male bumblebee doing out and about, wings intactâmeaning, youngâin late January in Cambridge, UK? Are there overwintering coloniesâwhich would be very rare for bumblebees?

I donât think Iâll be seeing any more rusty-patched bumble bees in 2022, but excited to see this individual on October 8; personal latest observation for me. #BumbleBees #Bombus #RPBB #EndangeredSpecies

GrÀver i arkiven och hittar en mapp med foton frÄn Bombus spelning pÄ Sabaton Open Air i Falun 2018. Tydligen kom jag aldrig sÄ lÄngt som att gÄ igenom bilderna (det blir lÀtt sÄ nÀr man inte har en uppdragsgivare som kittlar en i nacken med piskan). HÀr bakom hÄret ska tydligen Feffe finnas. Jag vet inte, jag, men...

Schwer, auch weil die GröĂe fehlt. Mir scheint noch vor dem Kopf eine feine, helle Querbinde rĂŒber zu gehen? Auch schwer zu sehen.
Zumindest meine ich die Körbchenhaare am hinteren Beinpaar zu erkennen, was schonmal die Steinhummel-Schmarotzerhummel ausschlieĂt.
Ich weià nicht, wie die App das macht, denn das Unterscheidungsmerkmal Stein- zu Grashummel sind rote Körbchenhaare bei der Grashummel. Die kann ich aber nicht erkennen. Ich sage Steinhummel. #Bombus lapidarius.
